This competition does not seem to be too important for the French, let's remember that last season in this competition they lost on their home field to Croatia, which was actually much more dangerous then today. What has also been shown this time is that the teams that have more individually better players do not always win in sports, because sometimes motivation is a decisive factor.
For today, I would single out the match between Ireland and England because of their mutual rivalry. The English are of course the big favorites, but in the past Ireland knew how to put up a lot of resistance, let's hope that they will be a tough nut to crack today.

Very strange games and results in today amtches for the National league competition.
What happen with France? They started in a super way wining the game since the begining of it and ended up losing it badly against a not so good Italy, and in the other side.... what is this Italy? Always the same they do games like this and in the next one they drop points against some shit national team.
And in low tier games.... what made Norway always be so shit having super players like Haaland Odegard Sorloth ? How you cant score a single goal against a super weak Kazajthan?

I was surprised by seeing the game of France against Italy result, to be honest, I didn't expect France to lose to Italy like that and even if they wanted to lose it should not be this way by conceding 3 goals, France is the one that first score an opening goal in just a second when the game start, France has not been playing good since the beginning of the Euros and I think this will affect them in the world cup if they did not find the solution to the problem, although Italy is a very strong country that has many young talented player's but France performances in the game is too poor.
Concerning Norway's performance, I think Norway is just a country that has many good players but the players don't know how to play for their country, the problem with Norway's performance may be from the coach or the players, but I think the problem will be from the coach because having Haaland, Odegard and Sorloth on a team and can't score a goal in a match doesn't make sense, Norway and France need to solve the problems in the team if not they will suffer in the world cup.
yesterday Italy played a decidedly perfect match, tactically and everything, let's say that the result wasn't even right that initial goal shouldn't even have been there but they took it otherwise the match could have ended easily 3-0, Italy they didn't come out of the last European Championship well and let's also say that the nation league is worth very little in international terms, but what they did was play a beautiful match and play at very high levels!
Sometimes statistics do not affect the result. For example France vs Italy. First half, 50:50. Second half 60:40. The final result, France lost and Italy could solve something that has never been solved as you say when playing in Paris.
Barcola with his early goal for France, but it was unimaginable that they had to give up 1-3 at the end of the match.
70 years of not winning in Italy, so for France the defeat against Italy was the first after losing to Spain in the semifinals of UERO 2024.

To be honest, I thought that after the disastrous Euro, Spalletti would leave his post as head coach, but I see that he is still working with the national team. The beginning of the match was shocking, the first minute of the match, a mistake in the back pass and Barcola opens the scoring, at first it seemed that for Italy it would end with another failure. But already in the 5th minute, Italy could have equalized the score (the crossbar prevented it). In the 30th minute, Italy equalized the score, with a very beautiful shot, and at the end of the first half, Italy and France exchanged several shots, but no goals.
The beginning of the second half was dictated by Italy, several good attacks and they went ahead in a few minutes. It is surprising that France could hardly create anything after conceding the second, and Italy continued to attack and brought the score to 1-3. I did not expect the match to end like that, especially after such a terrible start, and by the way, this is another match in which Mbappe was almost invisible.
Didn't expect Italy can destroy France, although Spalletti was successful with Napoli, but they weren't able to win against Switzerland and Croatia. So, I would say France is under perform instead of Italy improved, France have used all of their best players.
Will we see a big upset in Ireland vs England too? both of them didn't have good results and Ireland never beat England so far.
Well, you can call it all you wish, but Italy were really beasts of the night, France dished out an early goal opener in less than 7 minutes, Italy responded three good times to totally destroy France in all it's might. Even mbappe was both confused and surprised at the power of the Italian midfield chocking every France offensive. Their counter attacks couldn't work like always that yesterday.Will we see a big upset in Ireland vs England too? both of them didn't have good results and Ireland never beat England so far.
Looks like Italy coach studied their pattern of football thoroughly before engaging them to weaken their strongholds. Nice result for Italy yesterday night. I'm really glad France could taste humiliation even if it's just a little bit.

I'm so happy to see Italy stepping up to face France and not letting them being bullied by the big names or whatever France have got. Nice winning from Italy, I believe this will give them a positive energy to get back in the next game and I hope they bring this same force they gave France national team. I was expecting the game to end in a draw but the whole thing changed when I saw 1-2, and the way Spalletti handled the team is very different from the team we saw at the last Euros, they came all out and never sit back for their opponent to come attacking while they defend, rather they did both (defending and attacking).
As for another shocker I don't think it will happen today, maybe it will happen tomorrow and the England game is going to be hard for Ireland because England wasn't happy with their last outing, that final they lost hasn't left their memory and they have to unleash their anger on Ireland that's if they can perform better than the awful display we saw in the competition.

Taking into consideration that Nazionale italiana have not won in Paris for 70 years, today is a massive clap back at the France team. The Italian players have broken free of France staying unbeaten to them, with 3 goals to 1.
That's it! The best moment to always remember and note! how cool

Hats off to Spalletti, it was a very tough game for them, and it was a surprising result for many. Really, hats off to how Spalletti brought the Italian team to be this good at the start.
But indeed, League A Group 2, is one of the hell groups, only Israel is probably not too much considered.
Turkey played badly, I didn't like it at all. They made us watch a very unpleasant match.
Montella is still playing a team without a striker, this guy should stop now.
Barış Alper is not a striker, you can't get performance from this guy there. This guy should play on the right wing, everyone knows that.
We were down to 10 men in the last 30 minutes. Getting 1 point is good in this respect.

