France is like the country version of PSG. They motivate the opposing team only with their staff. Such wide and high quality feet must dominate the world football. France is one of the absolute favorites of every tournament on paper, but since euro 2020, they are far from that old France national team profile, there is a noticeable underperformance, but in the world cup, the things will be different. For the Croatia game: Mbappe, Benzema, Griezman, Ngolo Kante, Pogba, Giroud, Theo Hernandes, Hugo Loris. These are the 8 main team players and none of them played in this match and that means France played this match with the 2nd squad. In my opinion, they don't care about this trophy for France (they already got this trophy last year) or they are testing other 2nd squad players to see how they perform.
In the Austria - France match, I bet on the first victory of the French in this edition of the UEFA Nations League. In the second game of Group 1, it seems to me that the Danes will continue their winning streak against Croatia. Croatia looks terrible so far. The great advantage of the Danes will also be playing in front of their own fans.
The Danish national team exceeded their expectations in this tournament. The Croats, on the other hand, fell short of expectations. I think Denmark will win if there are no surprises in this match. Croatia, on the other hand, finishes last in the group and is relegated to classification B. Especially in the first match, they beat France 2-1 in France, which gave Denmark a great advantage. Also, in the matches played yesterday, North Macedonia lost 3-0 to Georgia. I think this is a big problem. North Macedonia should have won this match comfortably. I must admit I was very surprised.

France will probably win. They have to win or they have no chance of getting out of the group. In the other match of the group I think Denmark will not lose. Denmark has a good squad. After France failed to win the first two matches, they are considered the favorite.
Portugal is too strong for Czech that 2-0 is enough for them to get 3 points and get first position in standings group and in the other hand for today match Austria Vs France and as defending champion France still cannot showed satisfied performance because in the last 2 matches they only get 1 draw from Croatia and lose from Denmark so against Austria today their manager targeted 3 points and i think they can be able to won the match because from history side showed France is more better than Austria
Portugal successfully beat the Czech Republic with a score of 2-0 through goals scored by Manchester City's João Cancelo and a goal by Valencia's Gonçalo Guedes. Result made Portugal managed to move up to first place with 7 points from 2 wins and 1 draw, 2 points adrift of Spain who are in second place in Group 2 of the UEFA Nation League. In the match against the Czechs, Portugal was able to appear dominant and had almost 64% possession of the ball compared to 36% of the Czech possession. In addition, Portugal was also able to record 11 kicks on goal.

Portugal 2 - 0 Czech Republic
Portugal won easily as expected, the only surprise was that cristiano ronaldo didn't score, diogo jota didn't score either. in the case of diogo jota, he hasn't scored a goal for some time, even if it's a short time
Norway 0 - 0 Slovenia
this was a very irritating game, norway wasted so many opportunities, which only made me angry, I made my multii thinking: "with these low odds, with these two teams, my victory is almost certain", but to my surprise, norway drew

I was surprised too that Norway could not beat Slovenia, especially when the referee gave a red card to a Slovenian player. The Norwegians had a clear advantage in the game, but even on the powerplay they couldn't score a single goal, although they had 30 minutes to do so. The fact that this is the Nations League, i.e. friendlies, probably plays a major role here. Which, as before, were difficult to predict.Portugal won easily as expected, the only surprise was that cristiano ronaldo didn't score, diogo jota didn't score either. in the case of diogo jota, he hasn't scored a goal for some time, even if it's a short time

The Gibraltar game was really surprising at the end indeed. Bulgaria must have been able to destroy them easily but they couldn't. As for the League A games, both of them were really comfortable for Spain and Portugal. Maybe it didn't reflect on the score much in the Switzerland - Spain game but Spain played really good against them. I appreciated Switzerland's effort after the first half too. As the score was only 1-0 they would really have steal a point from Spain. Besides Portugal had a decent game and finished Czech Republic by a good score.
Gibraltar's draw against Bulgaria did make many parties feel surprised by the results they got where we know that Gibraltar is a goal barn for other countries in any competition but this morning they showed such an impressive performance where the host The hosts managed to hold their visitors Bulgaria to a draw even though they were 1-0 down at first before hosts Gibraltar grabbed Walker's equalizer in the 61st minute to earn their first point in the UEFA Nations League. legendary

Portugal again won in the UEFA Nations League tournament over the Czech Republic. A 2-0 win at Estadio Jose Alvalade put Portugal in the lead of Group 2. The Czech Republic had to drop to 3rd as Spain won over Switzerland which took the points to 5.
Portugal's performance against the Czech Republic was very good. The Czechs have been in very good form lately. Their performance in the last few matches is very commendable. And so it is definitely challenging for Portugal to win this match. However, the performance of every defender of Portugal, including Bernardo de Silva, was performing brilliantly.
Spain effort to avoid an unwanted result was achieved thanks to Pablo Sarabia only goal in the 13th minute. There are tasks that must be improved by L. Enrique for the good of the Spanish national team, one of which lies in the front line based on the 3 matches they have played.
The condition of the Switzerland team is very bad now. They have lost all three matches in a row. On the other hand, Jose Mourinho's Spain, is very tactful. They played defensively after scoring in the 13th minute and secured a 1-0 victory.

