England has successfully slaughtered Croatia at home with a score of 7-0 for England's victory. I think this match was very entertaining because there were many goals scored in this match. Fortunately, I favored England when betting on this match. Do you think so too? Now England has managed to take 3 points from Croatia, which of course keeps England in second place in the group. I think England fans must be very happy in this match because their team managed to beat Croatia. Bellingham, Saka, Rogers, Gordon, and Kane performed exceptionally in this match because they scored goals, but Kane and Saka scored the most goals, scoring two goals each.

Croatia's people must be very sad in this match because Croatia, as the host, was unable to beat England. Of course, it can't be helped because England is a tough opponent to beat. I think it will be difficult to advance to the next round because England and Spain certainly have the greatest potential to advance to the next round. We'll see what happens.

The match of England against Croatia actually impressed me, though I wasn't really having any doubts on these two matches of England vs Croatia and the match of Spain against Czech Republic, I knew it already the teams that would delivered, England has actually slaughter the Croatia on this match to some extent, hadn't been the England didn't losed any match so far, they would be competing with Spain presently in the group stage table, but Spain came will prepared this time and are ready to win any match at this stage, the Czech Republic performances were poor right from the initial stages, both thier attackers and thier Midfielders are not working properly and thier patterns looks disorganized, imagine losing all thier matches consecutively without even draw or wins, well they need to work on thier settings and improve on themselves.
England- 7 Croatia- 0

Croatia suffered one of the heaviest defeats in its history on home soil. The result of this match is deeply embarrassing for the Croatians. They should be upset not merely because they failed to win, but because they endured a crushing 7-0 defeat. It was an utterly forgettable and disastrous night for Livakovic. The Croatians need to put this defeat behind them as soon as possible; accepting this result is, of course, far from easy.

The entire team of Croatia deserves to be corrected because the performance they have done in this match is definitely questionable. Where you can see that Croatia is a strong team in the world of football, despite having a full squad, these players could not perform well against the England team. Because this game was held on their home field, the chances of Croatia winning this game were high, many thought that the game would turn into a draw.
But no, the result was completely the opposite, which England created a stir with seven goals, so here I see the extremely poor performance of the Croatia team. This poor performance should be corrected and moved forward, otherwise in the future, if we play more matches with other teams, we may face more dangers.

However, the Croatia team is currently going through a lot of weakness and the performance of the players in their team is not like before. Earlier we saw that the Croatia team was very strong but now they are completely different and their team definitely needs good players and it is very important to select good players. Their poor performance against England was unexpected, a team lost by a margin of 0-7 goals. It is really sad, if Croatia could have scored a few goals then it would have been one thing but they could not score any goals. The Croatia team has performed so badly even at home, it is very important for them to change the coach and players of the team. It was really unexpected that they would lose so badly against England and lose the match without any results. However, no matter how the performance of the Croatia team is, they will have to face criticism and the players who are currently in the team will have to improve and choose good players. If the Croatia team wants to move forward in the future, they must improve their performance and there must be experienced players in the team.

I wonder if there are any England fans who still remembered that it was Croatia which eliminated England in the semi finals from the World Cup in year 2018. And it was totally insane to see England scoring a total of 7 goals past Croatia yesterday, it seems that Croatia have passed their golden era with many of their national players retiring from their national squad and also Luka Modric are no longer young and thus his impact on the field are not that huge anymore. I felt the young talents in Croatia are not able to fill up the huge skills gap left behind by their seniors players who had already retired, whereby the young talents in England are building on a good momentum to shape England into a powerful national team in the future.

Big win for England, but where does the win put them in the standings of the Euro Nations League, Croatia was playing like San Marino this wasn’t the same Croatia team that we’ve previously seen at the World Cup and Luka Modric is not in his prime anymore he is close to retirement, I feel he should’ve retired after the last World Cup, but he wants to keep playing football.

Good Performance from England, I can’t remember when last I saw England score so many goals, probably should be against San Marino who doesn’t have any idea about football.

I will only think that Croatia is in the process of rebuilding a team again, most of the players that have been there for years are close to hanging their boots, and some have already retired.

