The UEFA Nations League 2020/2021 Discussion Thread

England had a really big difficulty in finding that equalizer but they still managed to score in the last minutes of the match. Harry Kane saved one point for his team by scoring a penalty in the 88th minute. I was waiting for a quite competitive match and a draw at the end so the result didn't make me astonished or so. And in the other match of the same group, Italy defeated Hungary by a decent score like 2-1. Italy were the much better playing team by the way and even the goal they conceded was an own goal. Italy are leading the group now and it hasn't been a good start for Germany and England so far at all.

I believe Italy failure to qualify for the World Cup made the team to be rebuilded the team look stronger now, they had been playing brilliantly well in the Nation league and I am looking forward to their match against the English team, England vs Germany match was quite an entertaining match with Germany taking much of the possessions and I was very impressed with Musiala the German youngster who was very impressive and skillful player and congratulations to Harry Kane for scoring the penalty and his 50th goal for England.

The England v Italy match in three days is going to be very amazing for me too. It is one of the biggest matches in the League A. England are shown as the favourite team by bookmakers now. They have an odd like 1.60 now. It doesn't seem very realistic to me though. Italy are still a very solid team like England. I don't see a huge difference between these teams. The match is going to be played in England of course but I reckon Italy can make them big difficulties here and they might get a point too.

Talking about book markers, I doubt if their predictions will have any impact on the out come of the game, England have a very strong and solid team with lots of young talented stars and also they have matured experience players who I think will be feet to play the game but the Italy side is rebuilding now since they didn't qualify for World Cup so I think the game is going to be difficult for England to win. Italy will come out to attach knowing that Harry Maguire may appear in the defense line so I think the game will end in a draw because Italy will likely go back If they can not get a goal in the first half.

There are two good games in group 4 in league A today. Belgium and Poland will play. It's a must win game for Belgium because they lost first game. Even a draw wouldn't be enough for them. Poland have a good attacking power with Lewandowski and Buksa but Belgium will keep things tight from the start. Batshuayi showed himself in the first game, maybe he will start today. Most of top class players don't care about these games but bench players want to show themselves.
The other game will be between Wales and Netherlands. Wales don't have much chance in this group but Netherlands is the favorite both for the group and this match. I expect them to get another win to secure first spot. They showed great strength against Belgium in first game. Memphis, Bergwijn, Dumfries, Blind, Berghuis, almost all team played excellent. We may expect same thing happen today.

After watching the performance of the Netherlands in the first match, the Netherlands is undoubtedly the favorite in today's match. They had a remarkable 4-1 win against a strong team like Belgium. Throughout the match we have seen the extraordinary attacks of the Dutch players. On the other hand, the Wales team is relatively weak. Wales' only goal in today's match will be to draw the match. The Dutch players must perform very carefully if they want to win.

Belgium @1.61 v @5.75 Poland and Wales @7.50 v @1.44 Netherlands, I personally didn't do any analysis for today's match because I think wins on paper for Belgium and Netherlands are likely to happen. I only remember a little about their gameplay at the Euros yesterday and until now, I believe their gameplay does not have a significant difference and therefore I am also very confident that they will win. Especially about the Netherlands, they have gotten better now, so I have no doubts especially the opponent is Wales who although not a weak team but they are still not strong enough at the moment.

Frankly, I did not see very good matches in the bulletin. The match to be played between Portugal and Czechia managed to attract my attention a little. Maybe this match will be an enjoyable match to watch. Also, it's a great honor to still be able to watch the living legend Cristiano Ronaldo. I can watch any of his games. I can even watch him practice or train. :)

I'm sure the Netherlands will not decline in terms of its game against Wales but it's a bit of an advantage even though this will not know the outcome, I believe this opportunity is very big so I placed the bet.
Belgium vs Poland is also the same as choosing as the winner is Belgium this will not be a defeat and their players there are pretty good so it's too early if Belgium lose again.
Ireland vs Ukraine could be a draw.

I would say that ordinary spectators like us watch Portugal matches only to see Ronaldo's performance. We look forward to seeing the gameplay of living legends like Messi and Ronaldo. The match between Portugal and the Czech Republic will be very competitive. Because the Czech Republic's recent performance is excellent. They beat Switzerland and drew with Spain. So it will not be easy for Ronaldo's Portugal to win this match.

Belgium will not be able to disappoint again for its own audience. They didn't feel like it at all against the Netherlands, they can't afford to deliver another bad performance against Poland. Poland is of course also a lot worse than the Netherlands. The brown one will have to show a little more now. I suspect that the Netherlands will easily win this group in the Nation League.

[emrecemsan]

The Nations League has been going on quite interestingly. Because so far we have seen so many surprising results in many matches. For this reason I decided not to place any bet on any match in this tournament. I tried my luck already a short time ago but it was a failure at the end.    I just want to enjoy watching the matches that go on with a high tempo. Apart from that, there is a nice match like Belgium - Poland now and Poland have just got ahead thanks to Lewandowski's goal. I still think Belgium can make a comeback and win but we'll see.

