A 10:0 win in the European World Cup preliminaries was half of its meaning lost in a 2:2 match - but this is indeed the most correct way to play in the European World Cup preliminaries.

The biggest impact of the expansion of the World Cup on the European World Cup preliminaries is that there are more groups. This also means that the strong teams are separated further and are less likely to get together; at the same time, there will also be many groups without any traditional strong teams. For example, group H.
The five teams in Group H are Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Romania, Cyprus, and San Marino. The strongest is only Austria. Austria once had a relatively strong period in the black and white era, but for most of the time, they were only a second- and third-rate player in Europe, and they have only risen again in recent years. But obviously, as the group leader, their strength and traffic cannot compare with strong teams such as Spain, England, and France. As for Bosnia and Herzegovina and Romania, they are even weaker. Not to mention the traditional European fish belly in Cyprus and San Marino. However, it was this group that achieved a rare big score in the seventh round of the world preliminaries. Austria 10:0 San Marino. In fact, this result is exactly the same as Norway's 11:1 win over Moldova, even the goal difference is the same. Moreover, the 10-goal gap is basically in line with the strength comparison between the two sides. This is just Austria's subjective choice. They could have played 3:0 or 4:0 and scored 3 points with less energy. But they chose to export aggressively. This kind of thinking and attitude is actually the same as that in Norway. Goal difference. It is basically certain that Austria wants a goal difference. Before this round, they and Bosnia and Herzegovina both had 12 points. Of course, they had one game less. But obviously, Bosnia and Herzegovina is their number one competitor for direct promotion rights. Even though Austria has the advantage and even won the away game against Bosnia and Herzegovina, to be on the safe side, every bad possibility must be minimized or even eliminated directly.
So, the goal difference is very crucial. In the event that Austria loses to Bosnia and Herzegovina at home, and the two teams end up with the same points, then the goal difference will become a data that directly changes destiny. You know, Bosnia and Herzegovina once defeated San Marino 6:0. Before this 10:0 match, Bosnia and Herzegovina had a dominant goal difference. However, at the same time as this 10:0 match, Bosnia and Herzegovina was unexpectedly tied 2:2 by Cyprus, and was 2 points ahead of Austria. In this way, Austria has another layer of insurance, so this 10:0 game seems unnecessary. But it has to be said that Austria’s aggressive operation of taking advantage of the fish belly is the correct way to play in the European World Cup preliminaries. In fact, not only Austria and Norway, but also Denmark's 6:0 Belarus, the same consideration. Denmark and Scotland have the same points, and the two teams tied in the first round. This group is extremely variable. Therefore, Denmark dare not not work on the goal difference. In fact, Austria’s real benchmark is Norway. Norway is already one position ahead of Italy, but they still have to be wary of Italy winning all behind, including defeating themselves at home. Moreover, Italy beat Estonia 5:0, which was already a reminder of Norway's demonstrations. As a result, an 11:1 match came into being. In Group H, Austria is Norway and Bosnia and Herzegovina is Italy. Accumulating goal difference now is equivalent to accumulating food. Don't wait until you need a goal difference, otherwise it will be embarrassing. Therefore, the weakest team in each group has become a key element in the promotion of this group. If you can't get enough goal difference from them, it's tantamount to suffering a loss. Next, there will be a huge score in the European World Cup preliminaries, everyone will wait and see. Focus on Malta, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Andorra, and Gibraltar.