After defeating Croatia in their previous match, Spain has now defeated their opponent, the Czech Republic, 3-1. Yamal, Rodri, and Merino were the heroes for Spain in today's match because he scored the goal against the Czech Republic. However, what I liked most was Yamal's performance when scoring the goal. He was excellent and very good at finding gaps. I want to ask you all whose performance do you like the most and find interesting?

Spain always plays well in every match, so it's no wonder they just won the World Cup. Now Spain has managed to beat the Czech Republic, England, and Croatia. Of course, Spain must be careful because all teams will definitely try to win when playing against Spain. England will also try to beat Spain and will definitely seek revenge. But I think there is a big chance that Spain will be able to continue winning consistently and ultimately become group winners. What do you think?

One question about this Spanish team is how long will they be able to sustain their winning streak?
Their next three fixtures are

Croatia vs Spain (October 6th)
Czechia vs Spain (November 12th)
Spain vs England (November 15th)

For these three fixtures, England will be toughest game for them, and may be the game where their winning streak ends.
Croatia had a trashing from England, how many goals do you think the Spanish team that are better at the moment are going to score?

Croatia is one of the most successful countries in the FIFA World Cup. They have participated in just seven editions but have won two bronze medals and were runners-up in 2018 when they lost the third-place match against France. The country has also not performed badly in Europe. They also made it to the final of the UEFA Nations League in the 2022–23 season and lost to Spain on penalties.

Losing to England by this wide margin is surprising. It shows that there might be some tactical problems, since they still have some good players. Anyway, in football, anything can happen; after all, Germany lost 6-0 to Spain in November 17, 2020.

With this their current form, and as the status as the world champions, I don't think they are going to drop a single point from any of this game because they are just too strong for these teams except the English team. The only reason I believe that they will still beat the English team again is because they will be playing this game on their own soil, so I don't think that the English team is good enough to stop them from claiming three point.

Croatia has gotten us used to seeing them play very good football, so nobody expected a defeat like this. But anything can happen in footballб even if we remember Brazil’s 1–7 defeat to Germany at the World Cup, why should we be surprised?

The most important thing is that this turns out to be just a one off setback for Croatia, because they really do have a good team. But the fact that Modric is still playing for the national team may indicate that they have a shortage of young players. And that is something they need to pay attention to.

Spain will easily defeat Croatia and the Czech Republic. They beat England away, and they will beat them at home, too. At the very least, they will draw. Yesterday, England defeated Croatia 7-0 away from home. I wonder how many goals Spain will score against Croatia away.
They beat them 4-1 in Spain, but will they score as many goals as England did away?
That is the question, I think. We will get the answer in two days.

Despite what Ronaldo has done for Portugal, there are people who believe Portugal is better without Ronaldo, and are using yesterday’s game as evidence. This narrative is being pushed by the media with headlines like “Ronaldo-less Portugal Prospers” e.t.c.

Neymar is washed but still went to the World Cup. The fans wanted him there because they felt they owe him that for the many years Neymar served the national team. As far as I can remember, Ronaldo carried Portugal for the longest, and now that they have good players, Ronaldo is suddenly the one holding the team back.

Ronaldo is 41 years old, do you understand that? Nobody is denying he is part of the football history, he broke several records that who knows if and when will be broken by another player, and the whole country of Portugal knows what he did. But he must understand he is not the player he used to be otherwise he would be playing in Europe, not in Saudi Arabia. Otherwise based on your logic a 50-year-old Maradona should have been called by Argentina...

You do realise that Ronaldo could have been playing in Europe if he had signed for Manchester City instead of United. Scoring 1000 goals with KDB in the midfield and with the quality City has would not have been a problem for the 41 year old. Before Ronaldo and Messi, I don’t think anyone thought it was possible to play professionally at 36 years old. Also I’d like to debunk the idea that playing in the Saudi Pro League is easy, it’s hard to play with teammates that have a totally different football background than you.

Frankly, I can’t wait for this Portugal drama to end because the media keeps bringing up comments from the manager and players to steer up more controversy. Let’s just wait and hear the real story from CR7 and Jorge Jesus.

