I don't remember watching such a boring international match recently. Nothing really happened in the second half of the game. The worst part is, if the game ends like this, we'll have to watch 30 minutes of extra time and maybe it will go to penalties. The players of Spain and Italy seem to be able to get over the tiredness of the season.
I don't understand why they do this tournament anyway. Just when the leagues are over, all the players are jamming the national matches while planning their vacations.

72' minutes on the clock and it is still a draw between both European Giants. The game is very tight at the moment and both teams have made some changes to try and tip the game in their favor and claim the winner before the end of regular time.
We could very well be in for a much longer night if the game remains as balanced as it is now.

Spain 1-1 Italy
56 minutes gone, it’s going exactly as I thought it would. Two good teams, very closely matched. A bit like Netherlands vs Croatia last night, I think this one is going to extra time.

Spain has the advantage, but the odds of the bookmakers at the moment seem strange to me:
2.68 - 1.98 - 6.20
There are at least 30 minutes ahead and I see no reason that someone will not be able to win, and the result is with 50/50 chances. Maybe betting on Italy at the moment makes sense.
But I also want extra time - so that the winner of this pair is tired and Croatia has an advantage in the final (one day more rest).

UEFA National League 2nd semi-final match is about to start between Spain vs Italy at De Grolsch Veste Stadium in Netherlands. Both teams are strong enough to put up a great fight and it's hard to say which team will win. But Spain is stronger than Italy and Spain has many good stars who can perform well. But I noticed Italy is ahead of Spain in FIFA ranking. So it cannot be said for sure which team will perform well in the field. Croatia and Netherlands played yesterday, Croatia won brilliantly. so today's match cannot be confirmed whether Spain will win or Italy will certainly try to perform well enough to win the two teams.
Modric has undoubtedly shown exceptional prowess and stamina, which has propelled him through the demanding season. I am waiting in anticipation for his decision about his national team career, hoping he doesn't hang up his boots just yet. Given Croatia's stellar performance and Modric's crucial role in it, I feel optimistic about their prospects in the final against Italy or Spain. The display they put up should indeed serve as a wake-up call to the opposition.
Croatia is a very strong team, they have consistently achieved good results over the years, at the World Cup they reached the semi-finals and lost to Argentina, and now in the League of Nations they reach the final.In the second semi-final, so far the score is a draw, but Spain looks more confident, the second half has begun and the most interesting is yet to come. I would probably like to see Italy in the final, but something tells me that Spain will reach the final.
The first half of the game has come to an end, and the score is tied. Each team had their fair share of dominance during different parts of the half. At the beginning, the Italians were in control, while the Spaniards posed a greater threat in the second half. With both teams finding the back of the net early on, I anticipated a much more thrilling continuation. However, things didn't pan out that way. It started off with promise, but later became rather dull. Both teams have been a bit disappointing thus far, and unless there are some changes in their performance, Croatia will enter the final as the favorites.
Really good match so far in the first half. We have seen a lot of good chances and shots on both sides. Small offside also costed Italy the lead in the first half. Spain is really weak in defence in first half all balls coming through the middle and if it wasnt for Var Italy would have leaded the match

This match will be played between two equal teams. Spain and Italy want to win, they need the trophy to justify their recent World Cup failures. But I cannot name a favourite for the match. Besides, the season is over - the players will be tired. And the Italians have participated in all European cup finals. So I choose here a bet - draw.
The result of the draw is very close, but the Italians need to win this match, and they have only 45 minutes left to do something that helps them reach the Spanish goal. I checked the live betting agents and found that they offer good odds at 4.5. Last night, I lost a ticket that was in favor of Croatia, so I believe that betting in favor of Italy might be beneficial.

It is halftime and there is a 1-1 tie in the Spain v Italy match now. Spain have been statistically the better side to tell the truth. They have had more dangerous attacks, had many more passes and many goal attempts whose half was shots on target. It is of course normal to see Spain having the most ball possession and control like this as we are used to seeing it in majority of their matches. But things are still going on nice for Italy side. They were able to answer Spain's early goal in a really short time.
If this match goes to extra time who knows maybe Italy can also do what Croatia did last night.

