France 0-1 Croatia

Today I am enjoying the match of France VS Croatia. My prediction is that the match will be drawn 1-1 or 2-2. But in the first 5 minutes of the match, Croatia got a 1-0 lead by scoring a goal from the penalty spot. Since Croatia got the lead at the beginning of the match. So now they will play completely defensively and try to end the match 1-0. It will be more difficult for France to draw or win the match.

France fell behind at the beginning of the match and I'm no longer surprised. It's going to be an unexpected tournament for them though. They collapsed morally. Even if they turn this match, they don't have a chance in the group because Denmark is doing very well. Denmark took the lead by scoring two goals early. Jonas Older Wind and Andreas Skov Olsen scored very elegant goals. Denmark will be very comfortable in the leadership seat if the matches end like this.

I'm really surprised to see this result at the moment. Hope that France will do something in the second half in way to end the match at least with a draw. It is really strange for them to lose against a team like Croatia.

C'mon mbappè

and again something unexpected happened, on paper Portugal should have won the match because the quality of their players was better but the results were different. conceded in the early minutes and Portugal was unable to reply, no goals were created again until the end of the match 1-0 for Switzerland's victory.
I lost my bet again.
I really don't understand why strong teams lose so often in this UEFA Nations League tournament.

Same thoughts. And to be honest, I thought that maybe without Ronaldo, the Portuguese team would show a more relaxed game and win again.
On the one hand, such results allow you to make money on bets on outsiders, but apart from betting, you want to watch intense games of motivated teams, and not friendly games where teams play poorly even if the game is of great tournament importance.

They play more rotations and it's true that without Ronaldo as a pedestal and the captain there makes their balance a little less. but on the other hand this is also quite good because indeed they have to start getting used to this kind of thing because indeed Ronaldo will not be in the team forever as a player so they really need to get used to it from now on.

[püsür]

I am a person who really likes the Czech Republic. Although Czechia lost the game, there is actually a recovery in the mentality of their game. They rejuvenated well as a team. When it comes to Spain, it is already a country of school football. Enrique coach made the team both young and competitive. I think it is among the surprise favourites before the world cup. Football played by countries such as Spain, Portugal and Brazil is called technical. The men not only pass traffic, but also play on the spot, correct ball controls, hitting techniques are good... I expect Spain to improve much more, their future seems bright yet again.

[Slow death]

The line-up is out and I'm sure the duo of Benzema and Mbappe will overwhelm the Croatian defense. other than that in this match francis is the host. my prediction final score is 3-0 for francis win

France 0 - 1 Croatia



France can't even score at least 1 goal, this situation is very regrettable, that way they will lose and so I say again that with this bad performance France won't get far in the world cup. they need to change coach, something needs to be done urgently for them to have good results


Iceland 1 - 1 Israel

i expected israel to win this game, but from what i see the game could end in a draw

Denmark 2 - 0 Austria

Denmark will win this game

The boring French game is back in this match.
They were in control of the game as well as the chances but they couldn't create anything interesting and it's like a flurry in front of Croatia's goal now.
now the minutes have shown 70 minutes of running time and this looks like it will be another defeat against france and they will sink further into the bottom of group A 1 standings.

[ingiltere]

Why do you watch France game anyway? Denmark is playing way better and I rather watch them than to watch French struggle. Denmark defend with five when needed and one of wing backs join attack in front, they play this mentality by heart. It worked so good so far and their leadership in the group is not a surprise. They earned it. Even in their loss against Croatia they didn't play bad. After fourth games they have the leverage and I believe they will finish this group first.

[Iranus]

It should be an embarrassment for France to be last in a not-so-difficult group. It can be accepted if their opponents are at the same level as them, but there is a serious classification difference between them. Who knows what they would have done if they were in Group 2.
Today, they have a chance to win against Croatia and make the audience forgive themselves at home. But I don't think they have a chance to be the leader in this group. Denmark is currently the team that looks the most advantageous.

France is one of the concerns at the moment for this poor result is it just bad luck or they just don't care even though this competition has an impact on their ranking in FIFA
There is no other choice France must win today to chase points from 3 matches only collect 2 points really unthinkable performance as the 3rd ranked  in FIFA
Should have played in front of their fans then there is no reason for France to lost any more points.

