UEFA NATIONS LEAGUE DISCUSSIONS

[Rruchi man]

It is matchday one of the UEFA Nations League, and the games are on with some very interesting fixtures already in play.


This thread will host all discussions regarding it since there is no thread with this discussion.

These games are on now.

Portugal vs Croatia
Serbia vs Spain
Scotland vs Poland
Denmark vs Switzerland etc

Draw for Serbia vs. Spain. A quick look at the stats, it seemed like Spain struggled to break down Serbia's compact/tight formation despite dominating ball possession (69%).

Also, congrats to Ronaldo for scoring his 900th goal in this tournament. like him or hate him, that's a huge feat.

Quite some interesting fixtures tonight. Congratulations to CR7 on his 900th career goals. So glad that I was actually part of this era that watched him. Poland vs Scotland game was quite interesting. Scott McTominay is an exceptional player I always look forward to watching out for when it comes to Scotland's game. Though, his first goal was cancelled, but he ended up scoring again. I think he plays better in that AMF position, rather than DMF/CMF where ten hag prefer to play him before his departure.

Looking forward to France-Italy game tomorrow. And I hope that Norway can qualify this time for the next uefa nation's league.

Congratulations to CR7, who has scored the most goals ever at the club and international levels combined. He has set a goal to score 1000 goals in his football career before retiring, but I don't think that will be possible due to his age. I know CR7 still sees himself as a young player, but you and I both know that he isn't fit to score 100 goals again, but seeing him reach that mark will be an incredible honor and a great story to tell.

Portugal and Poland have three points secured in their group, while Scotland and Croatia have zero points, but given what Croatia played with Portugal yesterday, there is hope that Croatia and Portugal will qualify from their group. Today Belgium will face Israel, but do you think think Israel will defeat Belgium?

As I expected, Portugal could win the match against Croatia.. And all the goals scored by Portugal also looked quite beautiful in that match. Which shows that Croatia is indeed at a fairly low level at the moment. Because I think their defense is quite easy to penetrate. Diogo Dalot scored a beautiful goal against Croatia in the 7th minute but this player also scored a beautiful own goal against Portugal. 

But I have to admit that this match was quite an exciting match. Because Croatia also put up quite fierce resistance. It's just that they don't have their sharpness back yet. It seems that as Modric gets older we also see a decline in the Croatian national team. But what makes me happy about this match is because Cristiano Ronaldo scored another goal. And I was amazed by the assist from that goal which really went to the right area and Cristiano Ronaldo used it very well. The result of the match 2-1 is quite good.

When San Marino won their first ever game, Cristiano Ronaldo had a total of 9 career goals, 891 goals later, San Marino won their second ever game victory over Liechtenstein in the UEFA Nations League.
We watched the evolution of Cristiano Ronaldo's greatness through the years and It's a blessing watching him play, his technique has remained the same since he was young. Amazing...

Belgium under Domenico Tedesco, is going through changes and I bet Belgium will win against Israel

[Uruhara]

The match currently taking place is the Kazakhstan vs Norway match. I'm actually not sure which team to favor in this match but I decided to choose Norway. because I'm sure Haaland will be able to score a goal in this match.
And I predict a score of 1-2 for this match.

Another match today that I think will be quite easy to predict is the Belgium vs Israel match. I am sure that this time Belgium will play very well in the Nations League compared to Euro 2024. I hope that Lukaku, De Bruyne and the other star players in Belgium can prove that they can perform well.

Looking forward to France-Italy game tomorrow.

It did not take long for France to score in the game, and they scored within the very first minute of the game, and after the shaky and bad start for Italy, they have been able to withstand the pressure to make sure that they do not concede more. They steadied up, and Di Marco has scored a fabulous goal just before halftime to now be 1-1 against France. Good Recovery!

• Serbia 0 vs 0 Spain

Spain ruined my Betslip yesterday, they could not even score a goal!!!

[Zed0X]

Great win for Italy! It's always a good thing to see a match between football powerhouses and this one didn't disappoint. I was expecting Italy to let France have most of the ball but I guess the plan quickly changed after they conceded a goal from the first minute.

Having fallen behind early in the match, Gli Azzurri came back and won, taking their first 3 points in the Nations League.
And this is the first time in 70 years that Italy has beaten France on French soil.
The Italian team performed very well even without Chiesa or Parella, but Tonali is back, the maestro of midfield and the heart of the Italian team
He performed extraordinarily and proved his ability with every touch on the pitch. He has woken up from his sleep

Newcastle supporters will be excited by it, knowing that their player who just returned is getting back up to speed. Tonali was a weapon fashioned against France yesterday. It would have been a more embarrassing loss for France at home because they would have conceded more goals.

England play against Ireland today; Germany will face Hungary, and the Netherlands play against Bosnia.

Oh my world!. I have forgotten about this player(Tonali) in just a space of 10months. I just remembered his betting case that happened, which resulted to a 10month game banned. His performance against France was too notch, and I hope Eddie Howe will still have a place for him in the squad. I can't just imagine him linking up with Guimaraes and Joelinton in the midfield, with a wonderful attack of Isak, Barnes and Almiron. Tonali is still very much young(24), so I think he has a long career years ahead of him.

I would have loved to watch England's game today, but it turns out that my country will be in action at same time. So, I might check out for the highlight at the end of the day. If am not mistaken, I think 4 arsenal players will be in action today, so I am wishing them the very best.

England play against Ireland today;

Full Time: Ireland 0 vs 2 England

Good game. England is playing well under the new coach, for 45 minutes in the Lee Carsley era, England was more entertaining than in the entire European Cup with Southgate.

Ireland fans held up a banner The Snakes are Back, aimed at Declan Rice and Jack Grealish ahead of their game vs. England and Both players went on to score before the half-hour mark. Ironic...

Spalletti seems to have started to make the Italian national team better. At the Euro the Italian team did not play so well and got unsatisfactory results. But this time they managed to beat France who played as hosts. And I think all this is thanks to Spalletti who is starting to succeed in building the Italian squad to its best performance. Spalletti was successful in bringing Napoli to win Serie A. And I think he will also be able to bring Italy to good results.
