eight more games till finish line
Denmark is my pick for tonight, France won over Austria to overcome them on the table, but still not secure from relegation, but other way around, Austria need to win over Croatia to get over France, in case France does not win

and most probably Croatia will win over Austria, which put France on rest, and Denmark do not need this win, but will try to get scalp of big team

Netherlands should proceed from other group, but expect goals, I cannot predict outcome of their duel with Belgium

France maybe cannot do anything to get to the top of the group but a win can do good to them for the World Cup starting in November.I know Denmark needs the win more as they maybe thinking a win from them and a draw from Croatia would put them to the top of the group but this is a double edged sword,once they go hard in attack they are left behind vulnerable and France doesn't make mistakes in such situations they usually score,they have big names in their team compared to Denmark that is why I have got for France tonight.

Netherlands should win but as I said a lot of goals are predicted.

[Harkorede]

Also Spain lost today it's first place in the group so a lot of upset and important teams who lost points in last 2 days but it's kinda normal with WC approaching and UCL and internal competitions are having an impact on every player but not on Portugal it seems as this squad is working like clockwork and I if they keep this pace for WC they might have a deep run.

Ripping all of my bets for the weekend, I was so so confident of them I decided to put them in several multibets and lost everything, ML lost, score over 1.5 lost, even lost a booking point item as they somehow didn't get even a yellow card lol.

Portugal are so far the only "big team" to look like they enjoy scoring goals, and they're Spain's next opponent so I feel the odds are quite unfair as they're still the favorite?

I've literally given up at least at this point on any other fixture from this break, I'd probably just see a few of them more but I'd be having no dime on the line, way too many inconsistencies to keep up with.

I've seen a couple of people talk about the potential upsets that might happen in the upcoming World Cup, I might have to add this, I'm all ready for it, there's no big team out there right now that is worth putting the cards on.

[Unknown01]

For example, Turkey will win against the Faroe Islands and the odds are >1.3 and higher 

Generous odds for Turkey playing against part time dentists and bricklayers. -1.5 handicap look tasty at 2 odds... Turkey have secured promotion to League B in the previous match so today they're going with a B team in the starting 11, still, it's a winnable match

I just checked out the starting players and most of the players are actually good ones. Therefore I see a handicap result for Turkey as realistic. I'll be watching with interest, I've already placed my bet on Handicap!

Austria Croatia is also interesting from the odds because I expect Croatia to draw or win. double Chance for croatia is maybe a good idea 

So I really have nothing to say, Faroe Islands are 2-0 up and I'm really wondering if I should just stop betting? 

[BitcoinAccepted]

Many people will probably have missed it, but in league C Faroe Islands are ahead against Turkey with 1-1. That is one of the lowest ranked countries worldwide. Not even semi-pros. This will be a shame if Turkey doesn't win this. And a draw is also quite a let down actually. Maybe Turkey doesn't take it all that seriously and meanwhile we still don't see many goals tonight. France is also still 2-0 behind, so I don't think a win is possible anymore. They will be happy if they pull out another 2-2 draw. You don't go to the World Cup with a good feeling like this.
EDIT: I see Turkey is now 2-0 down. What would be the odds for that?

[CLS63]

Denmark - France is going on very surprisingly. Denmark are still in the lead by 2-0 thanks to the goals they scored in five minutes in the first half. I was expecting a clear France win in this one. Because technically there is still a possibility for Austria to leave them behind and get rid of relegating. It is still very difficult for Austria to win against Croatia though. France still have a big chance to stay in League A.

Netherlands - Belgium match still continues to be the most boring match of the night unlike the expectations.    It is still the only match there is no goal in. It doesn't seem like Belgium really want the lead. I must have thought very positive about them that I picked a 3-1 win for them in the pool.

[boltz]

There were 24 corners in Denmark-France and that is crazy because it means around 3 corners on every 10 minutes ...and whoever had bets in corners , I'm sure that he is more than satisfied. Overall, Denmark played better today and deserve to win but Mbappe had 2 great scoring chances in order to make it draw but Schmeichel is a great goalkeeper and we can't deny it. Also Erikssen did a huge game today as he ran a lot and also had great positioning and creating space for his team. 

[swogerino]

I didn't expect Poland to win and I thought a draw would come in as a minimum,they ruined my night otherwise I would have got near 5 points but now I got only 2.5 points,I don't care much as I knew I would not finish in the top 5 finishing positions but I thought Wales should have been able to equalize.

France what a shameful performance,having players like Mbappe in your team should make a difference while clearly it did not here.I got at least two results the Croatian win and the Netherlands win.It is finishing now but the Nations League showed really bad football from the so called top teams.

[LTU_btc]

Probably I should stop betting on Nations League - I had 4 bets today and lost all. I had under 2.5 in Austria - Croatia game and when 2 goals in 9 minutes were scored I already knew that it will not pass. Over 2.5 in Netherlands - Belgium and there is just 1 goal scored. BTTS in Denmark - France and France failed to score. Slovakia ML against Belarus and they failed to beat team which didn't even played football today. Didn't made bet on this game, but c'mon, Turkey losing against Faroe Islands... Can't wait until end of international break.
Strangely I'm not doing that bad in predictor, I even managed to get up by 1 place, despite that I forgot to leave picks on Saturday's games and now I share 1st place with @ILuckyGuyI

[Rabi3]

Aren't France the world cup champions ? and Aren't they the 2nd favorite to win the world cup this year ? so what does it mean that they lost multiple matches ended up placing third in their group against not really big teams considering the fact that France are the world champions.

