Ruthless selection at its best.

Norway

The Norwegians have little success, so the Russian team is slightly lower in the world ranking. But they will soon bypass Golovin’s team. Haaland and Odegaard are world-class stars and should play in a major national team tournament. But there was no luck with the draw: Spain is in the group and the state of the opponents. The Scots played a perfect qualifying tournament, winning 5 out of 6 matches. Today in the match between Norway and Spain Haaland’s fate will be decided. We know that Erling performs badly in decisive matches, although he collected 27 goals in 27 matches for the national team. It’s time to show off in the decisive match with the favorite, otherwise you won’t qualify.

Armenia

The team of Tiknizyan and Spertsyan is among those who want to empathize and trust. We found many ethnic Armenians around the world and brought them together under the leadership of Coach Petrakov. But there are few strong players in defense and they suffer a lot. Also no luck with the group. In many clubs Armenia would have a chance, but Turkey and Croatia are too strong to seriously bet on Spertsyan’s team. We started well, but the other day we lost sensationally against Latvia, making the situation worse. They can do without a stir in the selection, because Armenia played in the second division of the League of Nations – even through this tournament it will be difficult to qualify for the Euro. It’s a shame, because Spertsyan and Tiknizyan deserved a moment of glory, they tried to play competently and with bright offensive inserts.

Sweden

Top of the list FIFA, even if they have been behaving badly lately. They can’t find the right coach to transform themselves into the new Switzerland following a similar principle. Swedes have long had a large selection of migrant children from all over the world. But there are still no games and results to be proud of after Ibrahimovic’s retirement. Sweden are third in a group consisting of Belgium and Austria, and these rivals are unlikely to allow the northerners to move up the table. To win the final push we have to beat the Belgians tomorrow, but coach Tedesco is against such a turnaround. The former Spartak coach did not lose in the qualifying round, 5 wins and 1 draw, and has already reached the final. Could Belgium lose to the Swedes and lose motivation?

Ukraine

Sergei Rebrov’s team has a good composition. There is Trubin from Benfica, Zinchenko from Arsenal, Mudryk from Chelsea and Malinovsky with experience in Italy. But the draw sends Spalletti and Southgate into the group, in the teams that played in the European Championship final. Ukraine is winning, full-back Karavaev recently scored a beautiful goal with a diving shot from the edge – he saw that the North Macedonia goalkeeper had missed his goal. But after the match against Malta there is the match against Italy. Decisive battle, but the chances are low. Unless a new betting scandal affects the composition of the Italian national team, then it is surprising, even if the Ukrainians are not at their best right now.

Georgia

We ended up in a group with Morata, Holland and McTominay. Midfielder Manchester United in the Scottish national team he turns into a real points-scoring machine. Georgia had opportunities to surprise in weaker teams, but at the moment they have 4 points after 5 rounds. The lineup includes Kvaratskhelia, goalkeeper Mamardashvili from Valencia, players from Shakhtar and Sazonov from Turin, an acquaintance from Dynamo, where his compatriot Gagnidze plays. But so far Georgia has done a better job beating Thailand 8:0 than the Spanish, Norwegians and Scots. The composition of the team is wonderful, but Mister Sagnol has not yet achieved ideal results. However, the song is not sung for him: there will be joints of the League of Nations.

Wales

The Welsh, together with the Armenians, scored seven points in the group. But this is not enough, even if there is a game in hand. After Bale’s retirement from football, the team no longer has an incredible star. Of course, many Welsh players play for English clubs. Tottenham’s Davies and Fulham’s Wilson know how to deal intelligently with difficult opponents. But even the veteran Ramsey’s attempts at leadership have not yet been crowned with success. Wales play a key qualifier at home to Croatia today. If they manage to score three points at home, they will be included in the list of teams capable of breaking through in the final qualifying period, as the Albanian team did. The Welsh are also full of character.

Kazakhstan

Luxembourg will hold out for a place at Euro 2024, they have a two-point difference with the Slovaks and Portugal has already reached the final stage thanks to seven consecutive victories. The Netherlands have a game in hand to level the score with Greece, who play tomorrow. The Czechs continue to fight the Poles and Moldovans. But the Kazakhs are unlikely to be among the sensations. There were chances, Zainutdinov and the company won four victories. But Denmark’s defeats – yesterday they lost against the favorites they had beaten previously, Finland and Slovenia push Kazakhstan beyond the top three in the group. The club is militant, the Finns and Slovenians will visit, but the stubborn team has lost its winning momentum.

We also remind you that in March there will be a further qualifying playoff for Euro 2024, where the results of the Nations League count. The Welsh have a good chance of playing among the final four of the top flight. The Ukrainian national team could end up in the relegation of the second division, but for the Norwegians it is much more difficult to get there. To get through the back door, Haaland needs huge successes from other teams in the usual selection. But Kazakhstan and Georgia will almost certainly fight for the only ticket to their championship. Like Luxembourg, although Martins’ Spartak team does not lose hope of being among the sensations of the Euro 2024 selection.
