Author's Opinion
This summer will be historic for North Macedonia as they will be heading to a major tournament for the first time since gaining independence from Yugoslavia. Former, Lazio, Inter Milan and Napoli forward Goran Pandev fittingly scored the goal that sealed qualification to Euro 2021 and the verteran and all time top goalscorer will be hoping his team can do the nation proud.
North Macedonia were always going to face a tricky group at the tournament and I actually think they have been dealt one of the more generous hands in Group C. I think they will put up a good fight against Austria and Ukraine, however I ultimately think the group stage is as far as they can go. A remarkable victory against Germany in March gives hope to those wanting an upset from a smaller nation but with the Netherlands also in Group C it’s hard to see them progressing.
