Czechs down 0-1 in Albania and honestly look more like getting another scored on them than doing so themselves... All the fans are wearing some kind of penis hat :huh:

Turkey takes the lead against Croatia away after half an hour. Bad decision by Livakovic to rush out and get stranded in no man's land, and ball gets easily chipped over him.

Oof, Chytil gets a second yellow for scoring with his arm. Honestly harsh, he was clearly trying to hit it with his shoulder and it was truly very close to being his shoulder.

Scots about to secure ther place in the finals, as McTom scores directly from a wide free kick near the touchline. Poor positioning from keeper Unai Simon.

Edit: Disallowed.

But I thought Norway's excuse for not making any tournament was their lack of quality besides the two stars?
Nope, they actually have a very good team.
And Haaland and Odegaard should actually also be judged on the way they fail in international competitions.

Jesus Navas still has it, nicely fools blocking Scottish player before crossing for Mo Rata with a diving header to score the go-ahead goal.

Scotland have to wait…

Turkey needed a result in Croatia and they got a win, deserved, VAR overruled a potential penalty for Croatia in the 90th minute, correct call. Turkey in decent shape, pressure now is all on Wales who have both Croatia and Turkey at home remaining, Armenia all but eliminated after their loss to Latvia

Albania one win away from qualification. Disappointing result for Romania

Sub Nusa with another good performance for Norway, being a provider in a couple of goals. Showed good skill and speed to get past opponents before making those nice passes.

Albania having a very impressive campaign thus far

They played great. I'm still a bit salty about the VAR decision though. It honestly looked like his shoulder to me, and if it wasn't, I don't know how you call that intentional. Very bogus decision that meant instead of the game being tied up, the Czechs went down to 10 men. That said, our team was not playing the greatest before that, but after that we stopped playing at all, mental clearly went right out the window.

I thought the same, it was very harsh 2nd yellow. It looked like shoulder and he certainly tried his best to score a legit goal with shoulder/chest, not cheat with hand.

Well, it didn't took long for Mbappe to get back into scoring form. I guess he wanted to show up for Koeman after his not so kind words.

First time the Dutch were able to use the skills of Xavi (although it was still contested area) and he got a shot off, which wasn't quite accurate enough, but still required a good save.

Mbappe with a tremendous goal again....

France should qualify 2 games from the end. Nice.

Belgium playing with a super fast front 4 and an awful back line sure makes for a very entertaining game :laugh:

Lukebakio finally finding his scoring touch for the NT team, great timing. On their way to securing qualification?

Edit: Lukaku goal all but seals it.

Austria trying to mount a comeback after Laimer robbed the ball from Doku in midfield and scored a long range effort around 70 mins.

Edit: Oh'nana now sent off for ankle stamping and then a bit of pushing match from some players. Austria still have a lot of catching up to do during the last ten minutes even with a man up.

Edit2: looks like a handball and Austria penalty. It's getting tense now after Sabitzer scores their 2nd.
