Let's face it, it is not going to be something that teams will care too much about because there is nothing giving them any advantage at all, makes no sense to keep it going that way. I have to say that the fact that England played this badly could be used as a proof that no team really cares about this that much, maybe only lower level teams that try to get their rare win.
England did not win any of the four matches, which is sad and embarrassing for England. England is not a weak team. They are a very renowned and traditional team. Fans do not expect such a bad performance from them. Maybe the UEFA Nations League title isn't important to them. However, they should have performed a little better. TBH, I really don't know what is England's problem. At least to win a match would have helped their case a little. Sitting at the bottom of the group D, being defeated by Hungary and collecting a red card is enough trouble for Gareth. I feel they keep losing due to entitlement issues tho. To be sincere am totally disappointed in England, they are a well known team, with alot of quality players. We expect much better performance from them am so devastated at the moment with their performance, they haven't win a single match in the nation's league, and that's a bad record for a team like England am so frustrated with their performance in the nation's league. Hope they perform better in the world cup. |

I'm looking forward to the beginning of the new season in the Premier League already. We have already seen some great transfers that have made me very excited. I especially want to watch Erling Haaland and Darwin Nunez now. These are both incredible transfers for Manchester City and Liverpool for another title race. It is very likely to see another big race between these two teams next season unless another team join them by improving their game. That team might be Chelsea by the way.
Yeah am very eager to watch the premier league next season, it won't be an easy competition for the teams, I have seen some spectacular transfer that spark my mind already, Liverpool and Manchester city have bring in some quality players that will help them competite for the title next season. Erling haaland and Darwin Nunez are one of the best transfer in the EPL so far this season, but I think Chelsea will be among the title race this season if they can bring in some quality players to strengthen the team more. |

Lewandowski's goal of course is Barcelona, but because the financial problems faced by Barcelona are still a problem so there is no agreement between the two, of course Barcelona must be able to balance it financially. The Barcelona manager and management themselves have admitted that their financial condition is not in good condition so that the process of Lewandowski's move to Barcelona will be very difficult to materialize. I myself am very concerned about how the team is trying to get out of this comfort zone, but hopefully it won't have a big impact on their performances next season. As is well known, I think Xavi really felt he had to do his best even though some of his wishes about the player didn't come true next season. I hope he is able to make use of all the available players even though in the end Lewandowski couldn't join him. This is a solution that the Barcelona club must do and Xavi Hernandez must be able to take advantage of the existing composition of players to face next season if Barcelona's finances have no way out of what they are currently experiencing. Many Barcelona fans are worried that Lewandowski's move will be canceled because of money. Since Xavi arrived as Barcelona coach after Koeman was sacked, he was able to restore the confidence of the players and managed to finish second in La Liga. Lewandowski is reportedly very interested in joining Barcelona, but if Barcelona can't afford it because of money, then it's like you said that Xavi should take advantage of the existing players. Lewandowski would have being a nice attacker for Barcelona, he is a quality player with alot of experience, bringing him to Barcelona would have been of help to the team. Perhaps with Barcelona recent challenges I don't think bringing him to the team might work, cause bringing a player like lewandowski require alot of money. He is a expensive attacker his ball contact and control is one of the best I have seen from a striker. There might be changed of plan because of Barcelona financial instability. |

Honestly, I don't think Gareth Southgate can continue with the job. Gareth Southgate must resign after those humiliating results. I know that the Nations League matches aren't that important, but an important trailer for FIFA World Cup. If England doesn’t fix this team, they’ll get knocked out at group stages in the World Cup.
Southgate won't resign and it is unlikely to be sacked. He said that this (humiliating) defeat against Hungary should motivate him and the team to do better next time. I don't think personally that France and England will perform as poorly in the World Cup as they did in Nations League. The motivation and the tension there will be different. The eyes of the whole nation are on them. Honestly I think Southgate should be more serious with this team, am already tired with their pattern of play. A country like England should not be playing like this, cause the country have alot of quality players. But sometimes I think most of the mistakes comes from the coach, he only rotates players without knowing how to use them, through out his stay with the team he don't have a first eleven team or a consistent number 10 they keep rotating the team and the numbers. That doesn't seems normal to me he need to arrange this team so that they can play to our expectations. Cause with the player they have we don't expect such poor performance from them, they really need to improve before the world cup. |