Germany has a crucial match against Greece today. If Greece wins, Germany will most likely miss out on the top two spots. I also expect the Netherlands to defeat Serbia on home soil. If Germany loses, they will remain on four points.
I also can't quite understand why Germany is performing so poorly; they have good players, but it seems they haven't been able to adapt to Klopp's system.
I think Greece will play a patient game—much like they did in Germany—and look to score through counter-attacks.
Even though Germany is the favorite, securing a win won't be easy for them.

It's possible for Spain to draw in any of this fixtures but i don't think they will loss from it, Croatia and Czech republic won't be hard for Spain to win, England will give them a tough game but i don't think Spain will loss but they could possibly play draw. England and Spain has met before in their first leg and Spain won the game 2-3 but i believe England will play more hard this time to avoid recording 2 defeat from Spain in less than a month, but most importantly here Spain and England will make it through in their group while Croatia and Czech republic will finish 3rd and 4th respectively.

They are in a great position after winning every match in the group stage of the Nations League. The big wins against Croatia and Czech in the previous matches make it easy to predict the outcome of the upcoming matches. Spain is almost certain to be the group champion. Lamine Yamal is in great form and has already scored 4 goals in the Nations League. And he will score more goals in the next matches. Spain is currently having the best time because almost every player in their team is showing great performance and they will also win against England in the last match of the group stage.

Sometimes home advantage doesn't favour home teams. The first leg was a close win and I think England will reinforce against their second leg with Spain. This should be one of the most anticipated return game in the Nations League as we watch either England try to reclaim their pride or Spain take all 18 points. Currently England has the highest goals scored in a single match which should be enough threat to Spain.

I think it’s too early to talk about the team adapting to Klopp’s system after only a few competitive games under a new manager. I think they need a bit more time to understand exactly what Klopp expects from them. Germany are in a difficult situation right now, and I think that could put additional pressure on them. On the other hand, it could also give them extra motivation for this match. If you look at the situation, they really need to win today.

Greece will most likely play a more defensive style of football, but since they are playing at home, their fans could give them extra motivation to push forward. It’s a difficult match, I think Germany won’t lose today, but I have some doubts about whether they will actually win.

I swear Croatia’s coach needs to be arrested ASAP, cos WTF😂.

How do you concede 7 goals without being able to answer back with atleast 1 or 2 goals?, nah c’mon, they had a very horrible performance right from the defense to their attacking and as it is now, they’re in a very difficult position due to the two back to back losses they have faced.

Good performance from England though, they had good chemistry in that match, although i was more impressed with Jude Bellingham’s performance more.
I have said it many times that the guy is a spectacular player but most people just like to lie about him because they are too focused on aesthetics rather than results.

I dare to say that Bellingham is currently the best England player IMO. Infact he’s better than Pedri and Bruno Fernandes(argue with your keyboard).

At first, I thought maybe Croatia had received a red card, which was why England were scoring so many goals. I didn’t watch the match and was only following the score live in an app. But when I went to watch the highlights, I saw that Croatia didn’t have anyone sent off. England were scoring with almost  every attack that ended with a shot on target. And I honestly don’t understand how that happened. Although England’s attack looks very impressive, I think that if they can catch the courage, they can score as many goals as they want.

Overall, it's a logical result: Croatia's golden generation is gone, while England, on the contrary, is seeing a rise, but the score is certainly too brutal for any pair, especially with such big names. It looks like the day after tomorrow, if Spain beats Croatia and England beats the Czech Republic, the fight for a playoff spots will officially end and England and Spain will face off in a head-to-head match in November to decide who will take first place. It will be interesting to see if Croatia can bounce back for the match against the world champions. Two consecutive home defeats would be extremely painful.

The scoreline was very shocking but I didn't expect otherwise. The English team consist of young and energetic players that play like robots. The Croatian team has become too slow and they had a disastrous game yesterday. Other countries that had a system change are already showing impact but since the system change occurred in Croatian, they simply don't look like the Croatian we know. Judging from Croatia performance in the past, they are definitely capable of doing much more than what we are seeing now.

I won't put the blame on players alone but something is clearly wrong. Maybe from the way the team is being managed from those in authority. The psychological and mental aspect of the players should also be evaluate because it's hard to tell which direction the team is currently heading to.
