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.

Unlike many fans and bettors. I was also one of those who predicted Spain would win over Serbia from the start but I didn't think it would be 3-0 so I only bet on Spain winning on the 1x2 bet type.
Playing defensively against a team with a style of play like Spain is not easy to succeed.
Against Spain with that style of play then the strategy is the same as usual without having to follow their game.
Spain's win over Serbia made it easier for them in the group.

The most interesting match of the night was played in Poland. Poland was ahead 1-0 at the beginning of the match, but Croatia scored the first goal in the 19th minute, then scored 2 more goals and the match suddenly became 1-3 in the 26th minute. In the last minute of the first half, Zalewski made the score 2-3.

In the second half, Szymanski made the score 3-3 and Poland started chasing the victory.
Livakovic made a very interesting decision and was kicked out of the game as a result of a red card. I watched the position over and over again, but I didn't understand why he received a red card. He interfered with Lewandowski after interfering with the ball, but I don't understand what warranted a red card.
 Croatia played the remaining 20 minutes with 10 players, but still managed to draw.

Yes, we performed well in the Nations League. As a country, we are proud of our players. Also, the fact that most of them are young makes us very happy. We still have a striker problem and if we had a striker like Haaland or Sorloth, we could play much better. Although we have no alternatives in the forward area, I think we are fighting very well. Another area of ​​the team that we need to pay attention to is the defense area. We make critical mistakes in defense in all the matches we play. Our attacking area is really high quality, but I also think that if we have two good defenders, we can be among the big teams.

The saddest thing was that all through the game Portugal seemed to have control but threw away most of their chances and up until the 88th minutes, had the belief that they could do something and could have if Ronaldo didn't let the ball touch his hand while he was trying to take the shot that could have given them the winning but the shot too went astray and he began complaining like a baby and I was wondering why he had to do that when through out the game they could have gotten more goals from Scotland.

Before the match I thought Spain was going to struggle but just before 5 minutes Spain scored and that early goal made things more easier for them, Serbia intention was to sit back and counter attack when they can, the early goal spoilt their game plan and they where forced to come out and that was exactly what Spain wanted. The Spain team was without Yamine yamal and Nico Williams yesterday so I thought it was going to be difficult for them but you can just take anything off this Spain team. Spain dominated the game all through and had a comfortable win even though Alvaro morata missed a penalty in the early second half but after 10minutes later he got his goal and Spain become more comfortable in the game.

It got worse for Serbia when pavlovic was red carded in the 76 minutes and less than 4 minutes after the card Spain made it 3 for the night, I will say this Spanish team are one of the best if not the best international team in Europe right now, they play comfortably and score with ease. Match ended 3-0 and the Spanish team deserve the win.

Yes, at first I thought Cristiano Ronaldo and his friends would win the match against Scotland because Portugal always appeared impressive in their matches and in their last meeting against Scotland Portugal managed to win the match with a score of 2-1 and honestly I bet on Portugal winning because I thought that in the match these two against Scotland will make Portugal win again against Scotland because in their last match Scotland were defeated by Croatia which makes me confident that Scotland will be defeated by Portugal.

Yes, usually Cristiano Ronaldo always scores goals but in this match he really couldn't score. I also don't understand this match because Portugal, which attacks a lot, should be able to score goals, but of course this proves that Scotland has a strong defense so making it very difficult for Portugal to score against Scotland.

Yes, indeed, the Scottish defender was really optimal and good at blocking Portugal's attacks and of course Gordon was very instrumental for Scotland because he desperately defended the Scottish goal and to be honest, I was also amazed at Gordon's ability, he really showed his good abilities, yes, now he is Scotland. managed to get 1 point and Portugal won 1 point. Yes, of course many gamblers thought that Portugal would win this match. And I was also one of the people who failed in betting.

Portugal is so terrible in this game. They lacked motivation, confidence, and proper finishing in this game. And i give credit to Scotland, who defended very well against them, also not playing a dirty game, i.e. wasting time. And i don't know why others were thinking the ref was killing the game. But, for me, he looks very fair to both of clubs.

There's a very interesting moment. Ronaldo got angry when he was subbed off. He looked like a petulant man-child. And unbelievable to see A washed-up player, Bruno Fernandes, played 90 minutes. He did nothing in this game.

This draw helped Scotland to avoid the worst results by getting five straight defeats in a row. A big result for scottland.

Spain team is the most attacking and well performing team this season. From the start of this match, Spain team has performed quite strongly, as so far they hold the top position of the League A Group 4 points table.
 There was no attack early in this match, but the intensity of the attack increased after halftime. And after Serbia defender Strahija pavlovic was sent off in the second half, Spain became more aggressive. And in the last minute, Spain won by 3-0.

The Spain team is very strong at the moment. The squad lacks experienced players. But there are plenty of talented players in the squad. And they are able to perform well. With the help of la Fuente, the Spain team is now very strong. He has been able to strengthen the bonding between the squad players. This is why this team is able to play consistently well.

Yamal was not present in the match due to injury. Nevertheless, Spain's overall performance was very composed. Morata failed to score from the penalty opportunity. However, Morata scored another goal in the 64th minute. In the end, the Spanish team won with a margin of 3-0.

Most gamblers will definitely bet on Portugal to win the game against Scotland because they are the favorite team to win and also they have  been performing well in the UEFA Nation league as they are at the top in there group in group A.

I will say Portugal were unlucky to win against Scotland yesterday as they dominated the game both first and second half of the game just that they were unable to score a single goal after several goal attempt.

There next match against Poland will be an easy win for Portugal as they have won Poland before in there last week winning Poland 3-1 I still believe they will beat Poland again in there next match, I believe where they have a tough game will be there match with Croatia the game will be tough and interesting and entertaining to watch.

Yes, Spain played brilliantly in this match and had a strong attack which led to a 3-0 win over Serbia. A first half goal was scored early in the game despite a well contested game between Serbia and Spain. However, Spain managed to score two more goals in the second half after a strong attack, although the team was weakened when a Serbian player was sent off after receiving a red card. Spain are still unbeaten with this win against Serbia and their current squad is really strong, but if they win their next matches they will end this round as an unbeaten team. Spain finish their campaign against Denmark and Switzerland in this round, although I think Spain has the best chance of winning between these two teams.
