He had appeptite and showed some good touches, while he also missed a couple of good chances to score.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ingi Ingason<\/strong> played the full 90 minutes for <strong>Iceland,<\/strong> however they did not start their road to the <strong>World Cup<\/strong> in <strong>Qatar <\/strong>in the way they would have liked. The <strong>Icelanders<\/strong> lost 3-0 against <strong>Germany<\/strong> as well as <strong>Armenia <\/strong>via a 2-0 scoreline, managing to win only against <strong>Liechtenstein<\/strong>, in three away matches which means they have lost some vital ground in the battle to qualify.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Karol Swiderski <\/strong>made his debut for <strong>Poland<\/strong>. The <strong>PAOK<\/strong> forward did not play in the first game, a 3-3 draw against <strong>Hungary, <\/strong>but in the home match against <strong>Andorra <\/strong>he meeded just a few minutes to score his first goal. In the final game against <b>England <\/b>at <b>Wembley, <\/b>coach <strong>Paulo Sousa<\/strong> gave <strong>Swiderski<\/strong> a starting berth and he played 45 minutes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael Krmencik&#8217;s<\/strong> return to the <strong>Czech Republic<\/strong> fold did not bring a goal for the PAOK man, but he certainly had a positive impact. He watched from the bench as the <strong>Czechs<\/strong> beat <strong>Estonia<\/strong> 6-2, and then started the 1-1 draw with <strong>Belgium<\/strong>, in a match which saw him hit the post and produce a solid overall performance. In the last match away against <strong>Wales,<\/strong> he came off the bench in the 53rd minute, but could not prevent his country from losting 1-0.<\/p>\n<p>The <b>Serbian <\/b>national team made an exceptional start to their qualifying campaign, collecting seven points and moving joint-top of the group alongside <strong>Portugal. <\/strong>The <strong>Serbs<\/strong> defeated <strong>Ireland <\/strong>3-2, recorded a 2-2 draw with <strong>Portugal,<\/strong> and also beat <strong>Azerbaijan<\/strong> 2-1 awau from hom with <strong>Andrija Zivkovic<\/strong> coming off the bench in the last game in the 64th minute.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rahman Baba<\/strong> returned to the <strong>Ghana<\/strong> national team also in impressive fashion. The <strong>PAOK<\/strong> defender played in central defence in the first game against <b>South Africa <\/b>(1-1), while in the 3-1 win over <strong>Sao Tome<\/strong> he found the net playing in his usual position at left-back.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Greece<\/strong> <strong>Under-21<\/strong> team began their <strong>European<\/strong> <strong>Championship<\/strong> qualifying campaign with a goalless draw against <strong>Cyprus<\/strong> at <strong>&#8216;Leoforos&#8217; <\/strong>in <strong>Athens. <\/strong><strong>Michailidis<\/strong>, <b>Lyratzis <\/b>and <strong>Tsingaras<\/strong> all started the match, while <strong>Koutsias<\/strong> came off the bench in the 64th minute.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Debuts, returns and goal for the Double-headed Eagle&#8217;s national team players in the March internationals.
