No point in discussing the hypothetical scenario of actually scoring these shots, we had quite a few chances and some decent shots, but ultimately didn't happen.

Point is that you actually created some good chances, its just that you didn't score this time and that you played better than the end result may indicate. This is probably the best team you had in quite some time and you should be optimistic going forward.

Unfortunately, we lost vs Scotland tonight. It should have been much an easier game for us, but as usual we managed to complicate the situation by a stupid red card at the end of the 1st half.

Wow, how quickly Poland fell apart. This is especially surprising given the first half, when Portugal may have had the initiative, but Poland had more dangerous moments.

Updated: While I was writing this message the score became 5-0. Ronaldo has +2 goals for the national team and an assist.

Lol, it's already 5-1. But still, due to the personal meeting and the goal difference, Portugal secures first place in the group, the Croatians are second.

England indeed started better, but towards the end of the first half and start of the 2nd you started playing better and imho game could have ended much different if you scored from those few good chances that you had while you were down by only one goal.

Well, the head start was enough to tarnish our confidence, that wasn't the cause though, England simply played better football. We did play a little better during second half, but it wasn't enough nor did we manage to score a goal to hinder the difference. No point in discussing the hypothetical scenario of actually scoring these shots, we had quite a few chances and some decent shots, but ultimately didn't happen.

They don't even have to draw in the last round, didn't you see what I wrote? To get to the top spot, France must win by 4 or more goals.
By the way, I forgot that two teams from each group in League A go to the playoffs, so France hasn't really lost anything. And yet I consider this result shameful. It's time to fire Deschamps so that the stagnation that has happened in the England team doesn't happen.

Deschamps is backed by many people in influencing positions and they will not let him go because of a draw. He will leave if he made a big mistake in social life or his team fails badly and make everyone outcry him or he will simply retire.
In this case, it is Zidane who seems to be the first one to jump for this position. Things that seems to annoy some people in influencing position again.

There are many good matches today. But the highest quality match might be the one between Denmark and Spain. Denmark are second in the group with 7 points. They lost away to Spain. They drew away to Switzerland. They won the rest of their matches. Spain are in first place with 10 points. They drew away to Serbia in their first match. Even if Spain get a draw in this match, they will be guaranteed to finish top of the group. Also, when I look at the statistics I see that Spain won the last 5 matches between Denmark and Spain. I think Spain are close to 3 points in this match as well.

Spain is currently leading against Denmark, well it's not surprising to me cause Spain got better squad than Denmark, if you're following the match you'll see that they dominated the game and have created more good chances that Denmark who's yet to get a shot on target, the match is quite interesting and almost close to the end of the first half, I don't think Denmark would be able to equalize but would concede more goals from Spain in the second half, the Spanish team has recently become more strong and threat to other European team, if they continue that way they'll do better in the next World Cup even more better than the France national team. Well Denmark have tried even though they lose the match, atleast they've tries to be in the 2nd position in their league. Another interesting match apart from this is Portugal vs Poland, they won Poland in their previous meeting and chances are that they'll defeat Poland again, although the first half ended with a goalless draw but it won't end so in the second half.

Lol

France 0 - 0 Israel
Mbappe is probably laughing right now.
I hope Deshas gets a slap on the wrist from fans and journalists. Unacceptable result.
It turns out that the last round will be a mere formality - Italy won the first match 3-1 and have a better goal difference. France needs to win 4-0 in Italy to move up to first place. I think bookmakers will quote this outcome as 1 to 150 or even worse.

Bad day for France, they carried out an aggressive attack with 24 shots and 8 of them on target but unfortunately there are no goals, Israel might play defensive but there is no reason to miss the points in this match and France must play more aggressively in the next match. By the way, good results from Italy who won the match and I think they are safe the group they only need a draw in the next fight against France on 18 November.

They don't even have to draw in the last round, didn't you see what I wrote? To get to the top spot, France must win by 4 or more goals.

Italy won but Belgium has been very poor in this competition, it doesn’t seem like them at all. Maybe because they lost some important players to injury but still they should have done better.

I thought Belgium would be able to win against Italy. But Italy won the match with a margin of 1-0. However, we saw quite good gameplay from the players of both teams. Both teams tried to win. But despite making several strong attacks, the Belgian players were not able to break the Italian defense.

The Belgium team hasn't been in any good shape, I literally wouldn't expected them to win against Italy who has been doing pretty well and now we can see from the fact that they have qualified already to the Nations League quarter-finals.

Belgium's midfield was not strong in this match. De Bruyne was not in the squad. Although Trossard could perform a little better, Onana's performance was not good in this match. At the same time, we did not see a better performance from Openda and Lukaku. These two Belgian strikers missed several opportunities.