After Italy scored the first goal, and started creating more opportunity for themselves through the French defense, I knew it was just some few minutes it was going to take for them to score a goal. Didier Deschamps took out Olise and brought Dembele, that to me even took out more power from the French attack because even though Dembele is fast, good with his feet and can get himself into good positions, his decision making is still very poor at the last moment. Olise to me would have maintained the attacking threat that France had. Italy played very well, they kept finding spaces through the French defense.

It seems to me that in this game the statistics were quite well reflected in the final score, after all the advantage in shots on goal was twofold for Italy, so it is not surprising that they scored more goals. It could have been a historic win, but still, due to the status of the tournament, there is a feeling that it was not a very important game for either team.
Meanwhile, Ronaldo scored his 900th career goal and once again raised the bar for goals for the national team.
Potential competitor Haaland failed to score a goal and Norway failed to win against Kazakhstan.
Türkiye could have beaten Wales away if there were only 10 players left.
Even after being down to 10 players, I saw that he played good football defensively.
They got 1 point from this away game and now there is an Iceland match in Turkey on Monday. They will most likely beat Iceland very easily, but Iceland is a rival that is opposite to Turkey in terms of football. The favorite is by far Türkiye, but there may be a surprise in the outcome. For example, like togetherness.
Actually I didn't enjoy the game of the Turkish national team today, even when the team was not deficient, Wales did not let them play in the first 20 minutes, the Welsh team was constantly under pressure. Wales had the upper hand throughout the match, they actually should have beaten Turkey in this state. They played very comfortably and created chances. The biggest problem in Turkey is the formation problem in terms of attack. Even after being down to 10 players, I saw that he played good football defensively.

As I mentioned in this post, I thought Türkiye could not beat Wales and even Wales would win, but it ended in a draw.
Türkiye finished the match with 10 men as a result of Barış Alper receiving a red card in the 62nd minute.
The interesting thing is that although Wales mostly played well, only one of their shots was on target.
Turkey's most difficult away game was Wales and they got a point from there.
Indeed, they dominated almost entirely in terms of possession and chances but looking at the match that took place, the chances Wales had were empty because they could not take advantage of their numerical advantage just because they were bad at finishing. Even though if they can play better than finishing I think the opportunity is still very wide open to be able to win in this match, it just can't be done because Turkey's defense is indeed quite good and Wales' attack line is quite blunt.
Taking into consideration that Nazionale italiana have not won in Paris for 70 years, today is a massive clap back at the France team. The Italian players have broken free of France staying unbeaten to them, with 3 goals to 1. Their strong defensive and selectively smart attacking force on France is very outstanding. They played to win. France only have good ball possessions ahead of the Italians, but the Italy players utilized their attacking opportunities. However, the fouls are just too many for a single game - see full time game stats below.

Italy managed to win the match against France quite impressively. Score 1-3 did not change until the end. And maybe there were a lot of fouls in that match. But I think the number is still within normal limits. Because today there was another match that had more violations. What I mean is the Wales vs Türkiye match. You can see their match statistics table.
France only made 12 fouls and Italy only made 10 fouls. And I was actually impressed by the France vs Italy match where there were only 2 yellow cards in the match. Meanwhile, in the Wales vs Türkiye match, we can see that Wales made 12 fouls and Turkey made more, namely 20 fouls. There were 6 yellow cards in the Wales vs Türkiye match and 1 red card. But Türkiye managed to make the match end in a draw with only 10 players. Well, it's natural that they made a lot of fouls because they were fighting not to lose in the match.
Belgium, who are currently 3-1, are about to get 3 points from this match.
Belgium game is easy and the result is expected so far. Normally they will win this match and add another goal. France is currently defeated against Italy. After conceding 2 goals in the first minute through Barcola, France must draw at worst.
France started in force with a goal since the first minute then Italy was able to reverse the score and get the lead. In the previous matches, France used to win and this one might be a trap for the French team. Anyway there is still time and Italy has to stand since France could return in the game at any moment. talking about the possible candidates to qualify is among the 3 teams in this group B, Belgium, Italy and France, I do not consider Israel as a capable team in this group B.
The Turkish National Team will play away against Wales tomorrow. Even though Türkiye seems like the favorite on paper, Wales is a very difficult away game.
A team with a system and its own school.
Even though Türkiye did very well in the European Championship, I think it will lose points tomorrow.
Even a Wales win can be tried in surprise coupons.

France have been matching Italy for so long almost getting to two decades since 2006 World Cup final when they finished draw and Italy succeeded with penalties to win 2006 World Cup, since then they have been battling with France to even get a draw but it's has never been possible, my question is that can this match bring the change for Italy to end the longest unbeaten record of France against them? France are full equipped with most of the talented players that are well-known all over the world with their incredible performance. This match will look interesting what do you think?