You know at first I thought France is not going to have any problems being at the top of this group but they did not prove to be the best team among them.

I also don't think that they will be able to win against Croatia because Croatia is a good team and I know that this is mostly a friendly tournament but still they should have performed better in my opinion. And if I know anything I know that Croatia is not going to take this match lightly.

87 Minutes ongoing France 0 : 1 Croatia

Why do they have to change coach? Have you not seen the lineup? It's clear that the team does not value the trophy. There has been rotation in every game, and he is using this tournament to pick his team for the upcoming World Cup. I would advise everyone to avoid betting on this team; I've been going against them the last two games, and it has worked for me. I had a feeling Croatia would score. The French team has been terrible.

Another great night for me!! Great odds.

What's your take on France - Croatia and Denmark - Austria? I fancy,Croatia over 0.5 goals @1.81 odds and (Denmark - Austria) Under 2.5 goals FT. @1.89

I was quite surprised by the final result of Croatia vs Francis (The match stats show the incredible france struggle), the penalty that Croatia got at minute 5 'is a very big luck

even though I lost the bet (only lost a few bucks) but I also enjoyed the match well

I absolutely agree that France don't even care about the Nations League now. I don't even give a chance to Croatia normally in a game like this. France wouldn't most probably manage to qualify for next stage here. Great job by Croatia of course as it was still not a very easy victory for them. I liked your logic in your parlay by the way. It was logical to bet on Croatia's goal while there is a France like this. Denmark - Austria must be really worrying for you as two goals came very early in the game.

Yeah, I was sweating until the end of the game because Denmark's attack was always looking dangerous whenever the ball was on Ericksen's feet! Did you see Ericksen's woodwork in the first 85 minutes? I was on the verge of passing out. BTW, it was a fantastic game, with both teams playing fantastic attacking football.

[MK-74]

I guess everyone agrees. I think this league is not important for France and they see the matches in this league as a friendly match for themselves.
I think the Croatia won the match easily.

karin benzema was playing, mbappe was playing, why would they be playing if the goal was to lose the game? the truth is that they lost because they are weak and not necessarily because they are not worrying about this competition, let's be realistic here, if france were strong even their B team would have good results, but france even playing with their best players who score goals failed to score at least 1 goal. let's go:

4 games = 3 goals scored

Seriously? Will anyone still believe that this result is why france doesn't care about this competition? but france have benzema and mbappe

[Sirait]

I saw the match trailer on youtube and it looks like benzema and mbappe are not working together!! (I'm sure if you saw it) Both players are the best strikers in the world at the moment and they seem to be showing off against each other, this is what made Croatia win. as long as mbappe and benzema don't get along, France will only lose.

[snipie]

France - Croatia is interesting although odds seem weird 1.48 for France vs 7 for Croatia. I mean France wasn't good in this tournament nor convincing!

Bookies backed France with a large odds but Croatia turned to be the winner multiplying the stake of the lucky bidders by 7! Incredible how France team is humiliating themselves.. Even if this isn't an important competition for them, they shouldn't act like that.. 2 points in 4 matches?

[Ratash]

Even if they are not interested in this competition this result is inexeptable for a world champion, if their opponents deserved to win these game i would not be surprised but they have been dominating and they were not able to get any win in four consecutive games two losses at home and two draws away with this poor performance they won't last long in the world cup.

France did not just fail to qualify for the next stage of the UEFA Nations League, and France is two steps away from relegation from Group A of the tournament. It's funny enough when the French national team, which itself won the UEFA Nations League last season, is now on the verge of relegation from the elite division. I understand that in your opinion, the prestige of the title of the current world champion and the national team itself does not matter to the French national team. Or does it still have? I personally am not so sure, it's just a combination of circumstances and I think that the French national team will make every effort in September to partially correct the situation and at least get out of last place in their group.

[Velvet78]

It was an awkward day in my opinion. Denmark did the expected thing by defeating Austria actually but France had really serious problems on having a favorable result in their home game. Croatia benefited from this opportunity in a great way by defeating them 1-0. This must be absolutely because of their not seeing this tournament as very important for themselves. Otherwise I would say that France should have won this game one way or another. France are really not a team to believe in here now.
