The UEFA Nations League 2020/2021 Discussion Thread

The France-Belgium match played yesterday was one of the best matches I've watched recently. Although Belgium seemed to cut France's ticket in the first half, France made a comeback with their great players. I can't forget Pogba's freekick shot, I wish there was a goal. It was a really sad defeat for Belgium, they think they deserve it, maybe they are right, but France did not allow it. In the second half, it was really difficult for them to keep the pressure.

In the first half Belgium actually played quite well, but after a 2-0 win it seemed they preferred to play it safe, even though Belgium continued to attack but it didn't look as effective as they did in the first half, I think France deserved to win in that match, because they saw the french players kept trying hard enough and never gave up even though they had conceded 2 goals, the final score of 2-3 was a testament to the incredible comeback from france.
I can't wait to see the final of the nations league between spain and france of course it will be an ideal and quite balanced final.

The first half was completely under the control of Belgium. But in the second half they fell behind. France came on the truck very well and scored 3 goals. For me it was unexpected. I thought maybe in the second half would dominate the Belgian player. But suddenly the gameplay slows down. However, after a long time from France we got to see a good gameplay.

It has to be true and I think Belgium will do it again in the second half. But what happened was that Belgium was really depressed throughout the second half despite having won 2 goals since the first half. Before Benzema scored, I thought Belgium could still hold on and add one more goal against France but all else failed after Benzema scored from a mess in front of goal and since then Belgium have been a complete mess. This should be an important lesson for them even though they only have a chance to finish third if they win against Italy.

I'm so sorry for the generations in Belgium, it was unfair for them. Let's give them kudos and wish them luck in the future. I would have loved to see Spain vs Belgium in the finals, but unfortunately Belgium bailed out once again. France, however, have reached the UEFA Nations League final after a thrilling 3-2 comeback win over Belgium. Congrats to France on reaching the final! The UEFA Nations League final between Spain and France should be exciting to watch.

Belgium is unfortunately lost the match. But I can't say that France is playing badly. France has performed very well compared to their previous matches. And they deserve this victory. Belgium also played very well. I am happy to see the finals in France and Spain. One team will depend entirely on youngsters, almost all the players on the other team are experienced. Basically the game will be France vs Mourinho.

It going to be a really pulsating encounter, I'll be rooting for Spain and I believe they will win, I really admire the current Spanish national team and I have to say Luiz Enrique is doing a really great job. The thing is they do not have a star-studded team like France and that could play to their advantage, the French national team is a collection of stars and big egos and though it makes them a lethal force to reckon with, but it can also be to their disadvantage as they may struggle to unite as a team sometimes. I expect Spain to play 'collectively' like they did against Italy and that could lead them to victory against the world champions.

Belgium went from leading by 2 goals to a shamefull defeat by 2-3 goals which is due to several factors.. the awakening of the French team in the second half, weak and slow defense and some tactical mistakes also... After all it is a well merited win for France.

I really do not think we can say Belgium had a shameful defeat! They even had a goal ruled out because of VAR intervention, so they tried. France is a former and looking like a future world champion. No shame to lose to them and scoring 2 goals in return

Either side would have deserved to win but we thank them for giving us a match to watch rather than a draw to forget.

Well leading with 2 goals for most of the time then get knocked with 3 goals in half an hour couldn't be named other than a collapse which is shameful. I didn't mean Belgium was horrible or bad but losing that way was a big disappointment and shameful... Dunno if you understand what I mean.
Next Sunday will be very interesting, odds are backing Italy and France, we will see if this will be the case.

This will be very different from me, in the final I will dominate France who won even though what you said is true and France has star players with their respective egos but at least in the final we can be more solid to face this tougher Spain, then this should not be underestimated because Luiz Enriqu will really play great tactics while France will certainly rely on fast attacks and defense must be stronger for France because Spain will be early when playing the ball in front of the opponent's goal.
This final would be ideal maybe I think France will feel champion again after winning the World Cup.

[cryptofrka]

It was a really great semifinal between Belgium and France. I was certain that I've lost my bet after the 1st period, I never epected France would score 3 goals and turn it around.

That's 2/2 for me so far, I had a big bet on Spain and a medium one on France. I'm going to end with all-in on France, at this point in time I think they are far superior in all parts of the pitch.

Sorry if I misunderstood then,,, maybe shameful for us is a bit different thing. If you are a Spurs fan like me then you forget to be ashamed and instead start feeling sorry to everyone and embarassed for playing the way we play

Italy and France,,, nice parlay it would seem in the opposite direction?