For players like Rashford, the arrival of a new head coach at Manchester United is a great chance to prove himself from the best side and become a player of the foundation of the club. If the player stayed at the club, then let's hope that he already had a meeting with Ten Hag, where he gave him some hope. The previous coach may well have had his own preferences or simply the player did not fit into his game scheme, but now everything should be new and everyone has chances. I would really like this undoubtedly talented player to finally find himself and begin to justify the advances that have been assigned to him for quite a long time.
Compared to previous seasons, the last one was certainly a failure for Rashford, although he had enough games to prove himself. But Ten Hag has already said he's not interested in getting more attacking (in terms of transfers) at United, he's just looking for a stronger game from existing players. I think this means that he understands his potential and believes that with the overall progress of the team, Rashford will be able to return at least to the previous level. Actually Rashford as potential player but last season he not get enough minutes playing for Manchester United and can't showed his top level performance. If actually true with Erik tan Hag not priority with getting more attacking position player will give chance for Rashford getting back his position with Manchester United as regular player. I think Rashford can placed on right winger poaition or make him as central forward with Mancheater United always give this position for Cristiano Ronaldo. Last season was bad for Marcus Rashford and so many Manchester United players for instant Edison cavani did not do well like he did the session before, maybe is because of the change of coach but Rashford didn't try to prove anything to Rangnick when giving opportunity,he lacks fitness and focus he plays like he didn't care of what Manchester United football club is going through,when you see players like Elenga come on I play with there heart you wonder and say to yourself is Manchester United Rashford boyhood club. Since playing from the academy, he developed into a deadly striker in the Red Devils attack line. However, Rashford this season has shown a very poor performance. So he often sits on the bench. With these conditions many think Rashford will leave Manchester United. But there is news stating that the new Red Devils manager Erik Ten Hag still wants Rashford to join United's squad. At least Erik Ten Hag will test Rashford's abilities in the MU pre-season session. Talking of Rashford, he was one of the best youngest player in his prime, he was a spectacular player in his early phase in the team. Rashford was compare to the likes of mbappe and other famous players he was a great player in his first season in the team, he shows alot of good qualities that's why he was giving the number 10. But recently Rashford performance dropped unexpectedly I never imagined this from a player like Rashford, he was already above all his peers that started together with him. Recently I don't know what's going on I suggest the team should give him sometime under the new management of Erik ten Haag let's see if he might make a difference. |

A new meeting has been done for Juventus and Di Maria according to di Marzio.
The parts are now closer to the deal and the final response should be done by the end of this week.
Wow it's a good signing for Juventus, bringing in a player like Di Maria will help the team alot. Though he is getting older by age recently and that's making him weak but still yet he still plays like a 20 year old player he is really a quality player with alot of experience bringing him to Juventus will be so cool, he will be of a good use to the old ladies. |

Nigerians can win comfortably now because they have recalled some quality players,and the kind of formation the coach is using now is the best for them, Osimhen upfront is very good, and very fast,making every defender to be terrified when he is coming with the ball.
Right now the team is in a good shape,and and they have a winning mentality which makes them have the confidence of winning any team that comes their way.
Isn't this the exact same thing we say about every new manager that Nigeria hires. I remember when the previous coach Gernot Rohr took over management of the team. Everyone was praising him but after few games things return to normal. What we need to judge this new coach is trophy and not just good games. The country Nigeria just played against are very small and not football oriented. It more like Norwich playing against Manchester City, everyone knows City (Nigeria) will destroy them. While I must admit, the goal margin is awesome and them evening keeping a clean sheet was the icing on the cake. Now we can top the group for the qualifiers easier and hopefully the new players can build their chemistry and become a strong force as they ones were. Lol I really don't know what to say at the moment about this Super eagles team coming into the Nations league with a new coach cause other coaches have come in same manner and performed well at the beginning of their term and flogged at the end. They had a really good game against a weaker side but they play well, controlled the game in both halves, kept a clean sheet and looked promising. If they can continue to win games comfortably like this then its a really good improvement so lets just watch and see if they can keep up this momentum through out the competition. Though the super eagles played against a low profile country, but that doesn't mean anything it one of their best game have ever watched as a Nigerian. They played comfortably and also controlled the ball in the both halves and they were consistent throughout the match. I think the new super eagles coach will bring out the future of the team, cause his stat prove that. We only pray he should be consistent and more directive, not like the ex coach that had a good stat and end up destroying the team. We need a consistent coach fill with experience to bring out the future of our team. |

