Well all I can say is this game was absolute England domination.Czechia tried a bit in first half but England just had the ball more and had way more shots,this game could've ended way worse for Czechia.I wanna start off with England and say Kane has been so good this Nations League,probably his only average game was against Spain and even then he scored a goal,one of the best at this moment.Morgan Rogers and Eze as wingers were also so good,both of them explosive players and both press so much,Eze I feel like shinned more towards the 2nd half while Morgan Rogers more in the first.This game was also probably Bellingham's first average game this international break when he actually started but I still think he had some impact here and there,he definitely didn't have to drop back so much as he does normally since Czechia have a weak attack.In rest,both in midfield and in defence for England,everyone was great,I loved Anderson's first pass to Morgan to assist Harry Kane and I've noticed how good this pivot with Anderson and MLS works,they kinda fit with each other.Lewis Hall great game as usual,I really like him and Trent was also so creative like always,so good attacking wise,I don't get how Tuchel doesn't start him in bigger games and only played him against Czechia so far both games.Guehi and Quansah were also great defensively today but I wouldn't go with them as the cb pairing against Spain in a few days since there truly is a big difference between Spain's and Czechia's attack. Into Czechia's side,I can't add too much to them except they played kinda poorly and Coufal's own goal was hilarious,probably one of the funniest own goals I've seen in a minute since that was such a hard and clueless tackle,big mistake from him but somehow he still played fairly decent if we look at the game overall.My MOTM obviously goes to Kane but shotout to Morgan Rogers and Eze since they kinda surprised me today,fair play.

Pretty close match between the two nations despite the quality of players that Czechia had in comparison to Spain was way smaller.Spain used mostly players that don't start and it showed during this whole game,firstly I liked Yamal this game,he performed as he always does for Spain,dribbles,pressing,link-ups and of course got a goal,good performance.Can't say the same for Roberto Fernandez who was honestly just there,barely had any contributions or Alex Baena who was average this game,Spain's attack felt very underwhelming,Oyarzabal should've started instead of Roberto Fernandez even tho I understand the necessity for some subs to get game time but Spain was just about to draw because of this.Into the midfield,Rodri had a good performance,got a goal of course but also kept composure,was good on the middle of the pitch and even pressed a bit.Pedri created some key passes but that was pretty much it,that's what he brings to the game and Dani Olmo had so many shots but unfortunately didn't convert any of them,I feel like he struggles with quick decision making sometimes.Spain's defence however was pretty atrocious since they almost conceded 2 goals to Czechia but also didn't have too much chemistry since De La Fuente started 2 attacking minded fullbacks so Czechia easily entered through Spain's half,thank God for Rodri.Raya was also very disappointing this game,had one save whole game and almost conceded 2 goals. Into Czechia's team,Hlozek was just as big of a liability as Roberto Fernandez but atleast he got a goal contribution so I'll give him the credit.In rest,Czechia's performance was more so a team effort since nobody really stood out except one and that is Kinsky who was so class this game,I genuinely loved him.He had a lot of saves and I don't think any of the goals were his fault,actually did his best.I feel bad for Czechia tho since one of their goals got disallowed but it was because Le Normand got held and brought to the ground.My MOTM goes to Rodri.

Wow,what brilliance from England,I would have never predicted that England would beat Croatia this badly.Let me start off with Kane who was so good this game,was there for two goals and even 1 assist,did exactly what a competent striker should do.Next up is Gordon who was so good aswell,good link-up as always and good press and oh that touch to assist for Bellingham's goal😮‍💨.Talking about Bellingham he was by far the best player on the pitch,I mean he did everything,scored,assisted,linked-up,progressed the ball,dribbled and even had some defensive contributions,genuinely brilliant player.Saka however was probably England's worst attacker despite scoring a brace since as always wasn't creative and lost the ball so much but he did score against Croatia and had some shots here and there so I'm gonna give credit where it's due.Alex Scott and Anderson pivot was also good,both of them performed,they were basically making up for England's ultra attacking tactic if some unfortunate counter happened.Morgan Rogers when he came on for Kane scored aswell so y'all can tell how bad the opponent's defence was despite expecting much more from Vuskovic who was just brilliant for Brighton.In contrary, England's defence was good,everybody kept their composure and played good,nothing much to add. Into Croatia,I would be lying if I said that their whole team wasn't bad cause they pretty much were,from attack to midfield and defence,Livakovic did a couple saves but he couldn't do much against this super attacking England team and same could be said about players like Gvardiol or Stanisic who were just jogging around the field,they genuinely got outplayed.I feel so bad for Modric tho,he deserves better than this team,genuinely there wasn't a moment where Croatia had a big goal scoring chance,maybe only when Kovacic was right on goal but he shot it out wide.My MOTM goes to Jude Bellingham,truly remarkable player but shotout to Kane and Gordon.
