Sweden 0-2 Portugal
Wil’s new coach Alex Frei is Switzerland’s top scorer with 42 goals. A brand for which Cristiano Ronaldo probably only has a tired smile. Because the Portuguese superstar scored his 100th (and 101st) international goal on Tuesday night.
And Ronaldo would not be Ronaldo if he had also scored such a historic goal in the style of a Ronaldo: with a free-kick hammer from 25 meters! Speaking of numbers, it was the 57th direct free kick goal of CR7’s career. Incredible …
By the way, only one man scored 100 international goals before Ronaldo: Ali Daei. The Iranian, now 51, scored 109 goals in 149 games for his country. A seal that should expire soon.
What is more difficult, however: to become a man with more international matches. CR7 (165) is “alone” in 13th place, behind Casillas, Sergio Ramos or Gigi Buffon. The Egyptian Ahmed Hassan is the one who has the most: 184 games.
And Ronaldo is already 35 years old …
The objectives: 45. + 1 Ronaldo 0: 1, 72. Ronaldo 0: 2.
France 4-2 Croatia
786 days have passed since the last time France and Croatia met. The game? Nothing less than the World Cup final, which the French won 4-2 in Moscow.
This time it is “just” a group match in the Nations League. Still, it’s a respectable lot. France is struggling for a long time, with only five world champions in the starting eleven. 0-1 through Lovren. But Griezmann and Martial straighten the French crown before the break. Totally undeserved because Croatia is better and France hasn’t shown much until then.
But: A world championship horse only jumps as high as it should. The French also benefit from the fact that Croatia often has very little creativity on offense without their superstars Rakitic and Modric. In the end, the «Équipe tricolore» shook the victory at home, with the same result as 786 days ago.
The objectives: sixteen. Lovren 0: 1, 43. Griezmann 1: 1, 45. + 2 Marcial 2: 1, 55. Brekalo 2: 2, 65. Upamecano 3: 2, 77. Giroud (Penalty) 4: 2.