To me, Richarlison should leave Everton immediately. He is a special player to me and he shouldn't waste his most productive ages at Everton now. If Everton were a solid team and they achieved something in the league in the near past then I would say he should stay. But the scenario now is completely the opposite. Everton hardly managed to stay in the Premier League. Richarlison should go to one of the alternatives, Tottenham or Chelsea. It is up to him to choose which one of them and I hope his choice would bring him success in the future.
Richarlison is quite a good player, though am not that ok with his performance, he is not consistent to me, despite that he had other good qualities that can attract many big teams to go for him. Richarlison is a nice player some how he have speed, pace and he is strong that's the little interest I have in him. Though with his pattern of play bringing him to Chelsea will be of a good help, playing in a big team like Chelsea will bring out his name and performance and it will announce him to the world. Perhaps Chelsea is not looking for forward right now, they are trying to feel in the gaps in the defends line, that's the most important thing to them right now. They need experience defenders that can feel in the space of rudiger Andreas Christensen and azplicueta. |

I assume so many people lost a lot of money during the first four rounds of the Nations League. This must be really frustrating of course and I have experienced the same thing too. Big teams of this tournament just don't take this very seriously generally and this makes me really annoyed when I place a bet on them. For example, I didn't expect England to be crushed by a score like that by Hungary. I assume the majority of bettors didn't expect this too. Football is full of surprises maybe but I don't look at this as a surprise. Because England didn't want to bother winning this.
[/quotes
Actually I agree with you, I don't see the reason why a country like England filled with experience and quality players will lose to Hungary with such goal difference. I was so devastated yesterday after hearing the score, it got me tired cause I placed a bet on England to beat Hungary but looking at the score before me yesterday it got me tired. Recently am tired of betting in the UEFA nation's league, cause alot of big teams are not performing well, am so tired of placing a bet on any big teams cause I don't trust them. |

Reportedly Man United want to strengthen their midfield by signing Frenkie De Jong.
Man united are aware their midfield is in trouble so Ten Hag is eager to bring in De Jong. But I heard that Barcelona is not yet willing to take it off at a price of 60 million euros. Then Man United added up to 70 million euros. But to date there has been no official decision from Barcelona. It seems that Barcelona took advantage of this moment to earn money. They tried to shut down the financial crisis that hit them which caused some players to leave and some players to get pay cuts. We see the transfer season is still a little long. Source: https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-utd-transfer-de-jong-27221790Man United has indeed lost quite a number of midfielders this year, such as Pogba, Juan Mata, Lingard and Matic are confirmed to leave Man United. So it's only natural that Ten Hag is more focused on signing midfield players, the problem is like you said Barcelona can't possibly release Frenkie de Jong for a cheap price. Because apart from Barcelona really needing money, De Jong also has an extraordinary performance, so De Jong deserves a high price. Even though it's really a pity if Barcelona sells De Jong, because his contribution is quite large for Barcelona. But indeed Barcelona's position is quite difficult right now with Barcelona's financial condition is worrying. So it's possible that Barcelona will sell De Jong to Man United, it's just a matter of time to find an agreement on the transfer price. Manchester United really needs to bring some quality midfielders that can handle the team and bring out the fan expectation. Manchester United is really at a poor state right now they need midfielders that can settle and control the team pattern of play, to bring back the team to it normal stand. De Jong will really be of a good help to the team, he is a experience midfielder, and also a classic footballer. Though Barcelona can't sell him at a lower late, cause they really need him at their team but due to their recent problems they might negotiate for him to bring in some young players that can help the teams future. |

