Belgium easily beat Israel and will play France today... France did not show anything good in the last game against Italy... On the contrary, showed that when the opponent can switch off Mbappe, the game immediately collapses... If Belgium wins today, France will have big problems in this tournament... But I think this match could end in a draw...
Cristiano Ronaldo is a great player even at the age of 39 he is still playing very well both in league and national level he has scored a total of 80 goals for the Portuguese since he turn 30 year, with the kind energy in him I believe he will still be playing football in the coming years.
Yes his records are certainly impossible to break and I don't think he will retiring any time soon I believe he has a target of scoring 1000 career goals before retirement.
Three games in a row, and in the last two minutes, gunn did brilliantly. Yes his records are certainly impossible to break and I don't think he will retiring any time soon I believe he has a target of scoring 1000 career goals before retirement.
It's not new thing yet again Portugal's gunn Cristiano Ronaldo's 88th-minute goal gave his side the win. There aren't many teams in the world that could take points from Portugal in Lisbon. Scotland almost managed to get a draw, but once again, the goal machine Cristiano sealed the victory. It's an honor to see the greatest goalscorer still doing his thing!
Hmmm, that's true mate!
Spain are just humiliating the game. Everyone has a great day like every player has just dominated the game with great performance especially Yamal Jamal, F. Ruiz, Joselu and F. Torres etc. These are players who are just cooking the Switzerland.
F. Ruiz put two goals into the net while Joselu and F. Torres scored single goals. At the beginning of the game everyone is expected that indeed Spain will be the winner but R. Le Normand red card makes them a little bit hazy, and with this opportunity in first half Switzerland play beautiful football and struggle for goals, but unfortunately they failed with few disallowed goals. But anyway Spain make them smashed with only 10 players and get the three points to become 2nd in the table standings.
But to be honest, the match was a joy to watch. I really enjoyed the match. Espana just smashed the Switzerland with a 4-1 banger.
I like the pairing of Yamal and Williams at the opposite wings of the pitch. Those duo have been causing problems for any team right from the Euros and Luis is using this fully to his advantage. With their combined youth and talent upfront, it's easy for the strikers deliver accurately and another thing about Spain is they don't give you time to second guess your actions because they are too fast and if you were unable to stop them while they are building up the attack, it's a lost cause to think you can do anything once they've reached your eighteen yard box.

Yeah at first I thought Portugal would draw in the 80th minute the score was 1-1 but in the end Ronaldo scored a goal and ended the match with a score of 2-1 while also strengthening Portugal's position at the top of the standings, actually Portugal was already in a safe position but they were still able to record a perfect win in the 3rd match and the next opponent is Poland. On the other hand, Poland really needs points because they are competing with Croatia who also collected 3 points, well Poland will give a tough fight to Portugal.
Today we have an interesting match between France vs Belgium, we know france lost in the first match and put them at the bottom of the standings well, of course this match is not easy for them because Belgium is one of the strong teams in group A2 But France can take advantage of playing as the home team, will France be able to come out of a bad game like the last match? I think yeah because France really need the points to get a place in second place.
I admit that the tactics brought by Luis to face Switzerland were indeed extraordinary to add 2 goals in the second half and they only played -1, this shows how solid their formation is even though they lack one player in their defense, Spain in Luis' hands might bring victory again this season.
We know that Switzerland is also not a careless team, they have quite good and solid players, but here we are talking about the quality of strategy and players combined that made Spain win this match perfectly, the next match against Denmark who is undefeated, even beating Serbia who held Spain to a draw in their first match, this will be a great threat if Spain loses, but I think they can win.
The 39-year-old star is still making every record he plays and breaking past records. We saw him complete the 900 goal milestone with a goal against Croatia in the last match and set a record for the highest goalscorer. Moreover, the records that Cristiano Ronaldo is creating are certainly impossible to break. However, since Ronaldo still has enough to feed, he is likely to continue playing in the national team. Although Ronaldo is thinking of retiring to play for the national team at this age, his current pace and performance will not be bad if he continues. Moreover, in this nation league we saw another goal against Scotland in the last match, it shows that Cristiano Ronaldo still plays with enough energy, and he copes strongly in any situation.
Ronaldo is now more than 39 years old. But still Ronaldo's fitness is good enough. This is why he is able to perform well regularly. He continues to perform well even in the national team jersey. Ronaldo has even managed to score in the last two matches in Portugal's jersey. Since Ronaldo's fitness is still very good. So I think he will not take the decision to retire from the national team now. We may see Ronaldo in the national team jersey for a few more years.
In the match against Scotland we only saw the dominance of Portugal players. Scotland managed only 5 shots in the entire match. Ronaldo was not in Portugal's starting XI. Ronaldo entered the field as a substitute at the beginning of the second half. Ronaldo, Leao, Fernandes and Silva performed well in this match.
Since he turned 30 years, Cristiano Ronaldo have now scored more international goals than the all time top scorers of England, Spain, Italy Netherlands, Germany, France and even Brazil. This is unbelievable numbers if you ask me. Cristiano Ronaldo have broken and set many records in football but there some that I think are impossible to break and this one is definitely one of the them. To even think that he's still fit to continue playing for the national team at his age is another reason why Cristiano Ronaldo deserves all the media attentions he's getting at the moment.

