The UEFA Nations League 2020/2021 Discussion Thread

[Soonandwaite]

oh,oh. what an embarrassment yesterday. in the beginning the german team was still good. but the longer the game lasted the more anxious the german players became.
I think jogi löw should slowly retire . germany needs fresh blood on the trainer ( coach )  position  

or >>> the german players were afraid of the corona virus. that's why they were so far away from the spanish players

It looks like today isn't good day for my bets
Only my bet for Albania win against Belarus  was correct.
Maybe I should change my other bets..
Maybe we will  witness a miracle and Poland won't lose against Netherland

I totally forgot actually that Armenia won their last group game as underdogs against Georgia and were sitting pretty at 35/10 odds today. I know they're in the middle of conflict (ceasefire now) and that usually does give the footballers some extra motivation to do well and give the people more to shout about. Georgia's always been the one I cheer for in that group, but they've not been doing themselves many favours with so many draws.

But this kind of group's just a big mystery to me. We all thought N Macedonia would top it, didn't we? I thought Georgia would...

I think the match between the Netherlands and Poland is unpredictable. Both teams are equally strong. Lewandowski is in the Poland's squad. He is an extraordinary striker. He has some great skill.

It is a Factual evidence that lewandowski is an exciting football since his days at BVB till last season and even this season his keeps getting better, and he brings this experience to the polish national team not just being there top striker his presence gives the other player in the team confidence and during match days they go out fearlessly seeing him lead them. But my bet would be on dutch team, they dont have a lewandowski but have better players in more positions than the polish team.

A lot of games on last machday of Nations league. Some of my picks for today :
Poland - Netherlands over 2.5 @1.77
England - Iceland over 2.5 @1.60
Serbia -  Russia away win @2.50
Ireland - Bulgaria home win @1.80
Belgium - Denmark home win @1.75
Greece - Slovenia under 2.5 @1.57
And after today games we will say goodbye to international football until next year.
I'm happy that my country Lithuania achieved win against Kzakhstand and we will stay in C league. This Nations League campaign was huge relief for us, after few terrible years when we didn't achieved win in official game for 4 years!

A lot of games to pick from really, I have chosen to go with a 3 team parlay; Netherlands, Italy and Belgium to ML @5.2+ Odds.

I'll be tuning on Poland vs Netherland, It should be an interesting encounter,  else  I will have to settle for England vs Iceland

oh, no, Lewandowski alone won't win any match; Poland played terribly against Italy - Poland has problems with midfielders -
 but surprisingly they already scored (Kamil Jozwiak after excelent rally; but seems to now Poland played worse and worse - Netherlands has 3 shots on goal already.

Honestly I would have never guessed something like this, it is really something special and not something we could see that commonly, a 6-0 win and over Germany, usually it is Germany that scores like this and they rarely ever get this kind of results on them, they are pretty good in almost every tournament. In any case nations league may not be something teams care about, and there are many corona virus infected players and some didn't even showed up and I can name many reasons why Germany could have lost, there are plenty of them available.

However it is also obvious that no matter what reason you give, a team like Germany shouldn't have lost 6-0, it should have been something like 3 at most if they wanted to play bad and that is it, anything more and it is humiliation for them.

[coinlocket$]

Italy is winning in 1st half and they have a foot in the semifinals...

The last one should be Belgium.

France
Italy
Belgium
Span

Usually i don't judge people that i don't know personally, but to me it seems that Joachimg loew just became to stubborn and arrogant after the world cup win in 2014 and alle the praise he got back then.
The decision to sack Boateng, Hummels and Müller was completely unnecessary and i think he only did it to profile himself and it went horribly wrong.
If Löw was a club trainer he would have been already fired a long time ago, it's time to do that now and then the new manager must bring Müller, Boateng and Hummels back.

[Altryist]

No objection, French side is great too. I wonder if any of them dominate tournaments.
Belgium had a great generation but they failed to win big tournaments. Spain, Germany and France are always at the top, you can add Italy too here. England has maybe the best national league but their national team has no achievement, which is very ironic.

Belgium has a very young team and I think there is simply not enough experience to win decisive matches. England has always been more focused on the Primier League, they have it more prestigious than the matches of the national teams and even the Champions League matches. They get very good contracts with big pay for the broadcasts of the national championship, I think that is the determining factor. Although England always looks very strong in the group stage.

[Trofo]

Very good and interesting match between Belgium and Denmark with lots of good chances. Just the game I needed to relax in the middle of the week

WTF happened with Austria? They are playing at home against Norway who is missing first 18 players. They all stayed in quarantine in Norway and they had to call another new squad and now they are on the brink of victory. Incredible!

Serbia finally found a victim, 5:0 against Russia. Should have scored few of those goals in Euro qualification would have meant much more.

You guys saw what goal Courtois just conceded?:

Ridiculous
Very fun game to watch, lot of goals, not an easy win for Belgium.
Biggest surprise is huge Serbia win against Russia. It's not surprising that they won, but 5:0 is something huge. Can't remember Russia humioiated so big recently.
In other games favorites achieved wins.
Poland - Netherlands game was interesting. Netherlands played better, but scored winning goal just in the end of game.
International break is over, back to club football.

[cygan]

indeed the very clear victory of serbia over russia was a small surprise today
i watched the whole game poland vs. netherlands - in this game netherlands was the stronger team with the better chances to score
in the end the netherlands left the field as the deserved winner

Well he's a great goalkeeper , but he's human too , so sometimes making mistakes like that is just normal.

I just think since he move from chelsea, he made quite often mistakes than ever, don't know what's wrong with him, feel bad for him leaving chelsea in hatred though.
I think all the big teams won the game , Netherlands.. Italy.. Belgium and england.. a parlay with these selections would give you around x7.7.
Anyone?

[marioantonini]

I don't know about you, but I don't like the Italian game at all, always modest performances (with low-level teams) and everyone excited for the victory.

But Today, the goal scored by Berardi was really very nice, but he should have won 5-0, while instead only 2-0

[TedMosby]

Half a dozen Spanish goals made it look like Germany was learning to play football. Seeing possession of the ball and their shots are very far apart, Spain is very dominant. It seems like Joachim Loew wants to give a new feel by calling some new players. Jonathan Tah, Mahmoud Dahoud and Antonio Rudiger of the three names, only Jonathan Tah who entered to replace Niklas Sule. Jonathan Tah's substitution looked in vain because in the second half they again conceded three goals. It seems like Joachim Loew is too insistent on calling the three players who don't get enough playing time at the club. I think there are many other players who are even better and that can make for better player choices.

too bad that I missed this match. by looking at the stats, I don't think Germany takes this match seriously.
or they did it on "purpose" 
they got only 2 shots, 0 shots on goal, with 30% of ball possession.
meanwhile, Spain got 23 shots, 10 shots on goal, 70% of ball possession.
really, this UEFA nations league is just like a competition to mix and match a squad.

Courtois is a meme material nowadays. lol

Even though Iceland have indeed surprised many football fans around the world when they managed to qualify for the last World Cup which was held in Russia, but it seems that it is quite a huge burden for Iceland to be playing in the Uefa Nations League being placed in League A, as Iceland have struggled to score goals against other teams and have also lost all their matches in the group. Maybe the players of Iceland would find it much better to play in League B after their relegation from League A.

Yeah. It was a suprising match. 5-0 is unbelievable final score but I guess at least I can trust it since Germany lost 6-0 the latest match.

Russia had 20 shots compare with 12 shots from Serbia but it seems that Serbia was more effective than its neighbor.

Netherlands is undoubtedly better than Poland. So it is not a shocking event when they won
