International Games Prediction Thread

[Zlatna Kopa4ka]

International games, especially when they are friendly are very hard to predict. I mean, come on, Portugal lost 0-3 to the Netherlands, not saying they are a bad team but three goals? Again today Spain demolished Argentina with six goals, horrendous. The games are either a draw with 0 to 2 goals or a 3+. Personally I would not bet on these types of games, I stay away from them, maybe a small bet on the favorites to win. Mainly that is that. Tomorrow I don't think the male international soccer teams play, so no predictions.

Some games ended pretty unexpectedly,but so high win of Spain against Argentina is certainly the biggest surprise.I'm not sure whether anything would be different if Messi played,but if team is depends only on one man then they have a big problem.

Germany was defeated by Brazil after eight games in a row without defeat,but each series must end one day.This is somehow a little satisfaction for Brazil after that very painful defeat in 2014 World Cup when they lost 7-1 in semi-final match.

I was thinking that Mexico will easy win against Croatia since they missed few important players,but although Mexico had dominance in possession of the ball (64-36),Croatia is score from penalty kick and win this game.I guess they just park the bus and play defense,and in such a game we can not expect a lot of goals.

I didn't hear about that the Croatian players have returned back to their club until you say so then I looking for more info aand yeah it's confirmed that 6 star players like Luca modric , mandzukic who will play at champions league next week has sent back to Europe . Also considering an American teams have a good statistics beating European teams, I'll go for Mexico !

It is a very strange decision from national football federation of Croatia,it seems that the interests of the some clubs are more important than national interests,even if it's about friendly matches.Six players who will not play against Mexico : Modric, Mandzukic, Perisic, Kalinic, Subasic&Brozovic.For the powerful Mexico this should be lighter training and odds are going down on Mexico win.

I believe in the victory of Mexico in this game,although we should always be cautious with this friendly games.No one think that the Netherlands would so convincingly win over Portugal.

Well that kind situation actually could be a practice in case key players aren't available to play and guess Croatia did it , they managed to win it even underpressure for 90 minutes . Not sure if it was a luck or a working strategy. Another unexpected result Argentina got "gang banged" by Spain , it supposed be a tight game but Isco ruined it all , a nightmare for sports bettor around the world.

Spain 6-1 Argentina. My eyes are still hard to believe seeing the score, but that is the reality, Argentina was destroyed by Spain. Again and again, playing without Messi, Argentina are playing poorly, losing to a score of that magnitude is not Argentina it should be. They still rely on Messi. If there is Messi does not mean Argentina will not lose, but I'm sure they will not lose like that if there Messi play.

it was really a humiliating defeat. Argentina has great talented players (especially in attack with Messi, Aguero, Higuain, Dybala, Di Maria) but can not express it.
even in the qualifying he made so many bad matches risking to be eliminated.
I do not think that Argentina will win the next world cup.

Lionel Messi was able to get a hattrick as Argentina pummeled Haiti to a 4-0 victory with Sergio Aguero getting on the score sheet as well. In other news Ghana managed to beat World Cup bound Japan to 2-0 victory.

UEFA Nations league starts today. Here are all groups:

Teams which will win A, B, C, D group will get spot in Euro 2020. This tournament was created to replace friendly games mainly. What are your thoughts about it, will you watch this tournament. Today we will have interesting match between France and Germany.

[swogerino]

Interesting is to see that League C does not have many difference between the teams there and any team can win it from what I see. I see this League as the most equilateral  one and I think these teams although not of the highest quality may produce some beautiful games to watch on TV.

Beside that in any group there is a good chance to make money as International games are easier to predict.

League D is an embarrassment, who's going to watch those games? LOL

I really like this Nations League, we won't have those stupid friendlies (like Germany vs San Marino, with a ridiculous 8-0 score) but actually competitive games, it incentives teams to use their best squads as the top teams wouldn't want to get relegated and smaller teams are going to fight for a spot in a higher division.

Looking forward to the Germany vs France game today, and also Wales vs Ireland. There's also a friendly today between Portugal vs Croatia, not bad either.

