I was really surprised to see France's starting eleven like that. I don't know why but Didier Deschamps didn't prefer choosing many of their main players in the starting eleven. This gave a chance to Croatia to upset them by a decent score as well. France were still the side to get ahead first but Croatia managed to answer later. In the last moments of the match, Croatia wasted a huge goal opportunity too. I liked their performance in this match against France. This was a really tough match for them but they still got one point at least.

It is difficult for the players to play football constantly and to start the nations league directly after their league is over. The Italy - Germany match is the result of this. The players are reluctant. Most football players are used to taking a vacation after the league and they want it. The body is getting tired. They seem to be at a low level psychologically as well. It was really bad that the nations league started a week after the leagues ended. There are players who have had very long and difficult seasons. Men should have at least some rest, both physically and mentally. When this is the case, they can't give themselves to the game anyway, they play very reluctantly.

Players are right to complain, some of them play over sixty games and this friendly league started without any holiday. Other players are already on vacation but these top class ballers constantly play matches. It's also hard for anybody to predict results of these games. You better stay away from these matches. I wouldn't call any result as "surprising" anymore. Whole construction of this tournament is bad, not a well-thought and doomed to disappear at some point.

It is the 66th minute of the match. France leads 1:0 with Adrien Rabiot on the scoreboard. Croatia is still trying. They are pressing forward. This is a good chance for them to change the momentum in the game. They need to score soon. Modric has an attempt on goal but Maignan makes a save.

It is strange that both top strikers Benzema and Mbappe are sitting on the bench. Grinzman was given a chance to prove himself and was released on the field in the 62nd minute, given how he played the season, it was in his interest to take advantage of this chance. Pretty tense game, but all the same it is felt that all the participants in the game are more likely to think about preparing for the World Cup than about this tournament.

Favorite Turkey in the 1st group of League C, where there are very weak teams, will play against Lithuania in the international league match tomorrow. Lithuania faced Luxembourg in their first match and lost 2-0. Turkey defeated the Faroe Islands 4-0. My favorite will be Turkey. There is no possibility of another team finishing that group as a leader anyway.

There have been many surprising results in the UEFA Nations League so far. I assume that the biggest teams don't care about this tournament too much. I don't see many of them caring about this tournament as much as the World Cup or the EURO. There is a nice match today which has just started by the way. It is between Croatia and France. Croatia have an advantage of playing a home match now but they are facing a very tough opponent anyway. France and them both didn't start well to this tournament. Both of them would like to win but I don't expect France to lose this.

I am not sure if I should wager on this or not. I did it on the first night, and lost almost all games. How are you guys deciding which teams will win? Based on the odds alone? Because, I am the proof that odds do not work, lost plenty of games where the favorites lost, and probably will happen again. Nation's league is unlike any other international game that I played before and I am guessing that it will probably go on like that for a long time.

I have to say the best thing to do right now would be to keep on staying away from it, at least for me. But, if I see a game that I would love to watch on tv, then I may reconsider my stance on betting on this.

Portugal - Switzerland
3:0 currently and there's still a whole time ahead.
Ronaldo could score a hat-trick in just 7 minutes, but missed the almost empty net. I think in the second half he will try his best

well portugal will win this game easily, this shows how they are stronger and in the world they will be able to go far unlike teams like england, belgium and france that in my opinion are making zero effort in this league and can even reach the world and don't go far. those three teams I mentioned should use this league as preparation training for the world cup

Yes, Portugal pleasantly surprises with its solid game. As for the World Cup, I would not look so far - a lot will depend on who gets who in which round of the playoffs. You can play well and be strong but lose in the 1/8 to an equally strong team.

as his rival Messi scored a hat-trick today, even if in a friendly game.

today messi score 5 goals, it's been a long time since i've seen messi score so many goals

Already saw it. The damn war of the persofans has again flooded all my information flows. This really annoys me, although people sometimes make really funny memes to hurt their opponents.

There were Argentina-Estonia match at last night. Estonia were defeated so badly by Messi. Messi showed the whole world that he is the Goat. He is a really alien. Messi scored 5 at last night. He gave an spetacular performance. We are so lucky to have watched him.

The best player by far. Because apart from being a playmaker, a scorer, he performs excellent defensively. He adapts to any system and an exceptional thing: it is running more than two years ago, honestly an incredible out of series. Messi will give everything in this World Cup, his highest level, since it will probably be his last World Cup and more than ever he wants to win it, I think that these years he took great care of himself just for this championship.

For Croatia vs France match, I don't think Croatia will win, don't underestimate France since Croatia has just lost and both need to win.

