Omg, what a bad day yesterday
tnx to Macedonia and France on their wins, I had to put much more on that parlay..., I'm still trying to find an odd with a great potential today
Germany to win combined with Slovenia to win?
What do you think?

The games will be played without crowds and the most determining factor when National teams are playing for me is the supporting of home fans.If the stadiums will be empty there will be no real emotion and maybe the players will not feel that motivated.I don’t expect a lot of beautiful games from this league.
I agree. The games would be dull compare to the earlier games held at the stadiums and gymnasiums back when pandemic isn’t present.
There would be minimal to no audience because of safety precautions. I think the audience support and ambiance contribute a lot when it comes to the player’s performance, hence would make it a factor for winning or losing their game.
It matters to a player when you feel someone on the audience is cheering for you to bring home the bacon. On the other hand, i guess the players were well-aware about the situation and did their best to train to be able to win. There is no guarantee of winning just because someone is rooting for you. BUT it does help the players feel more motivated, inspired and dedicated. Determination to win whether there are audience or none is needed especially with what we’re facing right now.
Nonetheless, I’m hoping for the best with this upcoming league.
Such a high victory of Portugal is only the result of their great desire and motivation to win that match, and on the other hand almost complete lack of motivation on the other hand to prevent it. The heavier defeat was avoided due to the very good reactions of the goalkeeper Livakovic and the whole series of misses by the Portuguese in the first half - and it should not be overlooked that CR was sitting in the stands.
As for Modric and Rakitic, both of them are, as far as I know, completely healthy and ready to play - but the fact that they can choose which games to play and which not, is at least unfair to the country for which they play for and to their teammates. It would be fairer to say, as after the 2018 World Cup, that the League of Nations is not a priority for Croatia, so let only those players who invite themselves to the national team play.
If this attitude is repeated on Tuesday, France will have only easier training and a very nice goal difference after the game.

Wow, we (Croatia) really got hammered yesterday. It was horrible to watch, the quality of the players we have now but are getting old and the new ones coming in is huge.
I know replacing Modrić and Rakitić is not possible, but it's not just these 2. It's all over the pitch, from defense to the front. We're full of mediocre players and will soon be left with no game changers at all.
Or let me rephrase that, we'll have plenty of game-changers, but for the other team. Jedvaj, I'm looking at you.

To be honest, ever since the 2018 World Cup in Russia we haven't played a real, great game and we're struggling all the time.
Whether the problem is in the years of the main players, the shift of the generation, the lack of motive, I do not really know but we have not seen the "right" Croatia for a long time.
I thought after that disaster and the big defeat against Spain we wouldn't see anything like that again but I was wrong.
It seems we need to prepare again for years of waiting for new big results and a new big team.

At least now that we have this useless league the nations are grouped by their strength and you can usually find at least one good game per day
Yeah true. Today Germany vs Switzerland is the best game although I suppose most people think that Germany will win.
There is also Hungary vs Russia and Spain vs Ukraine which are quite interesting and in which the final results may be less predictable imo

Germany @1.85 looks like top pick at first glance, will wait for line ups as usual before placing high stake bets.
It surely does and I was about to write the same, but you were faster. I doubt the Germans will mess up two matches in a row. Away in Switzerland without fans at the venue is a perfect opportunity to get a win.Everyone is fit according to the manager of Germany. They will make a change in goal though. Bernd Leno starts the match. Löw said that the team and players who played against Spain are tired and haven't trained that hard in recent days. Mostly regeneration work. I still predict a win by Germany here.
I am thinking of combining Germany with a 1X on Bosnia tomorrow vs Poland. I like the odds, and Poland without Lewandowski isn't the same team. It's going to be a high-risk bet though since Pjanic is also unavailable for the home team.
I guess there is a high chance Belgium will finish as the leader in the group after beating Denmark 2-0 easily yesterday, as England are struggling to score goals against Iceland, if Iceland did not missed the penalty kick in the final minutes of the match, Iceland could have equalize the scoreline and force a draw at the final whistle since England was able to convert a penalty kick awarded to them earlier into a goal.
It will be a tough day for Switzerland today as they will be playing against Germany, even though Switzerland are usually very good in their defense, but I do not think that will be enough to stop Germany for claiming 3 points from them today.

