The UEFA Nations League 2020/2021 Discussion Thread

[BitcoinHunt3r]

It wasn't the best day in the Nations League so far I'm afraid. The England - Italy game was a very poor one. England should have won this game after playing decently but they wasted another chance. They don't seem very serious in this tournament now. Germany also couldn't defeat Hungary but it hasn't been easy to do this against them in away games as well. Hungary play well in their home games.

I also saw the same thing like they were not too serious in this match when they get the chance to win easily but can't do it if we think this is a coincidence but it shouldn't be almost every match. However I will avoid more bets in this tournament because the chance of losing will be higher I prefer to enjoy it as a spectacle. If I have to bet it is not on the winning/ losing market.

The Nations League was really interesting today. I mean that all of the matches in the League A ended in draws. This was definitely not the thing I was expecting to see. The England - Italy match was really boring and maybe it was related to its being played with no spectators. The Netherlands - Poland one was an interesting one as Poland got 2-0 ahead first and Netherlands made the score 2-2 in a short time. They missed a penalty too in the last minutes and Poland stole the point they wanted.

It's not a good thing to see 2 my bets are lost here and indeed the English and Italian games are really boring even though in terms of possession and chances there are quite a lot but it makes me sleepy because there really isn't anything interesting there.
For the Netherlands I was very confident at first but indeed they forgot the defense area when they focused on attacking which resulted in them conceding a goal and Poland indeed for the first half and the beginning of the second half were very good but already 2 goals ahead they seemed to have forgotten their concentration which made 2 goals in return with easy.

Not only did England fail to beat Italy, but they failed to win three consecutive games for the first time. As of now, it seems teams in this tournament are not very serious. The top 5 European teams are not performing well, not just England. These games are not needed and are badly timed. There hasn't been a break for these guys, especially the top teams, but they are straight into international competition.

Maybe yes, because the players who played in the England team were at least mostly players who fought until the end to be competed in their respective clubs, so that might make him too tired. But I don't think that's the problem because of course they have a good treatment because even the French team which is expected to be a strong team in this tournament but they haven't got a win so far. Though, the French team players got better rest but they haven't shown anything great and strong so far.

I agree with you, after what happened in 3 matches many big team teams did not win even though they were very favorites and even in quality they would win but the final result of the match was inversely proportional to the predictions of many people, it is better to avoid betting here because of this very difficult to predict.
but for the seriousness of the team in this tournament, I don't doubt it, but I think the less than optimal results that the big teams have reaped cannot be separated from the fatigue of the players.

One thing with the English player's, is that they're simply over hyped and overated,but not really of em though. The first half was not too tiring as the second half, the player's substituted had more impact in the game, Tammy Abraham at most, Jack Grealish created nothing holding balls for too caused eye irritation for me! Southgate is biased, trying so hard to close down Harry Maguire's weakness by playing him as the number 5 defender with less disturbance from attacking players, from my analysis, James had a very bad game as a result of not joining attack's, trying to stay back so as to close down Harry Maguire's track and errors cause he has no speed.

Bowen came in and couldn't make a good one either, was simply not composed in the final third, as he lost some expensive passes and ball's. It's embarrassing isn't it ? They should have won games like that to keep up to the test, four game's without winning any!

It seems that Hungary has gone and done their homework because they really are performing satisfactorily in this tournament. Considering their performance in previous games, they are different now. I expected that Germany will thrash them but it seemed big things come in small packages. I look forward to seeing them cause setbacks when they meet next with England. A good way to hold Germany down but a win would have pleased Coach Marcos Rossi.

Indeed, the matches of the best teams in the world are quite seedy. When we look at the squads, we see that many teams do not care about these matches. That's why I have thoughts that this league is not really necessary.
Even the match between England and Italy was pretty boring and we couldn't even watch a goal

[3meek]

The funny thing is that all the matches in the two groups were drawn... Of course the Netherlands were the most disappointing because they had to win... Belgium is also much stronger than Wales... Probably won't bet on these matches again because they can't be predicted...