It's almost half time and Belgium is behind 0-1 against Poland. Lewandowski striked again and now Poland looks like it can even win this game. Current odds are 2.7/3.3/2.5, so Poland is slightly favored. I am still puzzled how Belgium was able to reach FIFA rank 2. It's not like they won the last Euro or World Cups  

Scotland vs Armenia is at 2-0, a less surprising result. Scotland will take home a save victory it seems

edit: just as I'm writing Belgium could equalize! 1-1! so now it is getting more interesting again, maybe we'll see another Lewandowski

Witsel was able to equalize in the 42nd minute and for now the 1-1 result closed the first half. if you look at the stats, maybe in the second half there will be more goals from belgium because in the first half they were able to dominate the game. D bruyne played quite well in the first half and several times fired several shots on target . Apart from that Lewandowski was able to score early in the first half I think it was quite an interesting match.

[3meek]

For some reason I had no doubt that Scotland would play well against Armenia after losing to Ukraine, although they are completely different teams... The second half will probably be just as difficult for Armenia as the first... More interesting how Belgium will play against Poland in the second half...

[muratsink]

After losing their opening match I think Belgium will give everything in this match to win.
The odds of betting on Belgium's victory are very small to take advantage of, but I think it's worth it considering the quality of Belgium is very good and on paper Belgium are very favorites to win this match.

It was an unexpectedly big defeat for Belgium, I think in the match with Poland they should be rehabilitated. It will be a home match with the support of their fans, and despite the fact that Poland is a strong team, I still expect Belgium to win. I also expect Belgium to score at least two goals in this match. Belgium only needs a victory, otherwise the Netherlands can go into an unattainable lead.

Belgium is currently still drawing 1-1 until the first half where they fell behind through Robert Lewandowski's goal before Belgium finally managed to equalize through Witsel towards the end of the first half, of course they must not lose points in this match considering they lost heavily to their visitors The Netherlands in the first match where Belgium played so badly that they were thrashed out by the visitors with a landslide score of 1-4, even though this is only a friendly tournament which cannot be used as a benchmark like the big matches in the next world cup match where Belgium has a generation their last edition of gold was in 2022, where they have not been able to give the best results for the national team in the 4th annual event

[MinoRaiola]

The Match Belgium vs Poland is a good one. Because there are very good offensive players in the starting line-up. Lewandowski, De Bruyne, E. Hazard and Witselt make a good game. But Lewandowski was substituted a few minutes ago, Poland will probably lose the game. Belgium is much better.

[Distraction]

The Belgium - Poland match is going on unbelievably now. I didn't expect Belgium to win this match this much comfortably to tell the truth. The first half was balanced and ended by 1-1. The second half has been like a dream for Belgium. They have just made the score 5-1 and they are keeping this half under control very easily. I don't know how Poland gave up on this match this easy. They have only one shot in this half and it isn't on target also. This win should improve Belgium's morale too much after the Netherlands loss by 1-4 home.

Italy will come out to attach knowing that Harry Maguire may appear in the defense line so I think the game will end in a draw because Italy will likely go back If they can not get a goal in the first half.

I do not know, eventually England needs to realize that they have a very tough schedule left. Italy could be a bit of an easy one looking at their world cup situation, but at the same time not like they are going to come home empty handed all over again after such a disgraced result so they will play the best they could.

Maybe it will be great, maybe it won't be great, I do not know but I know for a fact that they will fight until the last second to win. It is going to be quite a good result and it will be fun to watch as well when both teams have so much to lose from a single game, the other game could be a loss, but this needs to be a win for sure for both of them.

Like watching an unbalanced match Belgium dominates from all sides while Poland only made 1 goal with 1 shot on target Poland can't do anything  
Whereas Belgium were beaten by Nederland last week and today they proved they still deserve to be counted on 5-1 is convincing right?
In the other match Ukraine won 1-0 against Ireland, not bad after failing in the world cup.

[Zackgeno96]

What a crazy match in the Netherlands. Led 0-1 for a long time after a goal early in the 2nd half. Then Wales scored in the extra time to make it 1-1 and that also looked to be the final score. But then Weghorst scored the 1-2 for the Netherlands in the 4th minute of extra time. A strange and also boring match. The Netherlands will now easily become group winner. The duel Belgium Poland was also a strange duel in this group.

6 goals were scored in 2 matches in 2 days by Turkey yesterday vs Lithuania which could be understood but Belgium trashing Poland that way was kinda humiliating..
Poland were leading most of the first half then in the second half 5 goals were scored by Belgium. It is a score in FIFA or PES game rather than a real one if I didn't see it happening