Just watching Iceland vs England & it’s 0-0 at 64 minutes. This is possibly the worst England team I’ve ever seen. Foden, Ward-Prowse, Eric Dier, Declan Rice? They’re like a Championship team.
I can't watch it yesterday due to my internet problems.
I just watch the highlight a few minutes ago. even the highlight is that boring. I’m glad I didn’t watch the full match.
New day today and new chance to take some money from the bookies. Germany @1.85 looks like top pick at first glance, will wait for line ups as usual before placing high stake bets.
I'll follow you Trofo, I got @1.9. I've just placed a small bet on it
lol'd, they are desperate for money that's all.
I think you are right, they will play more games possible to get more money possible from the marketing, the fact is I hate nationals games. I don't know why but I think is not the same sport.
Portugal gave us a nice football lesson yesterday, really did not expect that all 4 of the big boys will win (Portugal, Belgium, Spain, England). At least my Belgium ticket passed so I ended the day without losses. New day today and new chance to take some money from the bookies. Germany @1.85 looks like top pick at first glance, will wait for line ups as usual before placing high stake bets.

Today in the UEFA Nations League, Manchester united players dominated the headlines in a very boring and frustrating friendlies that is rewarded with a trophy lol. With Bruno having a man of the match performance for Portugal, While Martial comes on to win the Penalty against Lindelof in the match between Sweden and France which Griezmann blazed over the bar. Greenwood also comes on for England and they won a penalty kick. A good day for a Manchester united fan.
Oh, this is my first post in this thread of this useless competition.
lol'd, they are desperate for money that's all. What a goal from Cancelo 
And CR7 reaction was like damn nice goal 
I would say Belgium, France and Portugal to win but seeing the overall qualifications results, I will not be surprised if nothing of this will happen lol
At least guessed something correct today in this competition. And Griezmann loves hunting ducks apparently
Oh, this is my first post in this thread of this useless competition.
Wasn't better just deleting this "useless" competition since in 2021 we already have the Euro 2020?
Don't you think let players moves from country to country with an epidemic for this trophy is only a risk?

Very good match between Portugal and Croatia.
Portugal is much better and honestly Croatia must be very happy with current result, 0:0.
Croatia lost almost all matches with Portugal in their history and today will be no different.
Very weak performance from Croatia tonight; without Modric and Rakitic it's different team.

You know that England midfield is bad when I wouldn't let any of them play in Croatian squad even though we are missing Modric & Rakitic 
If England had a guy like De Bruyne or Fernadez today they would have scored few goals for sure. They desperately need some quality on play maker position. Maybe Foden could be the one in few years time.Why did England play without left back? What's up with Chilwell and all the rest?
What an end to the match, two soft penalties but England managed to take theirs and win the game.
Edit: Belgium without De Bruyne, Portugal without Ronaldo
Don't like Belgium for high stake now but I will still play them for medium stake.
My "fun" tip Nikola Vlasic to score @6.5, if you can find it it to boost odds it will be a goal from just outside 18 yards box with very precise and otherwise quite slow shot
Watched Tenet yesterday and experimenting with "temporal pincer movement" of my own

^yeah, Gibraltar vs San Marino (butchers vs waiters) is the best game today :-) I'm in with a little single bet on both to [email protected]
Than, I will pick Iceland to score, I've made a little one on Iceland to win against England, cause, there is always a chance
@Trofo, Croatia will win this one! We are the best, we stopped Messi, why do you think that we can't stop CR?
There's a big price on France to win against Sweden, will combine that pair with Macedonia in a double

Can't wait for Gibraltar vs San Marino
Yeah, it will be game of the week. Such games is the reason why we love international football . But damn, San Marino is so bad that even against Gibraltar bookmakers don't give them chances to win - odds for their win is @8.8 Two cities facing each others, may the best win

Odds for France, Portugal and Belgium wins looks nice, but as you said, in current circumstances these games is very tricky.
