On October 10, the European competition for the World Cup qualifiers began again. On this match day, the Netherlands defeated Malta 4-0, Austria defeated San Marino 10-0, and Croatia tied with the Czech Republic 0-0. In other games, 1 team performed impressively. 4-0 victory! Carnival on a small island with a population of 54,000: Earning 9 points in 4 rounds of World Cup preliminaries, it is really exciting to enter the World Cup for the first time.

Croatia played away to the Czech Republic. The 40-year-old Modric once again started for the team and played the entire game. The 36-year-old Perisic also started. In this game, the Croatian team had the advantage, but missed three excellent opportunities, and the two sides ended up with a goalless draw. In another match in the same group, Montenegro, ranked 80th in the world, suffered a miserable away defeat against the Faroe Islands, ranked 136th in the world, with a 4-goal disadvantage.

The coach of the Montenegro team is former Juventus player Vucinic. The team captain is the central defender Savic who previously played for Atletico Madrid and joined Trabzonspor this summer. Montenegro’s No. 10 is Juventus’ Adzic, and the No. 9 forward is Atlanta’s Krstovic. The Montenegro starting 11 are worth 40.25 million euros. For the Faroe Islands, the starting 11 players are worth only 2.82 million euros in total, with defender Edmundsson worth the most at 550,000 euros.

It can be said that the lineups of the two teams are not at the same level. As a result, the Faroe Islands team not only won, but also achieved a big victory. With Fredriksberg's 2 shots and 2 passes, as well as Sørensen's brace, the Faroe Islands scored 2 goals in each half and won Montenegro.

The Faroe Islands have 3 wins and 1 loss in the past 4 rounds of World Cup qualifying. They double defeated Gibraltar, easily defeated Montenegro, and narrowly lost to Croatia by 1 goal. In the group standings, Croatia and the Czech Republic rank in the top two with 13 points each, the Faroe Islands are third with 9 points, Montenegro is fourth with 6 points, and Gibraltar is at the bottom with 0 points. Montenegro and Gibraltar in this group have both missed the World Cup. The first place in the group will go straight to the World Cup, and the second place will participate in the play-offs. The Faroe Islands will play the Czech Republic at home and against Croatia away from home in the last two rounds. The Faroe Islands still have the hope of reaching the World Cup for the first time.

The Faroe Islands is an overseas autonomous territory of Denmark. It is located between Norway and Iceland. It consists of 18 islands and has a beautiful environment. It has a population of only about 54,000 and an area of ​​1,399 square kilometers, which is only slightly larger than the area of ​​Hong Kong, my country. The previous Faroe Islands team did lack competitiveness. For example, in the 2018 World Cup preliminaries, Portugal won 5-1, 6-0 in two rounds. Cristiano Ronaldo faced the Faroe Islands with 3 goals and 1 assist in a single game. For the Faroe Islands, reaching the World Cup was originally an unattainable goal, but now they may actually create a miracle.