I'm waiting patiently to watch the game, looking at their statistics, they both have what it takes to be in the final but only one club will qualify to face Croatia. The national league game is becoming more fascinating as top countries fight, and we all know that the best team wins at the end of the day.The major game tonight is Spain vs. Italy in the Nations League semi-finals. Both countries match their balance strength, spain manager, Luis de la Fuente will do his best to eliminate Italy coach, Roberto Mancini, which will be a difficult task. It's difficult to predict the outcome, but I've placed my wager on the match, a GG, and Spain earning the three points to claim the championship.
Just like yesterday's game, Spain and Italy game will be a strong game. Croatia yesterday were very patient passing the ball around, Spain have a habit of passing the ball around and they can be patient until they worked the ball to find the goal. The Italians on their own side post their own threats, if the Spanish players make a mistakes there are many Italian players that are available to punish them for it. There are a lot of experienced players in both teams from defence to midfield to the attack. It is difficult to pick a winner, but Spain will win it from what I think. 
It's hard to pick a clear favorite for the match between Spain and Italy. Bookmakers give more chances to Spain and I also bet on the team of coach Luis de la Fuente to win. In the last head-to-head competition, the Spanish national team ended a glorious 37-match unbeaten Italies streak. It is also worth noting that in 10 of Spain's last 12 matches, the half-time score (win/draw/loss) was also the final score. Odd @4.0 for the halftime lead and the Spaniards win seems very attractive to me.
For me the favorite is Spain,i dont like how Italy plays lately and i think they will lose this match. Still anything could happen because the club season has ended and a lot of the players are really tired so because of this i think we might have a lot of goals like in the match between Netherlands and Croatia.I personally don't really consider their head to head result because I think, it's a record that happened in the past because I believe the past and this moment seem to have a difference. Thus, I personally predict that this match will run tough which means, I'm sure there won't be many goals scored in this match. Because in my view, these two teams have been playing more defensively lately and thus, when they get a goal they will quickly change their playing style to be more defensive. So yes, that way it will be difficult for the team that is left behind to score a goal back and even though they can score a goal and so on, they will only play more carefully so that no more goals are scored.
What was passing through Koeman's mind? I still couldn't understand. In extra time De Jong played as a centre-back and Virgil van Dijk played as a centre-forward. While Netherlands got this much close to winning a trophy home after long years it was a fiasco for them to concede 4 goals from Croatia.
When it comes to Croatia they are maintaining their amazing performance. One should raise their hat to 37-year-old Modric for staying on the field for 120 minutes and shining like a star.

Modric is in great shape even after such a tough season. How much strength does he have
By the way, as I understand it, if Croatia lost today, then we would know Modric's decision regarding the national team - he said that he had already made a decision, but would publish it after the League of Nations. I hope he doesn't retire from the national team this summer.
Good that I have seen football to watch for the mean time before seasons starts.
Please who has the remaining fixtures so that I will know how to watch.

The players of both teams are equally good with pretty good flying hours so I can't say for sure who will win this match.Judging from the FIFA rankings, Italy is ranked #8 while Spain is ranked #10, but that is not a reference to say Spain is an easy team to beat Italy.
Referring to the last match of these two teams on October 7 2021, Spain was able to win 1-2 at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. The statistics at that time Spain were far superior, starting from the percentage of ball possession to the total shots.
As usual, Italy must be able to keep Spain from dominating the game with longer ball possession if they want to win.
Conversely, Spain also should not follow the playing style of Italy.
For me, both teams will need to anticipate to avoid quick goals.
It's hard to pick a clear favorite for the match between Spain and Italy. Bookmakers give more chances to Spain and I also bet on the team of coach Luis de la Fuente to win.
