The UEFA Nations League 2020/2021 Discussion Thread

[püsür]

The biggest advantage of Portugal this year is that its squad is almost full in the premier league. Ronaldo, Bruno, Neves, Bernardo, Jota, Cancelo, Dias, Jose Sa, J. Moutinho etc. It has many stars and with the pace of play these players play in their leagues, this place feels extremely fluid and easy. This is a huge advantage for them in the World Cup. In Portugal, there are quality players in the primary league, others play in the good teams of Europe, so it is a very good team and I hope it will do well in the world cup. I hope they win and Ronaldo leaves it on top.

However, They may have problems in defence. There is nothing to say about Pepe's experience, but maybe because of his age, I don't know, he makes obvious position mistakes in his last matches and Danilo is not a quality player to fill his gap in my opinion. Especially if they can find a defender with a dynamic and high position knowledge, they will be the biggest favourite of the tournament.

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?

Cyprus took the lead 2-0 and Northern Ireland managed to stay together 2-2 with a very good comeback. Evans scored the equalizer in the 90+3rd minute and they saved the draw. Northern Ireland was the better side with 19 positions throughout the match, but they even saved the draw at the last moment. With this score, both teams reached 2 draws and increased to 2 points.

Northern Ireland played so sloppy that they trailed 0 - 2 to Cyprus. Northern Ireland should have won this match if we look at the match stats. There is 1 unique fact after the results of their match, which is the third time they have played a draw, after their previous 2 matches which also ended in a draw.

Besides that, I still don't think that Kosovo is in 2nd place in the standings, it is true what Kevin de Bruyne said that these matches at UNL are not serious matches.

I think these matches are at the level of friendly matches. A lot of big teams come out with their second teams.  Somehow this nations league took the form of a tournament where players were tried. De Bruyne is right. They already wanted to get out of the hectic pace like EPL and enter the holiday mode. Just as we were getting out of this tempo, the players did not listen because of the League of Nations. There will also be players who will go to the world cup from here. That's why they complain a lot, and I think they're right.

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...

Belgium always needed to win against Wales but they again failed... I get the impression that nobody really takes this Nations League serious so I will probably also not bet anymore on this Nations League. Or maybe just place some bets on the underdogs, that can be interesting  .

However, in this group Greece are the best and they are Northern Ireland and Cyprus are the only two teams ranked bottom. Although indeed, Northern Ireland has a chance to win if I consider the odds but I don't think this kind of issue is serious or not. Because if they think this tournament is just a waste of time, then why are they still trying to make a draw and even Kevin De Bruyne with Belgium still playing with great efforts. So, I'm not sure they're not playing seriously, but if I consider trying some strategies for world cup preparation then at least it makes more sense.

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.

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...

Portugal is the only serious team in the competition, playing as if they want to win every game. Switzerland is a good team, but I doubt they will be able to get past Portugal.
Portugal to score first @ 1.73

I was very disappointed to see Belgium's performance yesterday. In the previous match, Belgium had a remarkable 6-1 victory over Poland. So I guess Belgium will win this match at least 2-1. But they drew the match. At the same time their performance was not good. They played defensive tactics in this match.

[LGD2Business]

Norway is playing excellent again and is very close to beating Sweden. Erling Haaland scored 2 goals and provided 1 assist. Alexander Sörloth scored the other goal. Norway will retain the lead with this result. It's impossible to understand how Haaland manages to play so well in every game. Some players choose a match, he's good in every match. Some players show fluctuating graphics, even if he plays badly in every match, he scores and contributes. We can say that he is the clearest best goal scorer in the world right now.

[execijutiere]

Northern Ireland played a dominant game but could not win the match. They played almost alone.  Greece will probably get out of this group comfortably.

In the Norway-Sweden match, Norway is now 3-1 up after scoring with their forwards. Haaland and sörloth scored the goals that brought the team 3 points.

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.

Switzerland  1 : 0 Portugal

I am now watching the match between Switzerland vs Portugal. Today my guess is that Switzerland will win. Because the main player in Portugal's squad Ronaldo is missing today. Switzerland took a 1-0 lead with a goal just 1 minute into the match. My prediction is that Switzerland will be able to win this match 1-0. Let's see what will happen.

I think your precdiction is going to be correct. Because after scoring in the first minute, the players of Switzerland are not trying to attack any more. They are playing completely defensive. And in 30 minutes they were able to make only one shots. They will probably want to win this match 1-0 by playing defensively.

In the Norway-Sweden match, Norway is now 3-1 up after scoring with their forwards. Haaland and sörloth scored the goals that brought the team 3 points.

Northern Ireland played really well but the problem was they went behind by two goals. And it is never easy to make a comeback after getting two down especially at the moments that they had gone behind. I think they have done really well to make a comeback and draw the match. I think they have done really well to make a comeback and draw the match. They hung in till the end and it was a good comeback. Even though it was only for a draw.

Erling Haaland performs really well in the match against Sweden. It was a 3-2 win for Norway. A huge part of the credit goes to Erling Haaland .

Georgia 0 - 0 Bulgaria

 

another damn game that ends in a draw and made me lose my bet. honestly it was a pretty easy game for Georgia, all they had to do was score a goal and win the game, but no, they just didn't score and the game ended in a draw and I lost money again

Slovenia 0 - 1 Serbia

as expected the Serbia is winning the game




Switzerland 1 - 0 Portugal

without cristiano ronaldo it will be very difficult for portugal to win this game

Spain 1 - 0 Czech Republic

this is a good opportunity for spain to win

Malta 0 - 0 San Marino

i expected Malta to win this game but they are having a hard time scoring goals so my hopes for them to win are gone

[BitcoinHunt3r]

Interesting matches today include Spain Vs Czech Republic and Switzerland vs Portugal, as usual not interested in betting here because sometimes it's annoying
More interested in monitoring whether these two teams will draw or lose like the other favorite teams and for a while Portugal conceded the first
is this an indication they will draw too   my hunch says yes maybe  

[judas]

Spain have been leading 1-0 against Czech Republic and their performance has been quite good so far too. Spain are likely to win their matches with low scores and this is another candidate for that. Maybe their opponent can score one goal but Spain can still win by getting ahead once again. The biggest surprise so far has been the score of the Switzerland - Portugal game. Switzerland scored in the second minute already and they are in the lead by 1-0 in the last minutes of the first half. I don't see Ronaldo even in the subs now but I still think they can turn this game around and win.