The Belgium golden team is dying, I wondered how long it will take them to get back. The attacking team has been slowing deteriorating when Eden Hazard was really out of shape and now that he has retired, things just become worst. Lukaku has not really been an hero to his National team especially these past years, I wonder also when last he did give them a winning goal or at least draw.
The Belgium team needs to be thinking of rebuilding theur squad and I think their manager need to drop every difference he has with Courtois and invite him to the team, tbh.

Greece vs. England ended a while ago, ending in a victory of England with three goals. It was a quite decent game and England showed right from the start that they had the upper hand, scoring their first goal in the 7th minute of the game. The second goal was scored by Odysseas Vlachodimos, when he pushed the ball onto the post, rebounding and went through the line, after Jude Bellingham's attack. Anyway, I wasn't too confident about Greece, but it was a great game nonetheless.

Who in the right mind doesn't doubt in England's performance? Tongue

The England team is truly one of a kind. They can win by three goals and still somehow look a bit sluggish. The match against Greece felt like a replay of Euro 2024 games: cautious tactics, defensive focus, and a reliance on counterattacks. Most of England's chances and goals came from quick transitions out of defense.
One of the highlights was Curtis Jones debut goal in his first match for the national team. It was a brilliant combination: a pass from Bowen, an assist from Gibbs-White, and a slick backheel finish by Jones.

With this 3-0 victory, England has climbed to the top of their group. Now, they only have one match left — a home game against Ireland. A win there would secure their promotion back to League A.

Bad mood after Cyprus - Lithuania game, after this loss my country almost guaranted to relegate to Division D. I don't know how I will have to force myself to watch games in this division.
Now to more fun things - evening game. Main one is Denmark * Spain. Maybe it doesn't makes much sense to go with over 2.5 goals there, but I went after I saw odds.
Portugal - Poland, I'm very disappointed about Poland performances lately, I doubt that they have chance against Portugal today. Scotland - Croatia might be interesting, went with BTTS there.
Also, made bets on Norther Ireland ML and over 1.5 goals in Luxembourg - Bulgaria.

The fight between weak team San Marino vs Gibraltar at League D Group 1 and currently Gibraltar in the first place with collect 5 points from 3 matches and both teams previously has been met on October and Gibraltar can win with narrow score from San Marino and if we see from the recent performance Gibraltar is much better than San Marino because they were unbeated in the last 5 matches and i think potentially Gibraltar can able to extended their unbeated records and win again from San Marino today and for betting option the bookies provide high odds for both teams and Gibraltar win has odds @2.55 or for safe bets i think under 2.5 goals also good

Gibraltar is stronger on paper and they have got chances to get promoted to Division C. So, such bet makes sense. And when you see how many goals these score, even when they play against other minor countries, it's just impossible to expect high scoring game. So, under 2.5 goals looks like safe choice, I rarely go with under, but this time I will make exception.

EDIT
No, just checked odds, 1.20 odds for under 2.5, not worth at all.

So the match ended goalless and it was a disappointing result for France, they should have won the game but they didn’t and this happens in football most of the times so there is no big deal in having a draw. This doesn’t take away their ranking in world football they just have do better next time. Why would Mbappe feel happy? There is no reason to be happy about the result or make fun of the team for the result, this is his country and wether he participates or not it’s still his country and should always respect and support his nation.

France has been doing great in their last three games, they won all and they were able to make it to through. This result will serve as a wake up warning to them and will fix every little thing that is the problem.

Italy won but Belgium has been very poor in this competition, it doesn’t seem like them at all. Maybe because they lost some important players to injury but still they should have done better.

Truly it was indeed very disappointing and am glad that I did not watch the game. It was a clear opportunity to gain all points from Israel. In their last match against Israel, they won 4:1 away. How come they were unable to score even a goal on their soil? This will be bad if Belgium wins their next game against Israel. Italy won Israel home and away, France failed to and now Belgium would win their next game. Although the Israel's keeper did a very good job of saving goals in the game.

Belgium players were not all present in the game. Some players refuse to come to the game because of injuries they have. Once the team is fit i think they will be able to win their next game.

How disappointing was France yesterday, with the odds France was suppose to best isreal yesterday with so much goals to count, but they ended up playing a goalless draw, all credit to the isreal goal keeper who was in a very big foam yesterday, he made alot of big saves to keep his side in the game, they also defended very well and counter attack when they could. Though they didn’t have much of attacking to do as they only had one shot on target, it was a good chance and if they had taken the chance maybe, just maybe they would have left France with all 3 points.

A lot of big names started for the french team yesterday and everybody expected a big win for france but it didn’t happen. The french team created chances and of course should have win the match even the last minute thuram header was kept out by the isreal goalkepper. Good game for isreal and good point also fot them.

I said that England will defeat Greece but I saw some people are doubting that is because some of England's key players are not in the squad, although those players who are not been called are good players some of them are not doing well for their country, England defeat Greece with 3 goals without not conceding any goal yesterday, I believe if it was those players who are not been called are the one that plays the game yes they will not score 3 goals in the match because all of them are playing a selfish game.

