In the aftermath ofthe qualification of the French team for the 2026 World Cupother important nations were on stage this Friday evening. We were expecting Germany and the Netherlands in particular, but these European leaders will still have to wait.
Opposed to Luxembourg, Julian Nalgesmann’s team signed a sluggish victory which did not allow it to punch its ticket (2-0). Germany remains tied on points with Slovakia, whom it will face on Monday in a crucial match. The Netherlands, for their part, already have one foot and four toes in America after their draw in Poland (1-1).
Croatia joins the board
The great operation of this Friday evening is mainly to the credit of Croatia. By taming the Faroe Islands, the checkered selection ensured their qualification for the World Cup. At the age of 40, Luka Modric will light up a World Cup one last time, after having made the history of the competition in 2018 and 2022 (final and fourth place).
