On September 8th Beijing time, the European qualifiers for the World Cup continued. Several matches concluded early this morning, including Belgium’s multi-goal 6-0 demolition of Kazakhstan, Germany’s 3-1 comfortable victory over Northern Ireland securing their first win, and Spain’s full-force 6-0 thrashing of Turkey. As a result, the latest standings have been updated: Germany is third, Spain leads, and Belgium remains unbeaten in four rounds, sitting second!

Belgium versus Kazakhstan. Belgium had just crushed minnows Liechtenstein 6-0 in the previous round. Facing Kazakhstan this time, they launched another heavy assault, firing 38 shots with 15 on target, overwhelming their opponent with relentless pressure and again producing a 6-0 rout. Belgium’s dominance in the qualifiers is undeniable; they handle weaker teams effortlessly, though it remains to be seen if they can deliver results in major tournaments!

Germany versus Northern Ireland. Germany suffered a 0-2 defeat to Slovakia in the previous round, starting their campaign poorly with dim prospects. This match against Northern Ireland saw Germany return to commanding form, scoring in the 7th minute. Northern Ireland equalized on a counterattack, but in the second half, Germany produced a dream three-minute spell, netting two goals to seal the game. They ultimately won 3-1, claiming their first victory and three points!

Spain versus Turkey. Spain had swept Bulgaria 3-0 in the opener. In this match against Turkey, Spain went into overdrive, delivering a highly efficient and straightforward performance. They dominated Belgium’s rivals, scoring six goals within 60 minutes and eventually winning 6-0. Had they not eased off later, the scoreline could have been even more lopsided. Merino scored a hat-trick, Pedri netted twice, and these two were Spain’s most dependable players. With this win, Spain secured back-to-back victories and firmly hold first place!