There is hardly any English player that we can tag as a key player in England. All positions in the English squad have 2 to 3 players available that could take that place if one of the players reports injured. That is how richly blessed the team is. The problem of any coach that has handled England has never been the players, but team management. Coaches can usually have difficult when they are managing a big team with big players. It will be very difficult to keep every player happy.
Lee Carsley has really tried holding the England team together until the new coach takes over.

KDB wants to minimize his condition which is quite vulnerable to a long injury for now so he asked not to be called up by the Belgian national team for October and November this year which makes him not in the Belgian squad now.

It is understandable for Tedesco that he granted KDB's wish not to be in the squad for the last 2 months because apart from thinking about rotation and opportunities for some young players, KDB also seems to want to focus on himself and his professional career at the club level which is indeed in a tight schedule so he does not want to force himself with his body.
Now, Belgium still have to struggle because the score is still unchanged and there is indeed a slight change that occurs for the scheme in this match where it looks like Tedesco wants to try something new with a 2 striker scheme which previously always only kept Lukaku in the targetman.

I understand why some players are not taking the this tournament very seriously, I think it's because it's not as important as other tournaments they're playing in and most of them would want to maintain their fitness for other important league tournaments especially those playing for the top European clubs. De Bruyne is a key player for one of the top clubs in the world, so his fitness is very important and that's why he decided not to be called up so he'll maintain fitness and help his club team. Left for me, I think this tournament should be mostly for players that ain't getting much playing time maybe due to lack of form or something to get playing time therefore most of thse important players in several clubs shouldn't be bothered being called up to avoid injuries since this tournament is not all important. Anyways, Belgium tried their best but it wasn't very enough to defeat or draw the Italians but atleast they tried not to concede more than one goal.

Actually in this case I think it's just about priorities because after all KDB must know what condition his body is in, coupled with him sometimes being injured for a long time it makes him have to be extra careful because he has just recovered after previously having to rest for several weeks so this decision is a good step that he did for the national team because it was forced apart from him who certainly had the potential to have new problems KDB also seemed not to want his professionalism at Manchester City to be disturbed so he preferred to take 2 months off (October and November) so as not to be called up to the Belgian national team.

The final result of Belgium's match against Italy did not change with Italy's 1 goal advantage lasting until the end of the match.
This further makes Belgium lose momentum where 5 matches are only done with 1 win and 1 draw making them like a club that seems ordinary for now even though without KDB in the squad they actually have the capacity and resources that are still very good.

The performance I saw with England's players is very good and I believe if they keep performing well like this they will help the country to win a trophy, I want to see those people who are saying Cole Palmer is England's best player, no any player that is good and deserve England best player than Jude Bellingham, he played well and he is everywhere in the field control the game and create chances, Jude Bellingham is the best player in England.

The Belgian federation has never been objective in finding a coach, even though Belgium is one of the best in developing players. The days of the Belgian golden squad will soon be over, even when De Bruyne is not played, the Belgian midfield plays without a clear vision and mission. This is very different from Italy which is increasingly successful, because it has a great coach and can rely on young players, now all Italian players are talented young players.

In addition, Belgium's defeat in this match in my opinion, apart from Italy whose performance is starting to improve, Belgium which is starting to regenerate is also still unstable. Luckily in this group they got an easy opponent, namely Israel. I think in the next match Belgium will get three points and their record must improve immediately.

The match between Belgium and Italy was very interesting, both teams were very strong in attacking formations, both had strikers playing in the Europa League such as Lukaku and Openda while this match was won by Italy. I saw in this game that the Belgian striker not only created several opportunities to score goals against Italy.
but like us last year, Italy's bottom defense was very difficult for opponents from any country to pass, but this was luck for Italy to take advantage of so they narrowly won 1-0. I really like these two teams, especially when they face each other, losing and winning is normal, the important thing is that their game doesn't disappoint.

And apart from the Belgium vs Italy match, I didn't expect that Greece would suffer a crushing defeat in this meeting by England. Even though I know that England is far superior in several ways, I didn't expect a 0-3 result to occur in that match.

And today some matches that I think should not be missed are the Portugal vs Poland match. I am curious about the meeting between Lewandowski, who is in his best form at Barcelona, and the legend Cristiano Ronaldo. Both of them are no longer young players, but I always follow and pay attention to these two players more than other young players.

Greece managed to beat England in the previous meeting when England was the host. And yesterday England really managed to avenge their previous defeat by beating Greece when Greece was the host. Well, it was unexpected to see England win so landslide. Because in that match Greece also played quite well. But they continued to fail to take advantage of the opportunities they received.

I think many of us are looking forward to the Portugal vs Poland match. Because I'm sure it will really be a fierce match and of course very interesting. And of course I will favorite Portugal. And I'm sure you and many of us want to see Cristiano Ronaldo score goals. Grin

And regarding Lewandowski, this player is currently in his best times again. He is still the top scorer in Laliga currently.