I feel that the UEFA Nations League tournament is only a friendly match for national teams to hone their young talents or maintain the stamina of players who have taken leave after the competition holidays.so that many countries do not play all out, so it is only natural that we can say that where in the match Germany could only draw against the hosts Hungary even though the der panzer team controlled the match as well as the England national team even though they had many chances but they could not beat their visitors Italy so both teams had to settle for a goalless draw, of course it would be a loss for the players themselves when they can't appear in the world cup because it will be held in a few months

I've lost more money than I've made since the Nations League matches began because it's such a bad competition, the players don't seem to be taking it seriously, and the managers frequently do squad rotation, making predictions impossible, just look at France, England, and Italy. It's insane, lol.

A crab competition, these players should be on vacation against next season.

Nobody takes the tournament seriously. Especially football players who have played 40-50 matches in a season in Europe do not care much about this tournament. They are also right. They play more matches during a period when they need to rest. If there are fewer match schedules, maybe there will be interest in the tournament. If there is interest in the tournament, the quality of the tournament also increases. Quantity does not provide quality. UEFA officials need to reconsider the situation.

Croatia is really messing with my bets. I started watching the game and we were horrible - especially with the lineup that Dalić started with.
I placed a bet on Denmark and another one on their handicap win and they could have scored easily in the first 15 minutes or so.

After Dalić introduced Modrić and Kovačić we fully took control of the game and should have won with even a bigger difference.
Whatever I do - I simply cannot get our game correct. I missed the outcomes of all 3 of them so far.

England - Italy should be fun tonight though. I'm betting on England.

I completely understand you. I was also sure that Croatia would beat Austria and I was sure that we would lose to Denmark and everything happened differently than predicted.
In this competition, it is difficult to predict the results because the main players of the team are tired and the coaches want to try new, young players for the World Cup.
That is why there are really a lot of unexpected results and even France is currently last in our group 
The real strength of all these teams will still be seen at the World Cup at the end of the year in Qatar.

It is probably possible to use predictions in reverse... For example, today the leader of the standings, Portugal will play against the underdog Switzerland... I dare to guess that Switzerland will win this game... By the way the bookies know something and give very high odds for Portugal's win 2.2...

The World Cup and EURO are the tournaments where the players always try to show their best game. It is not clear what status the League of Nations has now, it is already clear that not all teams treat it with the same importance. But the top players are professionals who do their job, they are called up to the national team and they play, it's just not clear, do they need this one more tournament?

Portugal slightly different from other big teams because their performance seems stable in this competition and today they will faced Swiss and if we see from their recent performance obviously Portugal is the favourite because they were unbeatable with 2 won and 1 draw from 3 matches and Swiss seems still struggle to get first win from this competition because currently they had 3 consecutive lose and seems Portugal win as bet option is safe pick because on the paper they should be able to win the match

I have no doubts for Portugal's victory in the match against Switzerland but I suggest avoiding big bets in this tournament because as we all know that in this tournament very often unexpected things happen with the loss of the favorite team.

in the 3 matches that have ended I have lost a lot because the big teams experienced less than optimal results, I think the big teams are not too serious to play in this tournament, it is clearly seen by the many rotations of players that occur,to make them get less than optimal results.

but in this match I will still bet on Portugal's victory, but if I again reap defeat maybe in the remaining matches of this tournament I will only be a spectator

[MAAManda]

The first half of the Northern Ireland vs Cyprus match has ended. No one expected Cyprus to be able to lead by 1 goal against Northern Ireland. Apart from them being a weaker team than Northern Ireland, they also didn't dominate this game. So do you think Northern Ireland can beat Cyprus in this match?

I'm more dominating Portugal will win this fight. because portugal has a positive trend in this competition because from 3 matches they were able to present 2 wins and one draw. quite different to swiss stats in the last 3 games they have never won. Ronaldo will probably be the player who will make a name on the scoreboard and I predict this match will create a lot of goals, it could be 2-1 for Portugal victory.

As I've imagined between Italy and England score were a draw. Italy has done better than England, and this is good for them, many new player has played yesterday evening and they has showed so many good things.

Hope that future for Italy will be good, considering that is the 2nd consecutive time that they has been excluded from the International Cup.