Why don't we hear anything from Chelsea FC... they have + 200 million euros available for new players. There are news from Italy, because a journalist said that Gabriel Slonina (18 years) is about to sign a contract at Chelsea FC. The young goalkeeper is a great talent, but not a superstar. When will we hear about the next top transfer, I'm surprised there is nothing yet.
The 200 million euros that the new owner of Chelsea gave Thomas Tuchel to buy a few players but so far that hasn't happened where there hasn't been a surprising transfer coming to Stamford bridge even though at the moment Chelsea have lost as much as Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger were confirmed. finding their respective new clubs, this is actually very different from what happened with rival clubs where Liverpool and Manchester city had made a breakthrough at the beginning of the transfer window opening, of course we as Chelsea fans are very worried as strong as we have right now. feeling unable to compete with teams like Manchester city and Liverpool in the race for the EPL Yeah I think the blues needs to sign a few quality players, to strengthen the team, especially bringing in quality defenders to cover up the space of rudiger, Andreas Christensen, azplicueta. To be in competitive for the trophy next season I think the team need to recruit more talented players that can subdue the pressures from other teams. Liverpool and Manchester city has bring some cool players that will really help the team, Manchester United are trying their best to revive the team back to it normal standard, so next season will really be competitive. |

The transfer market is closed but news of Coutinho still has not stopped. Today I see a lot of media who preach that Barcelona still want Coutinho and will offer again to Liverpool in January later. News of Coutinho's move certainly gave some hesitancy to Liverpool fans and Fans Barcelona, and although the transfer market has been closed but rumors are still circulating fast.
Bringing in Coutinho back to the club will be a good signing for Barcelona, I mean he is such an amazing player, I love his style of play he is one of the best player I value much in football. Take a look at his performance this season with Aston Villa, he was one of the best player in the team, he is a good player though for some times now alot of things have changed he haven't been the Coutinho we knew at Liverpool, but with his recent performance I think he will be a good attachment to his ex-club Barcelona. |

Nigeria scored 10 goals against their opponent Sao Tome and Principe. It was a great day for the Super Eagle, as they ended game with Clean sheets. While Sao Tome and Principe were unable to defend their territory.
However, Credits to Osimhen as he records his first haul goal for his country Nigeria. He deserve MOTM after his brilliant performance infront of goal. I think European teams will definitely show interest for the Nigeria-Born Striker who is getting a lot of attention and trends recently. Osimhen recorded 4 goals and 2 assists in the game.
I’m not excited about today’s performance by the Super Eagles, Sao Tome and Principe is not a football nation. Nigeria shouldn’t be proud of themselves for winning a weak side. This 10 nil victory isn’t worth so much, we had more objectives to meet this year and we failed. I would take a 1-0 victory over Ghana and qualify for the world cup than winning 10-0 and not play in the world cup. Nigeria should be happy honestly because it would have been to bad for Nigeria Tome have won Nigeria. We know how Nigeria are trying to be stable for a longtime, we really need to celebrate this victory. This victory might ginger Nigeria up to perform better to other teams in their next match. I was so shock with the result I heard today, though I expected Nigeria to win, but not with such goal difference. They performed so great today, I think this is one of the best super eagles game have ever watched as a Nigerian, they were so outstanding throughout the match. Victor osihmen on the other hand performed excellently today, he was outstanding throughout the match, he had a great positioning and that help him net 4 goals in the game. I think if the super eagles continue this way they might secure the Afcon this year. |