Still we will had matches like Germany vs San Marino, because Euro/World Cup qualifiers will still remain. Euro 2020 qualification will start next year.
In Nations league there are already few unexpected results like Italy vs Poland 1:1, but it's not sensational score. Best match of today is England vs Spain.

Germany-France 0-0 but game was really good .One time again Germany has no striker
Italy-Poland Poland was better in first half .It was debut of new polish coach coach without experience.A little boring game  and yet another Italy poor effort

This competition is setup something like CL and EL. Mainly cuz teams get money for win and draw in this competition. Second there are two ways to get in euro next year. First one is to get to be winner in every group except in D ranks, so A,B and C winners play playoff and every winner is automatically in EURO. Also this competition is mainly for all team to play with teams that are equal to them, off course if they win they automatically go in next group from B to A , C to B and D to C. Maybe this could be good competition but this could be with some good matches in all groups. After all this could be good competition.

This competition is a good idea from UEFA in order to keep people entertained with football, make teams play in very balanced groups and give them some chance to go in the EURO from this tournament. It is good to see this format, kinda like you say like the Champions League and Europa League tournaments , only with national teams here but divided in groups with teams from same or almost same quality.

I'll give credits to Germany for holding the game, after their disastrous World Cup performance not many would have thought they would manage a draw. It's pertinent to note here France seemed to lack the spark that saw them lift the cup, so didn't quiet enjoy the match. I'm surprised you were expecting Italy match to be interesting, it'll take quiet a while before we see that. In other results England not only lost the match, but the injury to Shaw is bad, that lad is finally realising his potential last thing he needs an injury.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Only 1 more week of this rubbish until we can get back to the proper stuff Hopefully no injuries to Liverpool players

[White sugar]

Not even the players care about this, as you can see by the Germany vs France game. I want the true games back

[swogerino]

Good games today but the most important game I think to be France vs Holland, the Holland team has done a great effort to go up in quality after they have been beaten two times in the World Cup group from France. This time will be a bit different but I think that since France didn't win the first game they should win this one. I prefer a safe bet of under 2.5 goals for this game.

[tomahawk9]

Not even the players care about this, as you can see by the Germany vs France game.

So just because of one shitty game, you now know players don't care about the Nations League? Do you actually think they don't care playing for the NT? Do you think Mancini (Italy coach) doesn't care about making his official debut with NT? or do you think the french players didn't want to make a good first impression with the brand new WC Star on their t-shirts? If Deschamps or Low didn't care about the games, they wouldn't play with their first teams.

And the England vs Spain made it pretty clear that the players care about this thing, you could see how frustrated some english players were when they were losing    In the long run, these games matter, NT need play time, the coaches need their players every now and then so he explain tactics and whatnot and they need to see this stuff on the pitch aganist decent rivals, otherwise, we'll see shitty performance from them in the big stages (like Germany or Brazil in the last WC).

Tonight a very interesting game is to take place with Spain playing at home against one of the finalist of the World Cup 2018 , Croatia. I think that this game will end in a draw although the bookies keep Spain as a heavy favourite. Spain is not what it used to be just a few years ago with their attack being far from shinning.

Very interesting game .Croatia will play without Mandzukic he will not play anymore for Croatia.i think 2-1 Spain Spain needs to win

Notice that Lewandowski will not play in today friendly game Poland-Ireland
I will not expect many goals if Zielinski will also not play than Polish attack will have big problems

Spain-Croatia 6-0 Armagedon
Asensio is playing fantastic game.Luis Enrique hasy his great day

[LTU_btc]

Spain trashed Croatia 6:0. It was real Furia Roja Absolute dominance. Assensio - 2 goals and 3 assists. Modric and Rakitic was invisible tonight.
And it seems that Iceland football dream come to the end - not impressive performance in World Cup and now they conceded 9 goals in just 2 games of Nations league.
What I can say - A division and some B division matches are really interesting to watch. C division is for these who want to watch mediacore football. And D division - I watched one game and my eyes were hurt watching this amateur football
