11:58pm, 8 June 2025Football

On this match day, the World Cup European qualifiers and multiple warm-up matches were staged one after another. The three traditional tycoons played a triumphant song together, England defeated Andorra, the Netherlands defeated Finland, and Denmark also won by one goal in the warm-up match against Northern Ireland.

Andorra 0-1 England

In the first phase of the European qualifiers in the World Cup, England, Albania, Latvia, Serbia and Andorra are in Group K, the Three Lions, with a total net worth of 1.4 billion euros, is undoubtedly the strongest. They also maintained a total victory in the first two rounds of the qualifiers, and ranked first in the group. In the third round of the qualifiers, England encountered Andorra, which was at the bottom of all the groups in the first two rounds. The strength gap between the two sides was obvious. In the past 6 direct dialogues, England won all wins in zero marks, and a total of Andorra scored 25 goals. This is also the reason why fans before the game believed that the Three Lions could win a big victory.

However, in this game, England's performance disappointed the fans. With an absolute advantage in the whole game and a long siege of Andorra, relying on Kane's only goal scored, it defeated Andorra 1-0, far from meeting the outside world's expectations. However, head coach Tuchel made history and became the first head coach in the history of the Three Lions team to win all the first three games and not lose a goal.

Finland 0-2The Netherlands

In the last international competition window, the uncrowned king of the Netherlands fought two rounds with Spain in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Nations League, and lost his opponent to the semi-finals. This game with Finland was also their first appearance in the qualifiers of this World Cup. The two teams had faced each other head-on battles four times before, and the Netherlands maintained a complete victory. Although the strength of the uncrowned king of the country has dropped significantly compared with its peak period, their total net worth still reaches 723 million euros, far exceeding Finland's 43.1 million euros. As long as it performs at a normal level, it is not difficult for the Netherlands to triumphant away.

Facing Finland, whose strength is far inferior to that of himself, the Uncrowned King collapsed his opponent at the beginning. Depp scored for the team in the 6th minute, and Dumfries expanded his lead in the 23rd minute. Although the Netherlands wasted a lot of good goals in the next nearly 70 minutes, they did not give Finland any chance to defend. They defeated their opponent 2-0 as they wished and won their first victory in this World Cup qualifier.

Denmark 2-1 Northern Ireland

Denmark, which did not have a World Cup qualifier on this match day, played a warm-up match with Northern Ireland. The last time the two teams met was in the 23-year European Cup. At that time, Northern Ireland knocked Denmark down 2-0. In order to be able to take revenge, Denmark also played all the main players in this game. Hoylen, Isaxon and Eriksen started together.

In this game, Denmark completely suppressed Northern Ireland on both ends of offense and defense. The ball possession rate reached 73%, creating 17 shots, 7 of which hit the target, while Northern Ireland only completed 2 attacks, and all missed the target. However, the passive Northern Ireland relied on the own gift package of Manchester United striker Hoylen in the 6th minute of the game to take the lead 1-0. However, Denmark, which had been attacking wildly, relied on Isaxon's goal before the end of the half, brought both sides back to the same starting line. In the second half, Eriksen scored a winning goal, helping Denmark complete revenge 2-1.
