European qualification for the Qatar 2022 World Cup returns with a few goals in the 5th round of European qualifiers

Armenia suffered the full force of Germany's goal-scoring power

Last Sunday a new date of the European qualifiers for the Qatar 2022 World Cup was completed and with only four dates left to finish the group stage, some teams began to make their history, their lineage, their tradition and their soccer history count.

It is evident that the European qualifiers so far have shown an atypical face with teams well below their level (e.g. Germany and Spain) and other teams of the so-called surprises.

But the most curious thing is that there was no big result, no landslide, of those that by their own inertia must come.

Because the difference between the players of one team and another are sidereal (unlike the South American teams, for example, where there is a notorious parity).

Pogba has not yet been able to establish himself in the France national team as the great figure he was at the last World Cup.

For example, Germany defeated Liechtenstein by only 2-0 with the second goal shortly after the end of the match and the first goal shortly before the end of the first half seemed like an optical illusion considering the soccer laurels of both teams.

In this new date many things have changed. The so-called "big" teams have carried on their backs the weight of responsibility, the quality of their players and this has been reflected in the scores.

The big ones score, the small ones suffer.

Spain had no problems in beating a weak Andorra.

In the second half of this fifth matchday, Germany showed all its power by beating a weak Armenia 6-0 (after the first half they were already 4-0 up) and Spain did the same with Georgia 4-0 (3-0 at the end of the first half).

With the greatest respect for the second or third level national teams, Germany and Spain are world powers and until now they have not shown it.

The same can be said of England and their 4-0 thrashing of Andorra, or Poland's 7-1 thrashing of San Marino, the biggest defeat at this stage of the European qualifiers.

These results have not only served as a confidence booster but have repositioned these countries at the top of the standings in their respective groups.

Spain leads Group B, England leads Group I, and Poland, with its drubbing, remains behind them. Germany, on the other hand, for the first time, is at the top of Group J.

Return to the origins.

Robert Lewandoski contributed two goals to Poland's biggest European qualifying win over San Marino.

Little by little, the big teams are settling in so that they will not have any problems in the final phase of group qualification. The only one to be left behind is still the Netherlands, which cannot overcome the surprise of these qualifiers, Turkey. Despite having Memphis Depay, the new star of Barcelona post-Messi.

Perhaps a little scare was necessary to bring back the "old times" when great teams formed by great players played, won, scored and enjoyed.

Tactical schemes have always existed, but they were surpassed by the quality of the players.

From time to time going back to the origins is not a bad idea. Technicians and players seem to have understood this.

The European qualifiers are grateful for the spectacle as tickets to the Qatar 2022 World Cup are being snapped up.
