The UEFA Nations League 2020/2021 Discussion Thread

[Trofo]

after two missed penalties, Spain just scored, and it is now 1:1 with Swiss
as of now, all teams scored at least a goal in League A, expect for Portugal

Those 2 missed penalties from Ramos today really surprised me, he always scores them for Real. First one was a good defense from the keeper while second one was taken really badly. They deserved that late goal, were much better in second half.

That goal from Croatia makes it for really interesting last day of Nations league in this group, at least for us

The only good thing about yesterday was Ronaldo scoring goal 746 and he tie with Puskas for the 4th all-time scorer.

He now needs
21 goal to tie with Pele
26 goals to tie with Romario
59 goals to be number 1 in the world.

He can probably do this in the next 2 years in Juventus with the club, in the next nation League and in the next Euro 2020 2021.


The risk is that he will passed soon later by Messi, he is 2 years younger  

Messi is two years younger but could retire from football before c,ronaldo does, take zlatan ibrahimovic some of his juniors has retired from football but he looks fit enough to have a go at another season after this one finishes and its top flight, c,ronaldo has the strength to do so and also messi minus injuries, this two are the greatest and they will have their separate world record that the other person can't break.

Its obvious that c.ronaldo will break those records before his retirement from active soccer the dude work rate is superb and goal scoring rate is high, he is likely to attain that milestone ahead of Messi, even despite the fact that age is not on his side, he is firing at all cylinders, an indication that he will still be active I'm many more years to come.
Meanwhile Messi might not the strength to continue  playing active soccer like Ronald its very glaring that its not the usual Messi we use to see in those days in Barcelona.

Cristiano is in top physical form considering his age in which many other players have quit playing.I think that based on this performance he will soon be number one in the world.About Messi I would not worry much that he will pass Ronaldo as he is not scoring like he used to with Barcelona nowadays.

I heard Cristiano Ronaldo has some kind of knee disease which cause him terrible pain, but he is still able to play thanns to his ambition, however it is not sure how long it will be possible.

Todays matches, Switzerland - Spain very interesting. Spain has 2 penalties, both was saved by Sommer - unusuall thing!

I am also feeling very bad for these two penalities because I just check he never miss any penalty for Real Madrid today in this match he waste two its really unusual from player like him but all done already and peoples lost some good amount on these penalties and match.

Wow, Ramos missed 2 penalties, something waht doesn't happens often. And both of his attempts were really terrible. Only late goal by Moreno let Spain to take 1 point from the game.
Germany did what they were supposed to do. Easy win against Ukraine, despite that Germany conceded early goal.
Didn't watched Portugal - France, seems it wasn't bad game.
I have nothing to say about other games because it was really boring. Maybe tomorrow we will see some better games.

You don't often hear that someone misses 2 penalties in a match. If you miss the first penalty, you have to ask yourself whether you want to take another penalty.
Must be something he won't soon forget, despite all his experience. Both France and Portugal have amazing teams with amazing players.

Everybody must be angry at him
Especially if you put your money in spain to win
2 great opportunity and gave it all away for the draw , lucky for me to not place any moneypine bet for spain as  i was have a feeling this gonna be either draw or Switzerland shocks spain which it is nearly hppened if only was not for that red card and the late goal from moreno.

[notblox1]

I missed watching any match today but I just looked at Nations League results now  
This confirms what I was thinking all the time, that this League is most unpredictable, and most boring in the world.
Spain managed to get a draw in last minutes, and missed two penalties...

Today wasn't a good day with some disappointing results here and there. Particularly disappointed to see Portugal lose against France. I was gunning for a Portugal win after their recent 7-0 Andorra thumping. I wasn't expecting a 7-0 win against France but somewhere around 2-1 or so. I don't even want to mention Spain's game. They fell short once again.

Thiis one of the reasons why I don't like watch Nations League matches. I feel like teams have very little motivation to win games.

[Slow death]

Portugal - 1 France

I was very confident that Portugal would win this game, but I was surprised by the good performance of Franca and Franca could have scored at least 2 goals in this game... Portugal's next game will be against the Croatia, I think Portugal will not have many difficulties in winning the game and the france also will win against sweden

Spain 1 - 1 Sweden

I was surprised by this draw from spain

i was expecting a lot from Portugal, they have some really good players, i think their team now is better than the team who won the Euro in 2016
but somehow they couldn't manage to score and lost against France today, really disappointing.

i have lost a good multiple bet, germany, france and Spain, i can't believe whe i see Ramos missed 2 penalties, after having missed the first, in my opinion he should not have shot the second, but that wouldn't have changed the game.
next game Germany - Spain will be really fun

[boltz]

So Norway just decided not to play with my country today ( Romania ) because of 1 covid case and I think they will loose 3-0 as a penalty. Uefa just decided that the game won't be moved to another date so for me it's a good news as we barely got 4 points so now we might have 7 out of nothing. But we're still not gonna be present at EURO so I don't know how this Uefa Nations cup really works.

The first penalty was a bit good, It was the Swiss keep that made a great save, but the second penalty was awful to say the least, seemed Ramos was second guessing himself. He's had such a great run from the 12 yard spot, missing 2 penalties in one night was really weird.

Ramos really fumbled with the two penalties, the first one was not too fast that gave Swiss goalkeeper the chance of pushing the ball away, the second one wasn't the best at all missing two penalties in a match is just a coincidence it can happen to any good player, Ramos had a bad day that is football for you,  at least spain earning a draw in that match is a big relief to them rather than losing to a low rated Switzerland.

There is another factor in every match yes it is luck, Switzerland got it today. Referring to the match statistics, Spain should be able to win easily. 20 shot , 7 shot on target and  71% ball position, it's the same as Madrid against a 2nd division team 

[ingiltere]

Germany has only 1 win and 3 draws in this group, I don't think they let one more point loss to happen. They will beat Ukraine at home easily if they play with full discipline and concentration.

Germany didn't bring us down. They got a clear win by 2 goals margin as expected.

Today there are better matches and fixture is longer than yesterday. Match of the day is Belgium - England. I'll probably watch simultaneously this match and Italy - Poland match.
Before those matches, we have a Turkey - Russia clash which should be a very intense game.

[Slow death]

Netherlands - Bosnia

Netherlands needs to win in that game, they only have a victory and they will be playing with the weakest team, but the odd is very low @ 1.40 it doesn't pay to bet on that game, the under market seems to me to be a good option for this game, something under 3 since Netherlands is not scoring many goals in that league of nations in the last two games

Belgium - England

all betting sites are giving belgium as a favorite for this game

Italy - Poland

in my opinion Italy will win this game and has a good odds "@1.70". I will bet on this game

[Karartma1]

International games can be boring and we all know that but yesterday's Nations League was very entertaining! I watched Portugal France and I enjoyed it very much (I bet on France winning for the betnomi tournament). The French deserved to win: Griezmann was at his best, Kanté is such a powerful player and Rabiot let the Portuguese defense go mad. Today I have Italy Poland on the menu

[cygan]

uefa has cancelled the match between romania and norway scheduled for sunday evening.
after the positive corona test of Omar Elabdellaoui, the norwegian health authority had ordered quarantine for the entire team.
the uefa control committee must now decide on the score of the game...

[slaman29]

Ah so terrible for me last night, Spain lost me the game since I had them on a few multis. Ramos makes 26 consecutive penalties, and then misses 2 in a row. I always did wonder why keepers took so long to get wise with his panenkas... and now I guess finally someone actually did;) Ramos is mentally strong though. He won't let this get him down.