Kylian Mbappe was the best performing player for PSG last season indeed. If it wasn't for his this much amazing performance, they might have even had much more serious problems. Messi and Neymar need to support him by showing a much better level of performance next season. Otherwise, I don't think that PSG can win the Champions League title like they haven't so far. Besides they will need a better level of management also. They need a winner manager I think and Zidane comes first in this list to me now as I indicated it before.
They need to have a winning mentality. And also develop good cooperation. Nevertheless, Kylian Mbappe displayed an impressive performance last season, he scored 28 goals in Ligue 1, while he scored 6 goals in the Champion League. Pochettino didn't perform his work very well, because we expected him to lead the club into winning their first Champions League trophy last season. Zidane will probably be a good replacement. And hopefully he brings home the Champions League title next season. Yeah PSG performance last season wasn't good enough as we expected of them, bringing in Messi to the club was a good one, but they never play as we all expected. PSG recent squad have what it takes to win the champions league, but I think one of there serious problems is mismanagement, the team is lacking control, pochettino is not doing his job well as a coach. I think the team need a quality coach, that have a winning mentality, a coach that can manage and control the affairs of the club, I think they need a coach like zinedine zidane, he is a well respected coach due to his influence in football history. A coach like zidane will control the team, cautions the players when they did something wrong despite who you are. I think he is the best man for the job. |

Hungary 1 - 1 Germany
Germany failed to defeat Hungary and remained in 3rd place. Quite an interesting situation in the A3 group - from the first place to the last, the difference is 3 points. In this group of death, Hungary looks good and comes in second place. It will be unexpected if, as a result of the group stage, not Hungary, but England/Germany will fall out of the group. Italy seems to be playing solidly - at least they don't have defeats.
it's like a hell group but the gameplay shown in every match is not that impressive i guess. Even the goal ratio in the 3 matches that have been made in this group is very poor in my opinion. But on the other hand I quite applaud Hungary at the moment because they are very capable of dealing with the dominance of a club that is generally far above them Sure. I'm glad that I don't watch games - at most I read text broadcasts or then watch highlights. If I watched the games I would get a double disappointment, for example I bet on the victory of England against Italy and England cannot beat the second team of Italy (or the third lol). The game ends 0-0, if in addition to the lost bet I lost another 1.5 hours of time to see 0-0 I would be very angry. The performance of each team in the Nations League is very disappointing. And in most matches the second-tier players of the teams perform. As a result, the performance of the teams is worse. And it is very difficult to predict the outcome of the match between these teams. Strong teams are also losing badly against relatively weak teams. The performance of each team in the nation league is very disheartening, am so discourage with the performance of some of the great countries, examples Belgium, England, Germany, Italy e.t.c there performance in the UEFA nation league is not impressive, and I can hardly bet on any of them, Yesterday I lost my betslip cause of the trust I put in this countries, they are really making it hard for gamblers recently. |

Erling Haaland is unstoppable in his country game, he scored in their last match, now he has also recorded two goals both in the early minutes of first and second halves. The Norwegian is sharp and knows when to position infront of goals. Manchester city are luck to have him in their team because he's one of the tough goal machine currently. Erling Haaland is normally the target man in every Norway games although sometimes assisted by Odegaard. These two young lad are unstoppable in their various clubs.
One thing with Erling Haaland is that which ever match he plays, he tunes himself into the tempo of the game and he adapts. He plays with alot of determination and he is full of life. He has pure vision on post, he has good accuracy and his positioning is very accurate. Those qualities of his has given him edge that will help him excel in any team he finds himself. As opposed to what many people believe, Haaland will not find it difficult to adapt in England, unless Guardiola doesn't want to play any cental 9. If he doesn't want to play standing 9, he wouldn't have signed Haaland. O am confident that Haaland will enjoy his best days in England. Recently, Erling haaland is one of the best attacker we have in football. His consistency and impact, give him an edge above other players, he has alot of quality as a player, and he is very strong and sharp. Erling haaland is one of the player that every team which to have, he have pace and he is a consistent goal scorer. So having him as a player is a great opportunity, cause he had alot of qualities that will help strengthen your team attack. |