Portugal have been the most attracting team of their group so far.
Their efforts in the Nations League do not go unnoticed. They are treated as a serious competition in the nations league and progresses to the next round to win the trophy. Impressive performance against the Czech Republic. It was a team effort. The Portuguese have excellent players, but they must work together well if they are going to achieve anything at the World Cup. Portugal have been the most attracting team of their group so far.
Portugal and Spain both showed a good performance and got deserved wins at the end. Spain had some difficulties in the second half and this might have caused them to lose points too. Switzerland couldn't benefit from the chances they found in this half properly. Portugal were very advantageous in the first half already and they didn't give much chance to their opponent. I really liked Bernardo Silva in this game as he made two assists. Portugal have been the most attracting team of their group so far.
After failing to win in the previous two matches, Spain finally managed to secure 3 full points at Switzerland where the only goal for Spain was scored by Pablo Sarabia in the 13th minute which made Spain currently in second place in the standings.two points adrift of Portugal at the time. The same match also succeeded in defeating the Czech Republic with a score of 2-0, although this was only a tournament to hone the skills of young players who rarely played.but this match also had prestige for their respective national teams before playing the world cup next November. 
Portugal is too strong for Czech that 2-0 is enough for them to get 3 points and get first position in standings group and in the other hand for today match Austria Vs France and as defending champion France still cannot showed satisfied performance because in the last 2 matches they only get 1 draw from Croatia and lose from Denmark so against Austria today their manager targeted 3 points and i think they can be able to won the match because from history side showed France is more better than Austria

There's no doubt that Spain and Portugal can definitely secure this match because both teams are favorite teams moreover their opponents are still under level
Norway and Swedena bit disappointing not being able to take advantage of playing in front of the fans and unfortunately Norway against 10 players can't do anything
Few days back, Italy dominated Hungary in the first half winning and staying clear by two goals to no.
I loved there composure but couldn't keep it to the end.
That resulted to them scoring an own goal. Barella did great at the beginning of the second half.

They are a kind of practice matches to see where you are now as a team. A few teams have impressed, but other top countries have also failed. The question is therefore how much value you can attach to such competitions. There is a little more tension than in a regular practice match. Top players would rather not participate than do. We saw a kind of B Selection play in the Netherlands national team, which is why it just went well against Wales.
The players after having a long season now made to play these games, i cannot understand why, the football governing body should understand that players are not robots, and they also need holidays, to spend time with their families. Kevin of Manchester City was very critical of why they are made to play this extra games, for many teams these matches seem like friendly matches, i do not like the nations league and there is no need for it.

Main upset of today is Gibraltar draw with Bulgaria 1:1. Didn't watched game, but from stats this result doesn't looks like luck, but game of similar level teams. In recent years there isn't much brightness in Bulgarian football. In other game North Macedonia lost big against Georgia - 0:3. Maybe Georgia win isn't surprise, but it was difficult to predict such big result.
In league A everything as expected, not much what to comment.
In B League just 1 goal in 2 games. Haaland didn't scored and Norway game with Slovenia ended without goals. Serbia won against Sweden on away pitch.
I am not an expert but when I see Gibraltar not losing with +2 goals then I start asking questions and when I see them getting a draw then I am worried about their opponent..In league A everything as expected, not much what to comment.

Spain - Switzerland game ended without embarrassment, 1 goal difference for Spain is kinda normal result.
For Norway, you should mentioned that they failed to win vs 10 players. Slovenia got a red card half an hour before the end of the game..
Portugal 2 - 0 Czech Republic

I knew Spain and Portugal are going to win their match, cause they have alot of experience and quality players, and their opponent are not as strong as they are. Portugal victory against Czech Republic wasn't a surprise for me, cause their recent squad is more stronger than before. They were the favorite team to win the game, all thanks to them they delivered. I was so happy about their victory cause I really benefitted from it.
