Conclusion from Europe

On the last day of World Cup qualifiers, Europe is finishing leg one games with nine matches. Yesterday the first newest UEFA member made a history with its result and tonight we are awaiting the news of how the second debut team will perform. All games are starting at the same time.

- Andorra - Latvia. Everyone wants to make a good start at the beginning, but dreadful Andorra did not win a game for some time. More importantly their rivals are not that good also. Awful Latvian team back in the summer played mostly draws, so it will be an 'agony' to give at least one here and start this campaign on a positive note.
- Bosnia and Herzegovina - Estonia. By current play Estonia are similar like Andorra as are writing mainly losses. Yesterday we witnessed the highest victory for these qualifiers in the first week and Bosnia - Herzegovina could continue with that example tonight.
- Belarus - France. Mighty France travels to Belarus where it expects only victory. Belarus cannot be considered serious opponent for the visitors, but the only question will be with how many goals they will win.
- Bulgaria - Luxembourg. Luxembourg has never beaten Bulgaria and that 'curse' might be broken tonight. The only problem is that they are playing dreadful football and it is unknown from where goals will come from. Bulgaria is not the team who is giving many goals to their rivals so Luxembourg should 'relax' and  'breathe' a little with full strength.
- Cyprus - Belgium. Favorites Belgium is starting this campaign with a new goal: to qualify for the final. After the continental championship this summer Belgian football reached new and high standards. Cyprus do not look like a threat to them, they will fight back but the points will go to the other side.
- Faroe Islands - Hungary. Another pre-determined match. Hungarian football is on the rise, specially after this summer's EURO performance. But tonight it will not be easy to collect all points because Faroe Islands is a tricky opponent who, in the past, surprise some 'big' names in football. By now we know that Hungary is an experienced team and will come back home smiling.
- Gibraltar - Greece. Gibraltar is making history tonight as it will play its first ever official match in their history. But we cannot think they will do something better in here because are making consecutive losses and their rivals are very tough to beat. Lately, Greece is playing confident from match to match and it would be a real miracle if they slip in Faro-Louie.
- Sweden - Netherlands. The following game is not that attractive than this one, so it may be called derby of the night. We have to see a great game tonight, but currently the Dutch side is experiencing little problems with some friendlies lost and coach departure one week before the qualifiers. On the other hand Sweden also varies on the results so the only solution will be to no one win. 
- Switzerland - Portugal. New cycle for the Portuguese team after a jubilant summer. Switzerland is a tricky opponent and may surprise the European champions. Both can score goals, the hosts are little bit closer to take the match, but at the end no one will be happy after 90 minutes.