Dybala is out of contract at Juventus and both parties couldn't agree at a renewal, so he's officially a free agent, and every compensation for signing would be his, and addition of Dybala would make inter much better, and by the looks of it, Juventus having let go of a host of players have been pretty quite in the transfer window, they'll be less competitive imo if they fail to make replacement signings in this transfer window.
Dybala is such a good player, he has great potential but during the past seasons, he is not doing better in the team due to crucial injury and lack of game time. He will definitely leave the summer and some big teams are interested in the Argentine. Inter Milan is one big team that already has strong link with the player, althoug h Dyby is under probability to leave the team as Juventus don't seem to extend xintry with the player. We all know dybala is a good player, he is a experience player with a great potential. Though his last season performance at Juventus wasn't better, though he had some crucial injuries and he did not have enough game time in the club. He created alot of impact in the team, his time in the club will always be remembered in the heart of the fan, he was once a hero in the club and will forever be. I think the team no longer need him, cause his contract had expired already and he really need to move to a team that he will have enough game time. |

Soon we will see some UNL matches, but only 2 matches caught my attention. it was a match between England Vs Italy and Hungary Vs Germany.
England Vs Italy is a very crucial match for England, because currently they are only 4th in the standings. With their slumped condition in the table, I think the best bet is the bet for England to win. While on the other hand, Germany is also as bad as England. I will place 2 bets for England and Italy wins in today's match. How about you guys? did you add them to your bet list?
Italy is so unpredictable they can be a strong team but they disappoint sometimes therefore I do not recommend betting on one of them to win I'm more interested in the Netherlands vs Poland match, Netherlands have been playing well lately even beating favorites team like Belgium but of course the Poland striker was taken into consideration. To me I think England is the best team to win the game, I also placed a bet on them., though football can't be easily predicted sometimes. Recently England are really in a good position to secure a win against Italy, perhaps the both teams are strong they both have quality and experience players, but I think England squad is more stronger and they really have what it takes to win the match. Italy recent performance in the nation league is discouraging, they really needs to work on their pattern of play, and strengthen the defense line to avoid conceiving alot of goals. Though I suggest the both countries should be really watchful and careful, cause it won't be a easy for them. |

The core of Chelsea team is still intact except the departure of Rugider to Real Madrid other players are fringe players who Tuchel feels are not needed in his plan for next season, Lukaku had not live up to expectation and very inconsistent in his performance, Ziyech had not been a regular first team player, Werner has been wasteful in front of goal despite given enough playing time. Chelsea needed few more signings a good defender to replace Rudiger and a new striker, the team midfielders is enough have quality players like Kanye, Mount, Loftus-Cheek, Jorginho, Kovavic etc. With the amount of games played each season in different leagues, main players will get exhausted, there will be injuries... You cannot count only on them to maintain good results all over the season. Ziyech for example played like half games, Werner wasn't that useful. Lukaku performance was way under his ordinary level. There will be a destabilisation of the team with these changes but what counts more is to see new signing that will turn to be useful next. Will it be the case? We will see. The departure of Rudiger to Real Madrid is still a pain to the Chelsea fans and board as his great efforts to the defense line will be missed, Romelu Lukaku's performance and inability to do what's expected of him is appalling. Werner on the other hand has also been a failure to the team making their front line terrible as most of their goals are scored by their midfielders and defenders, getting new players especially strikers would help improve the team's front line as rumour has it that Ousman Dembele is on his way coming, every chelsea fan would be on their kneels to see this deal sealed off and also more strikers and a replacement for Rudiger as the fans can't complain of the midfield, not when Kante Joginho Kovavic etc are in charge of the midfield. Rudiger will be really missed at Chelsea, his impact in the defence line was a good one, his performance throughout his stay in the club is exceptional, he is really a good player and I think he deserve a world class team like realmadrid. His consistency in the defense can be trusted, Chelsea will really missed him, a player that don't like to see his team losing game, he will really be missed in the team defence line, cause created alot of unforgettable memories with the team. |