Surely it's big disappointment for them as they lead in first half and then suddenly things change in last 30 minutes they lost their lead and at the end they lost the match in very bad way.

In first half France was not bad at all as they were also in good touch, but sadly they were not able to have their chances in conversations. But suddenly in last 30 minutes lady of luck hug with them, and they have some extraordinary energy which bring them as victorious at the end of game.

Now France vs Spain is going to be one of the best game as both teams emerged in very good way for this final.

It was amazing how France happens to win the game after losing with 2 goals in the first half. My expectations was that Belgium will win the match, Lukaku tried all his best, and one of his goal was cancelled, which resulted to Belgium losing the match. Although France was also given a penalty kick, and Mbappe scored. Benzema was an important figure in the match, he played awesomely.  I can't wait to see them play against Spain in the finals. Honestly, I don't know who will win the match, and probably lift the trophy.

This final would be ideal maybe I think France will feel champion again after winning the World Cup.

After the semifinals, I would give some advantage to the Spanish national team, which is beginning to regain its former power and authority, which allowed the team to earn titles at the European and world championships earlier. However, one should not underestimate the power of the French national team, which, thanks to the skill of its leaders, can turn the course of matches that are developing unsuccessfully for them and which was clearly manifested in the match with Belgium. And the Spanish national team, with its confident team play, interrupted the great series without defeats against the Italian national team, which stopped at 37 matches and conceded more than one goal for the first time in three years.

If Spain plays like they did against Italy they can win this,but i think if Spain isnt at its apsolute best they wont be able to beat France in this match. We seen how good France was after they were 2:0 down . Like a new team came on the field in the second half and won 2:3 in the end. Spain will have to play their best football for all 90 minutes to win it.

I also believe that Spain is much stronger than France. Spain has done something very special, they have defeated Italy after 37 wins. In the semifinals of the European Championship was also very close. France showed great confidence against Belgium and they ended up winning with a little luck. I thought Italy will play in the final, but Spain take the place at the top.

The third place and the final matches are going to be played tomorrow. First, Italy are going to play against Belgium in Turin. This match might be quite difficult for each side but I see Belgium as one step ahead. Belgium played really great against France in the first half but were shocked by France's marvelous comeback. I don't expect them to do the same mistake against Italy. Italy were bad against Spain and they could struggle in this match also. I think Belgium will win.

And in the final match, France and Spain are both incredible teams. But France have a more exciting game as they are playing faster than Spain. However, playing fast isn't guaranteeing that the fast team will win. I expect a very competitive match and I believe in France to win the match.

Unfortunately, the game for third place is not a big event. So the players have recently lost the important games and now it's about a place 3 which is unfortunately not appreciated by many. Only the winner counts, or does anyone else ask who is third place in the European Championship 2021? The final will be many more people go the players also with their personal attitude in the game.

[CryptocurencyKing]

It has been confirmed that Adrien Rabiot has tested positive for Covid-19 which means that he will not be able to play in Nations League final on tomorrow against Spain. It it very sad for Didier Deschamps has Adrien Rabiot cannot be replaced for regulatory reasons. As N'golo Kante wasn’t around, he was the only experienced CDM available to pair with Pogba. It will be a very difficult one for him to make a midfield selection against Spain tomorrow. The only proper option available is the Monaco A. Tchouameni. And I think I will function well with Paul Pogba regarding the fact that he is a Defensive midfield and can sit while Pogba advances and moves ahead. Deschamps needs to address this midfield because Spain that was gave them the advantage to win Italy.

Even the final match is not that important compared to other big tournaments. Belgium goalkeeper Courtois said that even he didn't know why they were playing in this tournament. But still, I'm going to watch the final match. I expect it to be exciting as it is a final match. But maybe, the teams may not play with a high pace considering their next matches which are in the World Cup Qualification. My favourite here is France.

It was a really great semifinal between Belgium and France. I was certain that I've lost my bet after the 1st period, I never epected France would score 3 goals and turn it around.

I expected the win France was a better team than Belgium although Belgium gave in their very best. I was thinking France would bounce back even more earlier than the did but their total performance was good enough.

That's 2/2 for me so far, I had a big bet on Spain and a medium one on France. I'm going to end with all-in on France, at this point in time I think they are far superior in all parts of the pitch.

Since Spain is taking up france and Italy will play against Belgium for Spain vs France I will predict 1:2 victory and Italy against Belgium for now I'm indecisive but I'm sure of a gg with over 1.5
