Rom is looking up.
Seems so! A win against Netherlands and now Norway, both high scoring games. Incredible start for Turkey!
What happened to Haaland, the goal scoring machine? Not even one goal!
Frenkie de Jong: “Play like this and we won’t reach World Cup”
“I’m not so afraid that it will happen, because generally, this is just not our normal level. We really know what we did wrong, we also realise it. We discussed it well. Now we just move on.”
Romelu Lukaku has now scored as many international goals as David Villa (59).
Rom keeps climbing the all-time list and he’s not even 28 years old.
Kevin De Bruyne has now assisted 20 goals in all competitions this season for club and country (16 for Man City and 4 for Belgium). Machine.
Luxembourg’s 1-0 victory against the Republic of Ireland is their first away qualifying win since September 2008, and only their fourth on the road in their entire history (Euros and World Cup).
Gareth Southgate’s men have been pitted against some tough oppositions in the group, including Hungary, Poland and Albania, who welcome the Three Lions on their home turf this weekend. It is going to be a valuable game for both the teams, with England, in particular, looking to take advantage of Poland’s draw with Hungary.
As for Albania, they secured a narrow 1-0 win over minnows Andorra this midweek, meaning they are now level on points with England at the top. And while that is not expected to last long, the hosts will be well aware of the fact that salvaging at least a point against the European giants could put them in a great position ahead of their third game against San Marino, a game they are expected to win.
England, too, have a tough game against Poland coming up, so securing all three points in this fixture will be critical.
