Something happened in the minds of Gibraltar's players after their friendly defeat against Scotland in June last year. It was the 13th consecutive match that the team from the rock had lost, all without scoring a goal - 0:50 was the goal difference during that period.But, after that, Gibraltar went on an incredible seven-game unbeaten streak, albeit with only two wins - minimal ones against Andorra and San Marino.And just at the moment when the "renaissance", if you can call it that, of Gibraltar began, the Montenegrin "brave falcons" went on their Golgotha, which lasted seven matches. Seven defeats and only two goals scored, with 13 conceded, was Montenegro's record on the eve of the last match in the League of Nations.It was a match against Turkey, when it was clear that the "falcons" would have to move to Division C, but the Turks needed a victory to retain first place.Nikola Krstović dashed the Turks' hopes of going directly to Division A and sent them into the play-offs where they met Hungary (3:1 win in the first match).Gibraltar has never won a single point in World Cup qualifying. In the past two campaigns, they have lost all 20 matches by a goal difference of 7:90. "Team 54" suffered its greatest humiliation recently at the hands of France, which showed no mercy when they won 14:0, albeit in the European Championship qualifiers, which Gibraltar finished without scoring a goal.The signs of improvement that Gibraltar has shown recently will not bring them the burden of favorites in Nikšić.Montenegro then finished second in a group with England, Switzerland and Wales, which now seems like fiction, but with a little luck, the "falcons" could hope for second place in a group with two outsiders, the Czech Republic and (probably) France. I expect Gibraltar to fight hard and not to lose with more than two goals difference.

在去年6月与苏格兰队的友谊赛失利后，直布罗陀球员的心中发生了一些事情。这是来自岩石的球队连续第13场输掉比赛，都没有进球——0:50是这段时间的净胜球。但是，在那之后，直布罗陀取得了令人难以置信的七连胜不败，尽管只有两场胜利——对阵安道尔和圣马力诺的胜利很少。就在直布罗陀的“复兴”——如果你可以这样称呼它的话——开始的那一刻，黑山的“勇敢的猎鹰”开始了他们的各各他，持续了七场比赛。7场失利，只进2球，丢13球，这是黑山在国际联盟最后一场比赛前夕的记录。这是一场对阵土耳其的比赛，当时很明显，“猎鹰”将不得不进入C级，但土耳其人需要一场胜利才能保住第一名。尼古拉·克尔斯托维奇（Nikola krstovivic）粉碎了土耳其直接进入甲级联赛的希望，并将他们送入了附加赛，他们在第一场比赛中遇到了匈牙利队（3:1获胜）。直布罗陀在世界杯预选赛中从未获得过一分。在过去的两个赛季中，他们以7:90的净胜球输掉了所有的20场比赛。“54队”最近在法国队手中遭受了最大的羞辱，法国队毫不留情地以14:0取胜，尽管在欧洲杯预选赛中，直布罗陀一球未进。直布罗陀最近表现出的改善迹象不会给他们带来Nikšić偏袒的负担。黑山随后与英格兰、瑞士和威尔士分在小组第二，现在看来这似乎是虚构的，但如果运气好的话，“猎鹰”有望在与捷克共和国和（可能）法国这两个局外人的小组中获得第二名。我希望直布罗陀能努力拼搏，不要以两球以上的差距输掉比赛。