An interesting match could be between group one leaders Austria and Denmark... Judging by the first matches Denmark can be called the favourite, but it seems to me that here it will be an even game... I`ll probably try to bet on both teams to score... Although in the last three matches Denmark has won Austria without any goals back, but hopefully today it will be broken... Cheesy

While Messi's performance was truly impressive, I wonder how the Argentinian team will play against stronger opponents. It is easy to play brilliant if your opponent lets you do it. Estonias FIFA rank is 110th, way worse than the ranks of the teams qualified to the World Cup. It remains to be seen how strong Argentina really is. I don't think they will have problems in their group (Saudi-Arabia, Poland and Mexico), but they will need to be strong if they want to survive the knock out games.

before argentina played against estonia they defeated italy:



also argentina played many times against brazil which is a very strong team, argentina has become very strong in recent years, they may be able to win the world cup this time, if we look at argentina and make comparisons with other teams in the world we can seeing that argentina is at a very high level of strength, i can risk saying that the opponents that could create problems for argentina are brazil, france and belgium.



Latvia 0 - 0 Liechtenstein

If Latvia draw or lose in this game I will lose my multi bet, honestly I'm regretting having bet on Latvia, even if Latvia is being superior on the field, they are not managing to score goals

Many big nationd lost this week on the nations league competition i was not surprised that france lost against denmark since they have been on fire recently especially in the world cup qualifications but england loss yesterday was the most shocking one for me, before this game england was unbeatable for the last 9 games  and they only lost one game in their last twenties and it was by penalties against italy in the euro final i think southgate is england problem he is a really bad tactician and he don't choose the right players i think if england wants to do something in the world cup they need a new manager.
why weren't they tired in the last matches of the league ? they were playing just fine and winning champions league and la liga and the premiere league but suddenly in a new tournament they're tired and their performance is terrible, i think they're not taking it seriously nad they just want to get it over with, i lost betting on france and spain today, i think i should stay away from betting on these friendly matches.
Many of those big countries who are participating in the Nation Cup are losing their matches because of their tired and fatigued players, France has Mbappe, Benzema etc playing Laliga and UCL matches respectively same with English and Spanish players too, personally I think their wasn't enough rest for these players after the end of the League, whereas most of the countries who won their matches would have rested their players and many of their players played not too many league matches compared to star players paraded by the so called big countries, with the exception of portugal who convincingly won their match against Switzerland.

Smart is not enough, there must be skills
Upcoming match between Croatia vs France and both of teams had ambition to win the match after lose in the first match especially Croatia that they were humiliated by Austria with big score 3-0 and Croatia players said they want to fix their performance in this match but unfortunately they current opponent is France which is have good records during against them even in the last 3 matches Croatia never win from France and i'm sure in this match too France will be dominated the match and get 3 points from them
I know the match will be difficult to predict even though they will improve from yesterday's defeat but their opponents are tough challengers also from Croatia and France.
In terms of odds Croatia is certainly superior with @3.85 and France @2.05 but I'm not sure this match will be a draw so I didn't choose that bet, obviously in this option France are favored by many bettors but this time it's clear France can dominate their win after lost yesterday.

Reputation first.

One man is the strength of Argentina which is Messi, if Argentina meet a strong opponent,  I don't think it will be possible for Messi to save Argentina. Messi  performance was so interesting last night for scoring 5 goals.

Let's see what will happen, if Messi plays like the way he use in Paris Sant Germain I don't think so. But, if he plays like he knows to do, I guess that Messi could be decisive for saving Argentina. Messi is something of spectacular.


Anyway, Estonia wasn't really a good team to play against it, too easy for Argentina to win  Grin

This 37-year-old man is still running better than 25-year-old forwards while his peers are making retirement plans. He shoots harder, he plays harder, right runs, right passes, truly professional... Cristiano Ronaldo is a completely different talent. Despite being 37.5 years old, he has done countless runs. He made a game in midfield. He opened the stuck game. He used two free kicks. Both free kicks were accurate. A goal was scored thanks to a free kick. And he has two goals in the match. Let's also say to those who say an empty position goal, Ronaldo prepared the position of the two goals he scored from the midfield and went to the penalty area.

The odds payout for Denmark to win the game in full time against Austria is @2.50, I think the odds payout is pretty attractive for Denmark as Austria are looking to be the weakest team in this group. Even though Austria have beaten Croatia in their first game, but I think Denmark should be a big challenger to contest against France for the top spot in this group and they will surely want to earn 3 points today, I guess Denmark should stand a high chance to beat Austria at the final whistle today.
While i do agree that the odds are attractive and denmark are better and they are on a winning streak but i wouldn't consider austria a weak team they just destroyed croatia 3 0 in the last game in their own country so if they managed to win points today it wouldn't be a surprise.

Expectations and reality are two completely different things, and given how Croatia looked against Austria and that France is an unsolvable enigma for Croatia, I do not see that France can lose today. Croatia has a chronic problem in attack because it relies on Kramaric, who rarely scores goals in the national team. With a defense that leaks in all directions, without Perisic who is probably the best player Croatia has at the moment, and if Luka Modric is not 100% only very bad France can save Croatia from another defeat.

Messi is still the legend he is. Argentina is his home and he has that game play as compared to when he was still in Barcelona. A star shines well when he is found in the midst of team work and good play. Messi was a worthy captain for Argentina against Estonias Saudi-Arabia, Poland and Mexico will be another walkover if Argentina keeps the pace.