Spain 4 - 1 Switzerland
Spain remains strong, even though they were playing with 10 players since the 20th minute, they managed to win the game. Something funny is that until the 13th minute, Spain had already scored 2 goals while they were playing with 11 players, but at the 20th minute they were left with only 20 players and still managed to score 2 more goals. This means that the fact that they were with 10 players did not change their performance. Joselu was very good in this game.

Spain has an excellent squad. I would say Spain win this match because of their excellent match strategy. Otherwise, it would not have been possible to defeat a big opponent like Switzerland with a margin of 4-1 with 10 players. Spain's match strategy was excellent. So Switzerland can't make much of an advantage despite attacking a lot.
The match was mainly dominated by the players of Switzerland. But they failed to break Spain's strong defense. Moreover, since Switzerland played in an attacking strategy, Spain had a chance to score from a counter attack. Joselu, Yama and Ruiz performed well in this match. Ruiz scored two goals and Joselu had one goal and one assist.
the Portugal coach isn't putting Cristiano Ronaldo in at the start of the game, I'm now looking at the players who will start and Cristiano Ronaldo isn't there:
The first half was not good for Portugal. Although they played aggressively and managed to create many chances. They have not scored a goal to equalize. Scotland managed to lead temporarily 0-1 through Mc Tominay's goal in the 7th minute. I am sure Ronaldo will be brought in in the second half and try to win the match. There were 16 shots made by Portugal in the first half, but it did not result in a goal. And bringing in Ronaldo might create new hope. I also bet on Portugal, if they lose I will lose the win from the other match.Congratulations on getting your bet right. Portugal has a very good squad, they have many players with great skills and who are playing in the big teams in the best leagues, they should be able to go very far in the World Cup, but unfortunately they haven't been able to. They only have success in competitions like this.
UEFA Nations League is another useless competition that only contributes to injuries and harms teams. With so many games, players will be exhausted and consequently teams will have a poor performance which makes predicting the results of games more difficult.
Many players have complained about it, but their complaint has fallen on deaf ears, and just as Kevin de Bruyne said, it is obvious that there are many money individuals behind it. That is why UEFA and FIFA have not cared to pay attention to the complaints of the players. Some clubs will suffer most because their players will be lacking rest due to the tight football schedule. Arsenal was almost a victim with Caliofori's injury scare, but luckily it was not serious. The score in Portugal against Scotland is 2-1, Ronaldo with the second goal that will give Portugal the victory here, his 901th career goal.
Portugal won again and the center of attention was only on Ronaldo

Sweden 3-0 Estonia
this guy:
Viktor Gyökeres
He is a good scorer, Sporting Portugal did well to keep him in the team and not sell him, as time goes by he could still have a high market value and many big teams could be after him.
Portugal won the match 2-1 with a last-minute goal from C.Ronaldo and is now the leader of the group.
Croatia beat Poland 1-0 at home with a goal from Luka Modric.
Spain won comfortably despite being down to 10 men in the 20th minute and won the match 4-1.
Türkiye-Iceland match tomorrow night.Uygulamak için tıkla. It should normally be an easy match for us but as long as Montella is at the helm of this team, none of our matches will be easy. Tomorrow we will most likely play without a striker again.

Quite some interesting fixtures last night. Cristiano Ronaldo knows how to do it (score), as he scored at a crucial moment to give his team all 3 points. Although I didn’t watch the game live, but I could hear my whole neighborhood scream during the Siu celebration. As for the Spain game, I think Switzerland tried to put up a tough fight, but Spain is called the defending champions for a reason. After Spain received a red card, the momentum of the game changed. Switzerland tried everything, but they just couldn’t capitalize on the red card advantage. Joselu's performance was incredible. With how he played, I think Madrid’s project still suits him, even though starting eleven is a doubt.
I just checked today’s fixtures, there are two games I am looking forward to. France vs Belgium and Norway vs Austria. These two games are worth watching out for. I don't really understand what's happening to Norway. They’ve always struggled to qualify for international competitions. They drew their last game, even though I was rooting for them to win. Austria is the underdog here, but they were impressive during the Euros. I can’t predict the outcomes of these two games, but I think I will watch one or maybe both at the same time.
Once again, Luis de la Fuentes proved to us why he is a great coach and Spain are just too much of a force to contend with. You know, I never doubted their ability to win the game especially as they quickly went two goals up in the early period of the game but that red card given Robin Le Normand was something I felt would demoralize them and make them lose focus especially as they were playing against a side who were furious over the fact that they lost two goals to Denmark and also two men to red cards but it wasn't to be because Spain showed class and dominance so that despite the red card situation, they managed to get four goals. A very commendable effort from both the players and the coach.
Hmmm, that's true mate!Spain are just humiliating the game. Everyone has a great day like every player has just dominated the game with great performance especially Yamal Jamal, F. Ruiz, Joselu and F. Torres etc. These are players who are just cooking the Switzerland.

