UEFA NATIONS LEAGUE DISCUSSIONS

[koang]

I guess the Scotland manager easily accepted the truth even before the game, because there was no way his team would have defeated the Portugal side. A good defensive ball was their game plan, and all thanks to the referee that didn't go too hard on the Scottish players. CR7 was literally frustrated and even complaining after the end of the game, because the Portugal side had more of the ball possession, but I guess a draw was enough for the Scottish side.

Yep. Based on the team and match statistics, it is normal that Ronaldo is frustrated, there are few worlds where Portugal doesn't win this one handsomely. Unfortunately, we just happen to be living in the one where they didn't
Despite their efforts, Portugal was too slow to build up attacks giving Scotland time to defend and the breakthrough never came.
A balance of possession and direct football is what is lacking as well.
Portugal needs a pure playmaker (Deco type) to pull it together.

Do you take Bruno Fernandez for granted. He is a very creative player, but for club and country. The unexpected result against Scotland does not speak less of the quality that Portugal has. They remain one of the promising teams for the future based on the quality they have.

Portugal should be an entirely different team, the problem is that Ronaldo is still in the team and is of course taking many opportunities that younger players should be getting.

Bumping because it's that time again.

Anyone betting here? The most interesting match is probably Belgium vs. Italy. Although Italy has the advantage in their head-to-head and looks to be in a better form (3 wins, 1 draw), Belgium is not to be taken lightly. Betting over 2.5 might be a good choice since both teams seems to score in every match.

It is about that time again to begin to hope and pray that players from our various teams do not get injured in this unnecessary competition. Arsenal have suffered this season from many of the injuries picked up from the competition by Odegaard, Caliofori, and Saka at some point.

My biggest hope in this competition is that no more Arsenal players pick up an injury.

One match that may be easy to predict is the Wales vs Türkiye match. Because in the first meeting between Wales vs Türkiye the result was a draw. It's just that at that time Türkiye only played with 10 players because one of the Turkish players, namely Bans Alper Yilmaz, had to leave the field because he received a red card. But Türkiye was still able to keep the match a draw. And this indeed proves that Tukri will indeed be the favorite in the upcoming match. Moreover, Türkiye is the host of this meeting. So favoring Türkiye is indeed the right choice.

But today the match I am most looking forward to is the match between Greece vs England. Because I'm curious whether Greece will be able to be stopped this season or not. Because so far Greece has continued to win in the last 4 matches.

Not betting on Nations League matches, might just enjoy the matches.
There have been several times betting on Nations League matches with poor results, maybe I'm not good at choosing teams so betting in this competition always loses. Lol
On the other hand when you don't have money to bet then it's better to just watch.

^ I'm losing the bet so far with only one goal scored in the Belium-Italy game so far I don't know if there will be substitutions later to change the pace of the game. I think fresh legs are needed from either team to have one or two more goal.

Just be patient, Mate, The condition is still the same:
For the time being in the 63rd minute, Italy is still in the lead, and this makes sense.
Belgium 0 vs 1 Italy

So far there have been no substitutions, and the position has not changed much, even each club has only had 3 shots on target, Italy is indeed dominating the ball, but Belgium's game is also quite effective.

Are you indirectly saying that C. Ronaldo should retire from country football so that young players will be given the very chance and opportunities to play for their country(Portugal)? Not to worry about that, Ronaldo will retire soonest. Maybe the upcoming World Cup should be his last football to play for his country. Young players who thought he was blocking them from playing for Portugal will have many times to play for Portugal in the Nations Cup and World Cup. But let them perform as well as C. Ronaldo to deliver their national team. That's the most important thing

More people have this as what they want for Portugal than the number of persons who don't. Ronaldo is a phenomenal player, other players should have their time too.

Although that has been what we have been hearing, surely that day would come in. I still strongly believe that Portugal would do very well without Ronaldo because other players will have an opportunity to really prove their worth.

The match between France and Israel is usually a disappointment for the gamblers, every bettor here was betting on the France team but the team definitely got a terrible result.  France team players could not score any goals in the whole game, if Mbappe was present here, all the gamblers could have won this match and a good result was expected for France team in this match.  It was a good result for Israel to draw this game despite being the weaker side, France had 24 attacks in the whole match, and the opposite side Israel only had 3 attacks.  If there is a huge difference, the French team did not succeed in any attack, it is a failure for the French team.

Well, that was a very disappointing result indeed. because indeed many of us bet confidently on France's victory. But it turned out that France could only score a draw in the match. And it was completely unexpected. And with the many opportunities they get, they should be able to take advantage of just one. But well it's all in vain.

There's a big game tonight, Good luck to all who bet tonight.
Spain has secured its place in the quarter-finals of the 2024-25 UEFA Nations League,
but It’s not a perfect record if they’ve lost one game is it?
I will treat myself tonight when Denmark plays Spain but Spain must win.
I am supporting Portugal and Spain. Let's see what’s next in the Nations League!

Surely, other players will have their time, too. The only we see in this, is that the No.9 position of Portugal's team, Ronaldo occupies that position, limiting other potential young players to playing in that position(No.9) ahead of Ronaldo not to because Ronaldo is there. In every other playing position of the Portugal team, other players can have their way there to replace the old players but it is not the same case with Ronaldo because how the world regards him to be a phenomenal player that makes a good impact in every match he is in.

I will treat myself tonight when Denmark plays Spain but Spain must win.

No doubts about Spain winning the game; they most times do not disappoint; they scored one goal in the first half and have now scored another in the second whilst still holding back and soaking up all the pressure from Denmark. Denmark have had good chances but no goals yet.

Portugal hold on to a one-goal lead against a Polish team with no Lewandoski. It can change in a moment.
