England in World Cup, Spain still no, Portugal mocked

England already in the 2026 World Cup, Spain still not. Neither is Portugal, which on a night marked by Cristiano Ronaldo&#8217s umpteenth personal record suffers an atrocious mockery in Lisbon by conceding in the dying minutes to Hungary&#8217s equalizer. In this way, the arithmetic still does not reward the Lusitanians.

Although favored to qualify for the upcoming World Cup, in fact, Portugal is still reachable the top of Group F of the European qualifiers. All this on the night when, by scoring two goals at the José Alvalade Stadium, Cristiano Ronaldo became the most prolific scorer in the history of World Cup qualifiers. Previously that record belonged to Carlos Ruiz, of Guatemala.

No problem instead for England, which makes five in Latvia. Great protagonist is once again Harry Kane: a double for him as well, with the two goals coming within five minutes. Spain also avalanches, overwhelming Bulgaria with a roundabout 4-0. Turkey’s equally convincing victory over Georgia (4-1), however, forces the Iberians to still wait for arithmetic qualification.
