RESULTS FROM THE 2024 EURO QUALIFIERS
Italy dropped points after a ‘1-1’ draw with North Macedonia, but we are not sure if that counts as an upset given that North Macedonia knocked Italy out of their 2022 World Cup qualifiers, and England was held to a 1-all draw by Ukraine. There were really no upsetting or shocking results.
Spain had a good run, winning 7-1 against Georgia and then 6-0 against Cyprus. Portugal picked up their biggest win on record by thrashing Luxembourg 9-0.
