That match was quite surprising for me. I followed it for a short time when Poland was leading. I didn't expect to see later 5 goals scored by both teams and certainly not in the first place Croatia to score 3 goals in like 7 minutes. Poland collapsed in these moments. Luckily later they were able to recover and get a draw. Even the red card got by Croatia player didn't help Poland to win.
The other matches had expected results mostly except maybe the draw between Portugal and Scotland.

Spain is keeping a record unbeaten and I like that, Spain performance yesterday shows that they don't depend on any player and they have a good coach when Yamal was released by the coach to return to Barcelona and Nico Williams was not also in the field many people think that Spain is going to suffer because no any wing player can play like the way Nico Williams and Yamal did but Spain show them that they don't depend on any player and they are capable of defeating any opponents.

Serbia is the country that challenges some big countries but Spain showed them that they are the best and scored 3 goals without not conceding any goal in the match, if Spain keeps performing well like this there is nothing that will stop them from winning the World Cup in 2026, and it will be very good if Spain keeps that coach as their coach for the 2026 world cup because that man is doing his job as a coach.

Everyone was impressed with their performance, they played with determination and went on to score 3 goals after conceding first. I thought they would win the match comfortably but they couldn’t hold on and allowed Poland to equalize and everything got worse after the red card that they had to defend their goal to at least secure a point.

Scotland are actually not a bad team and they can surprise Croatia with a top performance as they did with Portugal but i still think it will not be enough to make them secure a spot at the top. The favorite to make it out are still Portugal and Croatia.

It was expected outcome and any performance Serbia was trying do was just to clear some shame they would have gotten, actually the match was like a bonus match to all the gamblers yesterday because I saw so many people who add Spain to win the match and when I checked the odd it was worth it, however Serbia did not just loss the match but it was like a punishment to them because they never put themselves together from the first minutes to the last and the most saddest thing for them was having a red card and it was not even a player that doesn't have much value to them it had to be Pavlović who has always been very helpful to their matches.

Romanian team is on a roll with 4 victories out of 4 games and maximum points in their group and at this point we are already qualified further but also we finally have a great chance to be present at World Cup as long as thi team will still believe that they can achieve greater things together because they are truly a very talented generation and we Romanians haven't had this since Hagi generation a very long time ago.  

Portugal will surely remember Ronaldo's contribution for a long time and future generations will surely be proud of Ronaldo no matter how old the history. Ronaldo may not have won any World Cup trophy for Portugal but what he alone has done for Portugal no star of any other country could have done for any other country. Ronaldo is old enough but he is ready to give himself to the needs of the team and still when he steps on the field for Portugal, it is seen that he is trying his best to perform well for his team. A big tournament like the World Cup usually requires a good performance from everyone but Ronaldo failed in that aspect because his team does not have quality players.

Yeah, Portugal will certainly take the first place and they only need a draw in the remaining 2 matches to collect 12 points while Croatia is predicted only collect 11 points if they win once + draw and for Poland it seems that as you said it will end in the 3rd position, whereas before I hope Poland can compete there because they have Robert Lewandowski who is on fire in the league but unfortunately it is not in line with expectations.

By the way, from 4 matches have passed and we have seen which teams have the potential to go to the next round, Greece is one of the teams that attracts attention because it wins all the matches including against England so will they be able to make a surprise in this tournament? Greece did it a few years ago in another competition.

As anticipated, Spain takes the lead in the Group 4 table by winning three of the matches with a draw. Serbia thought that they could succeed in having another drawn match with Spain at Spain's home because, in their previous meeting, Serbia drew(0-0) against Spain at their home. They wanted to have the same result as Spain, not knowing that Spain was already prepared to win them, not to allow such a thing without grabbing the 3 points from them, making them top the group 4 table with 10 points, Denmark 7 points, Serbia 4 points and Switzerland 1 point.

However, next month, Spain faces off against Denmark in an away match. I consider the match to be an away win for Spain even though it will not be an easy win for Spain.

Yeah, it has finally been confirmed that Thomas Tuchel would be the new England coach, while that would translate into a new level expectation that comes with being the head coach of the English national team, I'm sure it is actually a win for all good football lovers, England have a lot of impressive and talented players but nothing much has been made of the squad. Aside from not playing an interesting style of football, I believe Southgate might have done the best job for the team in past decade and half, if not more. However, with the caliber of players they seem to have, they indeed should be asking for way more than they're settling for right, they ought to be some force to reckon with.

Our defense was very good on the world cup, while last night it was just awful. Even those who are usually great weren't on their usual level, and here in Croatia we blame our coach Dalic for that.


To be fair, we played with 1 player less only the last 10 minutes of the game. Imho, that red car for Livakovic start on Lewandowski was way too harsh as he was the first one that reached the ball.

