After two rounds, nothing was overturned in Group I of the World Cup qualifiers, where Hungary, England and Poland invariably compete to advance. The Hungarians brought the mandatory on Sunday night and won 3-0 against San Marino, while the Poles also beat Andorra 3-0 in Warsaw. The English didn’t stumble either, as they were able to win 2-0 in Tirana. The Hungarian and Polish teams are now in the same group in this group.

The San Marino team is officially the weakest football team in the world, having only been able to win one match since its inception – against Liechteinstein. At the same time, teams traveling here and performing here can by no means expect easy play. So it was on Sunday night when Marco Rossi’s team performed in San Marino and won 3-0. Namely, so that the Hungarians missed an 11 during the match – if it goes in, we will overtake the Poles in terms of the number of goals scored, so the Hungarian and Polish national teams will have the same index in this group.
The federal captain of the Hungarian team changed 7 places compared to the match against the Poles (3-3). Dénes Dibusz started in the goal, and Attila Fiola could not play due to his exhibition. To know now that new changes are coming against Andorra, because Willi Orbán and Ralland Sallai will also have to travel back to their German club team. But it is also known that Wednesday’s match in Andorra (which will be played on artificial grass) will face a much tougher task than the qualifier in San Marino.
It seems commonplace to say that these victories should also be appreciated. Before we dwell on that, let’s ask all about the Spaniards who won by sweating blood in Georgia, where Dani Olmo scored the winning goal for the Spaniards in the 93rd minute. During the break, the Georgians led 1-0. It was possible to know in advance that similar ordeals against San Marino are not waiting, they cannot wait for Hungary, because there is a big difference between the abilities of the two teams. But it was also known that this is not the match where the current opponent – now Hungary – entertains the general public with a gala match.
It is no coincidence that Federal Captain Marco Rossi said that the omission of the second penalty of the Hungarian team was a key moment, because if it goes in, the Hungarians will make a point much earlier by the end of the meeting. Because of the 3-0 victory, no one should be ashamed that way, there are 3 points, no one is hurt, you can move on and head towards Andorra.
Newspapers in San Marino in its quick report they acknowledge the superiority of the Hungarian national team and the fact that nothing has called into question the success of Marco Rossi’s team. At most, the author of the article stammered a little at that the Scottish referee of the match blew the third penalty with an overly light whistle, calling the referee’s perception inflexible.
It is clear that the Hungarian national team is having a harder time playing against an opponent who does nothing but defend during the whole match. Ádám Szalai also needs to learn how to break up the resistance of such a team. Andorra will have a match like this again, with the difference that the Andorran team is better than San Marino. The 2017 World Cup qualifiers should not be in their heads when a Hungarian team picked up and lost to Andorra in a huge surprise in Andorra. This match needs to be completely erased from memory, while it is already conceivable that the team from the mini-state playing aggressive football will most certainly be throwing themselves into the fight with tremendous enthusiasm. The match between Poland and Andorra on Sunday night showed that the Lewandowski had only suffered against the Southern European team, and it was the decision that the Poles had a Lewandowski.

In any case, the Polish press is still not fainting at the performance led by the red-and-white team led by Paulo Sousa. Despite the victory, they lacked the dominance of the Poles, they wrote that against the English national team, all this could be little on Wednesday. Featuredif under the operation of former federal captain Jerzy Brzęczek, Poland would have presented such a game as that against Andorra, then a bucket of washcloth would be poured around the neck of the team. A BBC he wrote after the Albania-England match that the Albanians posed a much greater challenge to Harry Kane and his comrades than San Marino did. The English team has been unbeaten since playing 23 World Cup qualifiers, but it is highlighted by every single English newspaper that the real exam task is now coming when the Polish team will arrive in London. After a very long time – 500 days – Harry Kane scored again for the English national team.
According to on-site reports in Tirana, the Albanians played football culturally and well, and if Uzuni in Ferencváros does not miss the huge situation in the 12th minute, everything will turn out differently.
In Group I, in the 3rd round, the Hungarian national team will play in Andorra, the Polish team will play in London, while San Marino will host Albania at home. If the paper form is confirmed, the Hungarian national team can turn to the continuation of the World Cup qualifiers in the second place, as the next round will only take place on September 2nd in this series.

As for the further results of Sunday’s World Cup qualifiers, both the German and Spanish national teams had a very difficult time winning their match. The Germans are still unbeaten – they have never been knocked out abroad in a World Cup qualifier – they have now beaten the Romanians 1-0 in Bucharest.
