We know the first four qualified for Euro 2024. In addition to Germany, the organizing country, France punched its ticket by defeating the Netherlands (1-2) this Friday in Amsterdam. The Blues can no longer be joined in Group B, they who have a total of 18 points and who are ahead of Greece, who won in Ireland (0-2) this Friday, and the Netherlands (12 pts) . Greece – Netherlands, a shock which will be worth gold on Monday, on the eve of a friendly match in Scotland for the France team. The Dutch, however, have one game less on the clock than their future Greek hosts. With three points, Ireland can mathematically no longer qualify.
In Group J, Portugal also validated its qualification with a 3-2 victory over Slovakia in Porto. Parisian Gonçalo Ramos opened the scoring at the start of the match, before a double from a certain Cristiano Ronaldo, who was also celebrating his 200th cap with the Selecao. David Hancko and Stanislav Lobotka respectively brought the score to 1-2, then 2-3, in vain. Full success for the Portuguese, with seven victories in seven matches and a total of 21 points. Who says better ? In the same group, Bosnia-Herzegovina won in Liechtenstein (0-2), while Luxembourg, third, brought home a point from Iceland (1-1).
Last but not least, Belgium won the Group F clash in Austria (2-3), thanks to the first two international goals from the so-called Dodi Lukebakio and that of Romelu Lukaku. The two teams shared the lead with 13 points before the game and we knew that the winner, if there was one, would automatically qualify for the Euro. It is therefore done for the Red Devils, who led 3-0 before playing to scare themselves at the end of the match. Earlier in the day, Azerbaijan won in Estonia (0-2). In a friendly, Aston Villa’s in-form man Ollie Watkins gave England victory against Australia at Wembley.
