Croatia v england tonight. A repeat of the world cup semi final. Will croatia have recovered from the hammering against spain. Maybe a draw.

As an England fan, I say that Croatia will win 1-0 / 2-1
I won't be watching it, will be busy walking the dog and then watching tv shows and playing on the games.

Rashford proving again that he is just a very ordinary player who has been overhyped again by the English press.

Whats another year, will we get the better of the danes this time? Almost a year ago they beat us 5-1 at the aviva. Have we improved any since then. At least we have james mcclean and harry arter back since the wales game.

The pressure will really be on MON Roy Keane and the rest of the backroom team in these next two Nations League games. Eriksen not playing is obviously a huge boost for Ireland so maybe they will get something tonight. I will go for a 1-1 draw.

No ramsey or bale for wales, could we beat them? Or is that expecting too much.

The team have to be more adventurous and press further up the pitch in order to win the game or at least try to win.

No ramsey or bale for wales, could we beat them? Or is that expecting too much.

Surely Ireland will not play as badly as they did in the match in Cardiff last month. I think the most likely result is another 0-0 draw.

Martin O'Neil has Ireland playing shit. It's hard and sad to watch.

And this surprises you? Pretty much the same way they have played since Euro 2016 anyway.

[westcorklad]

Dreary stuff from both teams in the first 45 minutes. Hopefully things will improve in the second half.

[westcorklad]

So it finishes 1-0 to Wales. It now looks likely that Ireland will be relegated from their league, and will have a tougher draw for the Euro 2020 qualifiers. MON and co.will be feeling the heat again.

[westcorklad]

Ya its looking that way. We didnt really create much tonight. There could be bleak times ahead for the next while.

Keith Andrews really putting the boot into the Irish squad on Sky Sports now.

Germany beaten again tonight, their going through a bad patch by their usual standards. But well done to Gibraltar who get their 2nd win in a few days after having gone 22 competitive games without a win.

Yes, since the World Cup Germany have been on a terrible run. You would wonder how much more time Loew will be given to turn things around. The Germans expect constant success and they are certainly not getting it at present.
