The first stage of the World Cup European qualifying group stage begins with competition, each with its own ups and downs. The German team won a big victory at home, sweeping Luxembourg 4-0. The German team played very smoothly in this game and took the lead in the 12th minute with Raum's direct free kick. Kimmich then scored a penalty kick to expand the score. Luxembourg was also sent off one person to make matters worse. Gnabry scored in the second half to expand the score. Kimmich then scored another goal to complete his brace. The German team won the game easily, with 2 wins and 1 loss in the three group matches, and scored 6 points, which is the same as Northern Ireland and Slovakia.

The French team also won a great victory at home, sweeping Azerbaijan 3-0. Mbappe broke the deadlock in half-time stoppage time. Mbappe then assisted Rabiot to score a header to expand the score. Thauvin scored at the last moment to kill the game. Azerbaijan had no ability to resist, with 1 shot on target and 0 shots on target. The French team won 3 consecutive victories in the group stage and ranked first in the group with 9 points, 5 points ahead of the second-placed Ukraine. The qualifying situation is excellent.

Belgium failed at home and was once again tied with North Macedonia. Belgium had an absolute advantage in this game, with a ball possession rate of nearly 80% and 25 shots in the game, 22 more than North Macedonia. However, they were unable to score and had to accept a 0-0 ending. The first round match between the two sides ended in 1-1, and this time it ended in 0-0! North Macedonia, a team with a total value of only 37.1 million euros, has given Belgium quite a headache. In this group, North Macedonia ranks first with 12 points and Belgium ranks second with 11 points.

Sweden fell at home and lost to Switzerland 0-2. Xhaka relied on a penalty kick opportunity to help Switzerland take the lead, and Manzambi scored at the last moment to expand the score. Although Sweden has high-priced forwards such as Isaac and Djekeresh, they just can't score. Sweden's performance in this group stage was really bad. They had no wins in 3 games and only scored 1 point. They were ranked at the bottom. It was really a shame. Slovakia suffered an upset on the road, losing 0-2 to Northern Ireland, ranked 72nd in the world. Hrosovsky and Hume each scored a goal to help Northern Ireland score all 3 points. Kosovo and Slovenia played a boring score of 0-0, with a total of 16 shots from both sides without scoring.
