A new video on beIN SPORTS Australia usually ends its first day with around six thousand views. The Croatia v England highlights went past 170,000 in their first ten hours, the most of the three Nations League reels the channel posted on Saturday.

The game had plenty to replay. According to the channel's own short, England scored seven, and the first came from Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham combining. Bellingham then celebrated with Kane's own celebration, in front of Kane. The channel cut that moment into a separate clip, titled "Bellingham does Kane for Kane". The highlights' tags add Anthony Gordon and Bukayo Saka to the names to look out for.

Most of the conversation underneath is about the other half of the scoreline. Many viewers ask what happened to Croatia's defense, and several point out that England's goals looked alike, as if the back line never changed anything. A second thread follows Luka Modrić. Viewers who say they love him wonder whether this is how a career like his should close at international level. Others look at England's side of the game: one viewer admires the movement and first touch on Morgan Rogers' goal, and another asks, half joking, whether Gordon is in line for the Ballon d'Or. The comment section was more than twice as busy after ten hours as a usual full first day on the channel.

Spain v Czechia came next, carried by a Lamine Yamal goal. The channel's short on it shows coach Luis de la Fuente unable to believe what he had just seen.