[ILuckyGuyI]

I'm very regretful about changing my 2-1 Poland win pick.    There was some kind of a feeling inside me later that Wales would get a dramatic win by the same score but it wouldn't be enough for moving on in the same league. But Poland didn't leave their job to chance and defeated them 1-0. It cost me 1.5 points as a result.

Netherlands - Belgium match was another shocker for me as I believed in Belgium to get a win here even if they wouldn't manage to qualify for the playoffs. They actually had many opportunities to enter the match again but were able to score none of them. Even a 1-1 draw would be useful. Now I understand why bookmakers were favouring Netherlands instead.

I had conflicting feelings today, wanted my Croatia to win so we get to that final four but at the same time I wanted France to drop to lower tier. They did not deserve to stay up with performances like these and it would be sort of poetic to give England company in lower division.

I believe everybody is aware that France national team is worth more then teams of Croatia, Denmark and Austria combined but to put things into even better perspective France has 2M registered football players just on men's side. That is half of the whole Croatian population so it is probably fair to say that they have same amount of footballers like we have men in our country.

My mistake was putting Spain on everything, I just felt the way Barca was playing would translate enough into their players, but then didn't realize as a team would be so shit lol

I got Spain to win in World Cup but they are not the favorites, which team do you think? Big underdog?

50/50 game, imo. Fun fact: head-to-head record since 2012: five consecutive draws  👀

Did not realize that about Spain/Portugal wow. Maybe I should put a draw down on them on a bet...

And Turkey B team lose to bricklayers, I wouldn't have been shocked to see A team lose!

Problem is Portugal is pragmatic team and draw is enough for them. They will defend and wait for opening, if it comes great, if it doesn't, main thing is to keep clean sheet.

Couple of solid bets today for me, I believe France and Croatia are much closer to wins today so I decided on tripple with x2 on those two games plus both to score on Netherlands - Belgium match.

So a draw it is for Spain

France are shit, Croatia winning games and scoring, Belgium cannot score against weak Holland team?

It means that they did not took it that seriously the Nations League.Despite losing so many games they will still be in league A in Nations League even for the next year while Austria will be relegated to league B and Croatia will move further to the play offs.

I understand your frustration and it is the same as mine as I did bet on France to win the game yesterday and despite Mbappe having really flagrant chances to score twice he missed both of them.If the game between Denmark vs France was to be played for a World Cup event I am sure the result of the game would be much different.This result shows that big teams don't care much about this competition.

[Trofo]

Today I am putting extra big bet on England - Germany both to score. This game means nothing to either of them, England is relegated and Germany can't win the group. But England must show something to improve the mood before World Cup while Germany would be happy to add few more nails to their coffin.

Really need one win in this competition to offset all the loses   stll can't belive Belgium or France didn't score yesterday.

A lot of friends and people I know are all predicting a draw with goals for this game but seeing the last game of Germany makes me wonder if they can score.Then I think of England pathetic performance so far where they conceded 7 goals so this should make sure that Germany will be able to score against them.I wonder if England will score though as they have only scored one goal in this league but the funny thing,they have scored it against Germany,this means your bet should be an easy win.

The pool is on fire with 3 candidates to fight for the top spot and a couple of others for the remaining ones while only 4 games remain including these two of tonight.

Belgium was a killer yesterday, 1 goal on that match was really unexpected

France was not that unexpected, Denmark win was best part of my betting yesterday

regarding England and Germany, not sure, but Italy @1.95 looks interesting, Hungary had their moment, but it is coming to an end

[Hyphen(-)]

Today I am putting extra big bet on England - Germany both to score. This game means nothing to either of them, England is relegated and Germany can't win the group. 

England has a very good-looking squad, but their performance in the current National League is shockingly bad; they haven't won a match since the start of their group stage, have only two draws, and have lost three of their five opening matches.
Germany is not at the top, but they will hope to win in order to gain more points if Italy loses to Hungary.

But England must show something to improve the mood before World Cup while Germany would be happy to add few more nails to their coffin.

They need a win against their world cup preparations as well as to inspire confidence in their fans ahead of the world cup letter this year.

I also had 4 bets and lost 3. Only one I won was Faroe Islands. There was obviously something hugely wrong with Turkish National team. I even heard they might lost on purpose so the Turkish football federation people would resign, nevertheless this is an extreme thought. This Nations League is not so welcomed by players, I think. Most of the teams have had weird results, of course weirdest would be Faroe Islands. And I also lost my bet on France. Denmark once again showed that the Euro 2020 semi-final was not a coincidence. They managed to beat France in both matches in the group. I was expecting France to be the better team in that game and I failed.

And here comes another drama unfolding, Germany looking likely to steal the win with a 2 goals lead early enough into the second half, but what could be worse than Germany giving it all up within just 10 minutes, now England have all the advantage to finally get their first win of the tournament. Crazy game!

At least you won your bet!

EDIT: I guess I was rather too hasty with my post, it's 3-3 now!

We've barely witness goals for majority of this nations league, but today goals seems to flying all over, I feel bad enough for Hungary, I really wish they'd secure that top spot, kudos to Italy.

[swogerino]

I had it a draw for the game between England and Germany but just two minutes before changed to a England win,I don't regret doing it,England completely dominated the game and it was 2 times errors from MacGuire and one time error from the goalkeeper that they conceded three goals while the goals of England were much more spectacular.I won the bet though as I had it both teams to score like all the world predicted a 1-1 draw for this event so only the pool is lost so far for me.

Italy just did their job and I knew they will have an easy win against a Hungary which showed nothing in their last game where they won against Germany.Italy in the play offs,well deserved.