But anyway Spain make them smashed with only 10 players and get the three points to become 2nd in the table standings.
But to be honest, the match was a joy to watch. I really enjoyed the match. Espana just smashed the Switzerland with a 4-1 banger.
Croatia beat Poland 1-0 at home with a goal from Luka Modric.
Modric scored the only goal in the match, which became the winning goal for Croatia. At his current age (39), he contributed a lot to his national team. He even played full time, even though when he was at the club, he rarely played full-time.

It is no surprise that in this match, he got a player rating of 9.0. He deserves for this, with how his efforts make the entire squad more confident in the future. Next, they will play against Scotland.
Well Portugal played with my nerves, as usual, when I wanted them to lose they lead from the first quarter with 2:0, and when I put one tiny bet on them they screw till the last minute

I do not like the Nations league but decided to test the waters yesterday and it was successful. I did the same thing today and won (thankfully). I missed the chance to bet on Portugal and Spain before both matches started. It didn't take long before spain was up 0-2. So I knew there was no way to bet on them. Portugal was down early and towards the end of half time, their odds had moved from 1.27 to close to 2 odds (1.95 odds to be exact) so I took the bet there along with a Croatia Moneyline bet.
Happy with the results but enjoyed watching Switzerland vs Spain more considering Spain added 2 more goals despite being a man down for most part of the game.

Fr, I had my misgivings about the Nations league in the past but these games definitely packs some action. I was fortunate to have seen the Switzerland vs Spain game and it gave me some Euro 2024 vibe especially as Spain was already up by 2 goals before the 15th minute and that early red card to Le Normand from Spain. From all those actions from Spain game to that late winner by Portugal from Ronaldo, I can say for a fact that I'm beginning to enjoy the Nations league but it's by no means anywhere close to club football, Euros or the world cup.

Spain showed their class 
This is what I can say when looking at Spain's performance today. They lost Robbin Le Normand in the first 20 minutes which indirectly changed their momentum where when the attacking pattern that was intertwined at the beginning of the first half was changed to a defensive scheme that was carried out.
But even though they did a defensive scheme, we can see how different the level is even the counterattack that they always do is very effective where from 9 chances that are shot, 8 of them are on target and 4 can be converted into goals.
This is a situation that I didn't expect because even though I felt that Spain would win this match (before the match started) but after the red card they received I didn't think that they would win by a significant score against Switzerland.
It's sad that Switzerland couldn't take advantage of the red card given to Spain and get goals because if it were any other team, I'm sure this opportunity won't pas them by but then this is Spain we're talking about and they have a tactical coach who doesn't take chances so I guess I understand why they couldn't break rgt the barrier This is what I can say when looking at Spain's performance today.

Two losses in two games isn't a record you want to go with if you are in a group that houses the likes of Spain, Denmark and Serbia. All these ones have points to their names and nothing to speak for when it comes to Switzerland and I'm willing to bet my money they'd not even make it out of the group stages.
The useless cup is back .
Well the nation league has a minor point.
When a team win the nation league but can't qualify to the world cup with the normal group stage it will go to the playoff stage.
Even the second team has a chance.

I was actually wishing to see Nagelsmann managing a club instead of a national team. Because there is a really nice trend of signing young managers for big clubs these days. However he is really doing great at Germany lately. He has changed the way this team play.
It looks like those good old days of Germany is back. The one which has no mercy on their opponents...Like this Hungary match. I love Nagelsmann football. He likes to dominate every match. I really liked his game against Spain in Euro 2024 also even though they got eliminated.
I bet you Hungary didn't expect to be punished by the number of goals and somehow they were expecting they could close down the goal deficit when the first one entered and I saw how their captain, Dominik Szoboslai ensured he make the team not lose their confidence but in football, there's just do much one person can do for the team and eventually he got worn out.
It was clear that Spain was going to win, they were the favorites, but Le Normand received an early red card that made me wonder if Switzerland would get a point from this match. This was a very important match for Spain, who also failed to get 3 points in the first match, and they won with four goals. They showed how strong they are, even though they played with one player less, they were the ones who scored the goals. I'm glad that happened because my bet was over 2.5 goals. Switzerland are a really good team, they could have taken something from this match but it didn't happen. This group is very difficult, Denmark are at the top right now.
Switzerland are a really good team, they could have taken something from this match but it didn't happen. This group is very difficult, Denmark are at the top right now. Switzerland wasn't in their best shape in tonight's game, even with the red card they could not get more than a goal against Spain and it's a shame to even lose by 4 goals to 1. Some teams don't deserve this kind of opportunities that's playing against 10 men, who would have believed that Spain would still be able to get more goals to make it 4?
I don't see Denmark staying at the top for long because they still haven't played against the best in their group which is Spain and when that time comes I expect to see a very serious battle between both teams, it is either Spain get their first loose or the Denmark side lose just as we saw Switzerland losing tonight because the way things are going the Spanish side are not in the mood to drop a single point and they're ready to take advantage of any opportunity they have.
