The latest situation of the European World Cup preliminaries: 3 teams entered the World Cup! 3 teams qualified, Portugal lost a good game

On November 15, in the European World Cup qualifiers, the Croatian team led by Modric refused to be upset. In the home game against the Faroe Islands, Croatia reversed their opponent 3-1 after conceding a goal first. With this victory, Croatia secured a ticket to the World Cup one round ahead of schedule. The latest situation of the European World Cup preliminaries: 3 teams enter the World Cup! The three teams qualified with a tie, and Portugal lost a good game.

The Faroe Islands team, ranked 127th in the world, shed the label of "European fish belly" and performed amazingly in this World Cup qualifying match. They narrowly lost to Croatia 0-1, defeated Gibraltar 1-0, beat Montenegro 4-0, and defeated the Czech Republic 2-1. They still have a chance to finish second in the group before the game against Croatia. The Faroe Islands scored the first goal in the 16th minute when Turi scored to put Croatia behind. In the 23rd minute, Gvadiol's goal helped Croatia equalize the score.

In the second half, Moussa and Vlasic scored successively. Croatia accepted the victory and became the third European team to qualify for the World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico after England and France. The Faroe Islands were eliminated. In the past two World Cups, Croatia has finished second and third once. The 40-year-old Modric will once again challenge for the World Cup championship.

The situation in the European World Cup preliminaries is now becoming increasingly clear. The German team in Group A quickly adjusted after losing 0-2 to Slovakia in the first round and completed 4 consecutive victories. It currently ranks first in the group with 12 points. Slovakia has the same 12 points, which is 3 goal differences less than Germany and ranks second. The same points in the European World Cup preliminaries will depend on the goal difference first. Therefore, as long as the German team draws with Slovakia in the final round, they can go directly to the World Cup as the first in the group.

The Dutch team in Group G achieved a key draw. They conceded the first goal against Poland in the away game. Depay's goal helped the Dutch team score 1-1. The Netherlands currently leads the group with 17 points, and Poland is second with 14 points. As long as the Netherlands draws with Lithuania in the last round, they can directly qualify. Norway, who advanced in Group I after a tie, ranked first in the group with 3 points more than Italy, and their final game was away to Italy. The qualifying condition for the Azzurri is 9-0, so even if Norway loses by a big score, it is very likely to advance. Of course, a draw is more secure.

Portugal, which started the World Cup preliminaries with three consecutive wins, wasted a good qualifying situation. In the last two games, it failed to win, was tied 2-2 by Hungary, and suffered an upset loss to Ireland 0-2. In these two games, Portugal actually won one game to qualify. In Group F, Portugal currently ranks first with 10 points, Hungary has 8 points, and Ireland has 7 points. The goal difference is 5, 2, and 1 respectively. All three teams have a chance to win the group title. Captain Cristiano Ronaldo is suspended in the final round. Portugal can only secure World Cup qualification if they win against Armenia. If they fail to win, they may fall into the play-offs.