There is no doubt that the match was interest in this match we saw two teams trying to win the match.  But unfortunately both did not get the win and hard work and good play was seen from both the teams. More effort and more goals in the first half. It seemed that Croatia could win this match, but in the second half Poland equalized the match by scoring a goal which was done with a lot of hard work and effort. He must have got some help from her or he must have done it by mistake. We have to depend more on match wins and draws because the match won ended in a draw. From which Croatia has suffered a little loss.Because Croatia was going to win the match by one goal, but the Poland player equalize the match by scoring a goal after which no goal was scored.

Livakovic should not have received a red card because, realistically, he reached the ball first and could no longer stop himself from coming into contact with the player who was coming at him at full speed. What is strange is that VAR did not react, but it should in these situations. Apparently, the referee is a big fan of RL and wanted to please the home crowd, and as far as I can read, the Polish media literally lynched Livakovic and think that even a red card is too small a punishment.


It is strange that they succeeded in this, considering that they have become specialists in conceding goals in the last minutes of the game. However, in the 4-4-1 system in which they played until the end of the game, it was very difficult for the opponent to get a chance to shoot at the goal at all.

As I wrote in the previous post, at the moment Croatia and Poland are relatively equal teams, with perhaps a little more quality on an individual level when it comes to Croatia.

Portugal never fails, in my bets I always think of them, betting positively on their outcome of the match, it is incredible however how Cristiano Ronaldo is still present despite his age and continues to amaze everyone with excellent football

It is noteworthy that this result has already left Poland outside the circle of contenders for first place. Therefore, in the next round we will see almost formal games Portugal - Poland and Scotland - Croatia (although any of the underdogs can surprise) and we will see the winner of the group in the game Croatia - Portugal, where a draw will be enough for Portugal.

It would not be wrong to say that Spain is currently the strongest team in Europe. Excellent performances we have seen from Spain players in recent times. Consistently this team is able to perform well. I was sure that Spain would win against Serbia.

In the Croatia vs Poland match I thought Croatia would be able to win. Because although Croatia conceded the first goal of the match, the Croatia team was able to take a 3-1 lead in just 26 minutes. But even then the team failed to win the match till the end. The match ended in a 3-3 draw. Croatia might have won the match if they had played some defensive tactics in the second half.

In the end I lost my bet not only because of Croatia, but Portugal too hehe, only Spain won their match
No problem, I won a great bet in south america qualifiers, but I'm at a loss in Nations League bets

At least Croatia match against Poland had 6 goals and were more funny to watch, Portugal didn't score any goal 


It was a great match, I agree, probably the most exciting match of the day 
It reminded me of Croatia in the World Cup, playing with determination, one player less and managing to hold on to the result until the end

Spain simply corrected what they had to do in the first match of this group stage, this time Serbia's defense could not cope with the attack of Spain. The teams of Poland and Croatia played a very good match, in the 26th minute Croatia was already winning 1-3 and it seemed that everything would end badly for Poland, but they were able to equalize the score and achieve a draw, although this did not help them much, Croatia remains in second place and maintains a 3-point difference between them and Poland. Scotland also surprised with a good game in defense, a 0-0 draw with Portugal is a good result, but this is only the first point in this stage in 4 games.

I am impressed with Spain even though most of their players were unavailable to participate in the international games during this period. Players like Lamine Yamal and some others were absent. But the striking performance of Spain is top-notch. Any country playing against Spain should know that it's not going to be easy. Yesterday's game was frustrating for Serbia. After holding the game in the first half from a 1:0 goal with the belief that they might score and equalize. They ended up conceding two more goals and got one red card in the game.

With the strength of Spain currently, i can agree that they will remain unbeaten even after they play against Denmark and Switzerland. They have played against a stronger opponent and still won i don't expect Denmark and Switzerland to be much of a problem to them in November. By then most of their injured players will be fit to play in that game.

Yes, there is no doubt that Spain's strength is still extraordinary up to now and of course in the match between Spain and Serbia it was clear that the Serbian defenders were quite overwhelmed because the Spanish strikers continued to put pressure on the Serbian back line.

Yes, it was fantastic that within 5 minutes Spain was able to score a goal against Serbia. Yes, Laporte really performed exceptionally in that match and with his accurate header he managed to score a goal against Serbia which ultimately made the Spanish players even more enthusiastic. Yes, of course Pavlovic was very unfortunate, he made a tackle which ultimately resulted in him getting a red card and of course this was very profitable for Spain. Yes, of course, with a score of 3-0 for Spain's victory, of course this is very good and it is clear that the Spanish players look very happy and of course, if for example Spain can take full advantage of opportunities, of course it will make Spain score more than 3 goals, but yes, of course now Spain has succeeded. won 3 points from Serbia.

Yes, of course Spain must be prepared to face Denmark and Switzerland and of course in that match there will definitely be an exciting competition, but I am sure that in that match Spain will have great potential to win. What do You think, Spain will win that match?

When we look at the statistics, it seems like Spain has destroyed Serbia. They have taken 30 shots at the Serbian goal and ten of them have found the target. Three of them have scored. It is lucky for Serbia that the match ended with three nil. Because this match could have ended with different scores. I was already thinking that Spain could easily beat Serbia and that is what happened.
