A horrible, ridiculous penalty call against Sweden. Spanish bias from referees as always.

They also had a good goal called back so I’m not sure how you can make that claim.

Penalty call was arguable it that has nothing to do with the result of the game. Spain played 2, maybe 3 tiers above Sweden’s head in this one.

The first call was very questionable too to be honest

That’s kind of the point. Poor of is just that, but biased officiating would see one team, not both being the victim of bad calls.

The penalty was 100% clear, I don't know how many times we have to have this same conversation. The referees have decided that is now a penalty and they have uniformly applied it in all competitions. People who don't like it have to get over it.

Fair enough, just seems like a weird coincidence that Spain always gets questionable calls in their favour in basically every game

Massive win for Kosovo in Bulgaria, they were losing 2:1 in the second half but came from behind and scored the winner in the final minute. 2nd place will likely come down to the Czechs and them, however Kosovo still play England twice

Spain and Poland remain perfect, Poland yet to concede and they should qualify without too many problems but 2nd place in that group will be up for grabs. Back to back wins for Austria put their campaign back on track while Israel were hammered in Poland

Kosovo are in a pretty good spot at the moment and if they fail to qualify out of this section, they still have a shot at the playoff via the Nations League - League D along with Georgia, N. Macedonia and Belarus.

Dolberg x2
Eriksen
Yussuf Poulsen
Braithwaite

On paper it’s Kosovo and Georgia who are favorites in that. Kosovo have the best attack of those teams by far a but they are poor defensively.

Poland continue their tradition of waltzing through qualifying. They do it better than most.

Yeah he's getting a lot of het, but they were 11 on the pitch. 10 of them sucked. I don't understand this.
It's really the same as Pogba at United.
Just because you're the star of the team doesn't mean you should get more heat if the entire team sucks.
Ya it’s unfair, but the media will always take that narrative and run with it. Particularly unfair to Mbappe in this case considering that despite his accomplishments and status, he still hasn’t turned 21 years of age and there should’ve been been more leadership/responsibility shown from one of the more veteran players on the team to get them to start playing better.
