Why can't this match be draw? although I support Spain but I want to say from my experience that this match is more likely to be draw. Because both teams are almost equally strong . i am waiting for tomorrow and curious to see what actually happens in this game
In Nations League you can expect any random result.. Best example for today is Norway vs Slovenia.
Switzerland is failing in this league while Spain is doing good, that's why most people support it. Besides odds are way in favour of Spain around 1.5 vs 6 for Switzerland.
The Nations League results are too inconsistent and I think I know why it is like that. It is because the League itself for this year is also inconsistent. They play in and they play out, and it happening in the year of the world Cup. Since it is world Cup season, some good teams who can do well in the world Cup are not taking the league so seriously while some who who will not do well in world Cup or who didn't qualify are taking it serious.
Well, I think that this is a way to have all the football fans waiting there, but it is as you say, the potential they have is not really shown, if they watch the games there are many new players who had not been seen before, for me this is a special opportunity to put those players that the tenciso have in their sights and see how they do with high-level games, but of course this does not guarantee anything, that is why I think that Your comments go, but even so, you can enjoy time with the stars that put them to play for a few minutes, but at least they see each other, and this is of great help to the technicians.
Firstly, this is an assumption that we cannot measure in any way, so it remains only to exchange opinions. And opinions remain only opinions, since there are no devices that accurately measure motivation and, in the end, tell who was right.
Secondly, I choose Italy because in my opinion "not winning something for a long time" is not a tragedy, but a normal state of affairs that the team is trying to overcome. But the situation that happened with Italy is a real disaster that is not the norm and thus awakens motivation.
I'm also sorry for Italy and it's really a huge shame that such a good national team, the current European champion, won't play at the World Cup, and they didn't play at the last World Cup either.
I really don't understand what happened to them in the world cup qualifiers? Overconfidence, lack of luck, insufficient preparation for qualifications etc?
Italy is a very good and experienced national team and they are always one of the favorites in every competition, but I would still give the host, the Netherlands, the small advantage in this competition.
On the other hand, I believe that my Croatia could surprise again and win this competition
Why not? If Portugal could win the League of Nations, why shouldn't Croatia?
As for Italy, this failure can be explained by separates results, but given the fact that this is the second time in a row, this (taking into account the status of Italy) is more like a curse
Paradox - two failures in the qualifications for the World Cup and between them a triumph in the European Championship.
Well to tell the truth they are right, for me Italy is a country that has given us a lot in terms of football, many of us have experienced the emotions that this team always brings and awakens, I also admire their technique a lot even though they are very focused on what defensively, and for now I also think that Croatia has it all, we can't forget that they are under the captaincy of one of the best in the world and he is a player who is used to winning and he is Luka Modric, for me he is one of the best players that exist at the moment and it is as many have stated, Croatia is a team that can cause a surprise in the World Cup, it can reach the final, I would really like to see a European final even though I am South American, it is difficult to see that a Brazil not going to a final, but a final between Croatia and Portugal would be great.
That's indeed a bit surprising that you as a South American would like to see Croatia against Portugal
If you ask the average soccer fan in Europe, it is often about Spain, England, France, Germany, but also Argentina and Brazil of course!
Argentina would be fun to watch once more. While saying this, it comes to my mind that a great match for the final would be Argentina against Portugal! For a very last time Messi vs. Ronaldo in the biggest game soccer has to offer. I honestly think that would be amazingly exciting for many people around the world.
Then again there are of course many other potential matches that would be a lot of fun to watch. France in a final is worth it any time. But a surprise candidate would also be fun.
What happens is that I really like the technique of the Croatians, how they play is something that very few see that they have a lot of magic, don't you remember Davor Suker? wow he was one of the best and for me his way of playing marked a lot, yes I would like to see that final, and well the final that you say is epic, an Argentina of a Messi who has failed many times to win everything, to a CR7 that he is really devastated by his bad moment and that he shows that in football, the majority have no humanity, the Man United coach disrespects him, the clubs for which he could enter told him no, then if he reaches a final would be showing them that they were always wrong and that they stopped winning many things by saying no at the most sensitive moment of their lives.
