Not just did France beat Croatia with another 4-2 result - just as they did in the World Cup Final - but they did it with another own goal and undeserved penalty call. Obviously, not that big of a deal this time around as UEFA Nations League is no World Cup and both sides were without their best players. Here are my notes from the France game: 1.

Portugal Defeats Zero-Intensity Croatia 4-1
By 174 Comments
I'm just going to leave this right here. No need for me to repeat myself. I hate these games.

At that point, better to put out the U21s or HNLers and let them play their hearts out. Croatia have never beat Portugal in … [Read more...] about Portugal Defeats Zero-Intensity Croatia 4-1
