Kosovo was the surprise of the day. They scored twice in the first half to win the match 2-0. Sweden dominated possession, while Kosovo made the most effective attacks.
Sweden never lose against Kosovo, there must be something happen with them.
Sweden players are mostly playing in England and German, yet they got beaten by unknown players who played in unknown leagues too.
Another key match was the 4-5 draw between Israel and Italy.
I don't remember Italy conceding so many goals recently.
The biggest factor, of course, was that both goals were own goals. Locatelli and Bastoni were a surprise 😂
This is very important match for both of them, since Italy won in this match, the chance they will qualify become high because they still have 4 match and 2 of them are against weak teams. While Israel, only have 3 match and only one match is weak team.
If Israel want to qualify, they need to win rest of the match and hoping Italy to lose one match, not to mention point margin do matters.
I’m very surprised with Sweden results, it’s quite unbelievable that Sweden lost to Kosovo who I don’t even know if they are a footballing nation, I don’t even know any of their players, but they still beat Sweden I must say kudos to them for beating Sweden it’s a deserved win, When I watch the Sweden team they have big players who plays in Europe for the big clubs so I don’t really know why they’re not doing very well in this World Cup qualifiers, if they continue this way they might end up not going to the World Cup. The way Sweden are playing they might end up not qualifying for the World Cup unless they improve.
Israel I must say played very well, they showed a real fight against the Italian, they are unlucky not to have gotten the win or a draw, and they deserved at least a point against Italy, but it’s football sometimes you offer everything and it would end up not going your way, and now they have to win their teaming games if they are to qualify for the World Cup, which I think it wouldn’t be easy, and it might as well be easy for them, so let see how there next game goes.