Italy has nothing to play football for for the time being, as they are not allowed to participate in the World Cup. They could put everything on the Nations League, but how important do they think that prize there? They are the reigning European champions, so they may not care much about the Nations league title. I think other countries think the same way. In addition, the players have then had a World Cup, and also a tough competition (for 95% of the players of these teams), so they don't feel like it at all. They actually had vacation anyway instead of playing a few more games. Younger players are more ambitious, for them every prize counts more likely. I think Italy is the best team, but Croatia reached the final of the World Cup in 2018.
Well, I think that what Italy has lacked is more luck, there are two World Cups in a row that don't go, and something has to be done, Italian football lacks something and they have to do something to correct it, otherwise we won't see them for the next World Cup neither, and that is something very serious for this team, particularly, Italy is the team that I have always gone to the World Cup and I did not want them to see their faces for qualification with Portugal, fortunately it was not like that, but I think it is not like that either , Italy should always be considered, and if, like you think for me, it is the best team, I think the Nations League is more of a preparation match for the World Cup.
Thank you for the kind words about my national team.
Croatia already played in the final at the last World Cup 2018 in Russia and unfortunately lost in the final to France. We were also third in the world in 1998, so we are already used to the good performances of our national team at the biggest competitions.
Croatia also played well in the League of Nations this year, beating France and Denmark away from home and winning first place in the group.
For a long time, Croatia is not only Modric, but also Kovacic from Chelsea, Brozovic from Inter, Stanisic from Bayern, Perisic from Tottenham etc.
We had a short crisis after the World Cup in Russia 2018, but again we have a very good team and we are ready for great results
Portugal in final? Why not?
Croatia has a great team, especially with Modric in it. You have every right to be proud of your national team.
They have a great coach along with a well-balanced team that has strength, both speed and power, defense ability, and good goalkeeper. They played very well in the last World Cup and if they can play again in the same way, I think Croatia will be a strong team to look out for at the World Cup in Qatar, regardless of the fact that some of their players are aging and some young players are still inexperienced in international tournaments. But still, their team is filled with players who play for some of the best clubs in Europe, which makes them a dangerous opponent for any team that they meet on the field. I think Croatia can definitely make it to the quarterfinals and maybe even beyond that!
Thanks, I agree with you!
In fact, I think that Croatia today is a very good combination of experience and youth.
On the one hand, older and experienced players like Modric, Brozovic, Kovacic, Perisic, and on the other, young and talented players like Orsic, Guardiol, Sosa, Stanisic, Livaja...
I think we have a very well balanced team, strong in all positions in the team and I think we can expect great results again at the World Cup.
Final again? Why not?
Well, I'm a big fan of good football, and I think that Croatia has a great team, I really like the way they do it, and also small details like their uniform, I really like the colors they have, Croatia is a very quiet team, and those teams that are of that style can give big surprises, I only remember how Davor Suker played, an experienced player, veteran and who led Croatia to win many things, a 3rd place is not bad at all, the way things are going, Croatia could easily reach the final, my country has never been to a World Cup, but I imagine that when they listen to the Croatian national anthem the emotion must be unique, I think that if one day my country goes to the World Cup and I hear the anthem, I would cry without doubt, for me Croatia will go very far and be careful, because they can reach the final and win everything.
Thank you for your very emotional and nice words about my national team.
As you probably know, Croatia is a very young country, we also had a war, which is why our national pride is even bigger and stronger.
We have a strong team again, which showed its strength and quality in the matches against France and Denmark in the League of Nations, and I believe that with a bit of luck we can again achieve a very good result at the World Cup in Qatar.
Final again? Why not?
In fact I have been watching many videos of the Croatian national team, and compared to some national teams like Germany, France, England, among other national teams that are the most favorite, I have realized that the Croatian national team is the best stop here, also as I said before, for me one of the best players in the world is MODRIC, I remember when he won the golden ball, at that time many did not like it, because he said that he did not deserve it, that he did not do much to win it, but if right now we start to see the way Modric plays at Real Madrid and it is so that he gives a lecture to many, now commanding the selection in the world championship, I like the idea that they can win the world championship.
