It makes sense the picture was for this again pretty know night of the Portuguese in qualifying for the European championship in 2020. When the score was 0:1 Cristiano Ronaldo continued to Sprint, stopped, and trotted. A few seconds later, the physiotherapists were already on the field, Ronaldo remained contorted with pain face sitting. It went no further, before it had even really begun. While his team-mates managed, many of them European Champions in 2016, the balance against the powerful Serbs, who had already annoyed the German team in Wolfsburg. But it was the second draw in the second qualifying game. Against the Ukraine it had served only to a 0:0. In two Games, the Portuguese did not go beyond approaches. Like Ronaldo in his fatal Sprint.
And now Portugal is in the Mission title defense after the second round under pressure. In the home games against two feasible opponents six points were planned. So it is after two eight-game days temporary rank three, would not be enough for direct qualification.
France, England and Belgium all scores
Also sobering is the Start for the Vice-champion of Croatia was. To trouble full 2:1 against the stark outsiders Azerbaijan 1:2 against Hungary followed on Sunday. Also the Croats, who were competing in the best line-up with Luka Modric, Ivan Rakitic and Ivan Perisic, as well as the Bundesliga professionals Ante Rebic and Ondrej Kramaric, after two Games only on rank three.
Quite different because it looks at the three other championship semi-finalists. For the EM-Quali seems to be a casual thing. Champion of France won after the 4:1 in Moldova to kick-off on Monday evening, 4:0 against Iceland, England had the 5:0 against Czech Republic in a 5:1 in Montenegro to follow. And Belgium remained at 3:1 against Russia and 2:0 in Cyprus, also harmless. Six points have been otherwise), nor Turkey (after Wins against Albania and Moldova), Northern Ireland, from the German group (after Victories against Estonia and white Russia), and Poland (after the Victories against Austria and Latvia.
