The UEFA Nations League 2020/2021 Discussion Thread

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.

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 would have doubts when I looked at the game against Italy yesterday.
especially in the second half I think they are very poor at the moment in terms of creativity especially their front line.
indeed it would be a little less good to compare the current spanish team with the spanish team a few years ago when they were still victorious, but this is history and will still be compared with its performance at that time.
and now spain may be better than 2/3 years ago, but their opponents are now france which incidentally now like all great players gathered there, not only from the front line, the midfield and the back are also filled with talented players.
It will be very difficult for Spain especially now that some of their players are doubtful against France in this match

When it comes to the final game in the tournament, I think that France are going to be playing a little better than Spain after seeing their huge effort in the Belgium game in the semi final. It was a big comeback from France and that should be very motivating for them in this game. Spain also performed great against Italy and got a totally deserved win. Maybe this tournament is not being followed by incredible amount of people like the other tournaments, but I'm still curious about the result of this game. I'll be favoring France here.

Spain vs France will be a banger of a match. It will be a test of Spain's midfield vs France's attack. Spain has the best play makers in options and their squad is very well rounded with young and experienced players but France's attack is totally lethal. Benzema has been the best player of the season so far and we all know what Mbappe is capable of. Add Pogba to that and France is lethal. Also Feran Torres has been playing very good for Spain and Gavi impressed me on his debut. Hoping for a great match.

Only a few more days the final between spain and francis will start, and the final match will be played at the Giuseppe Meazza stadium - San Siro, Milan Italy, I think the match will be very exciting considering both teams are big teams and have a fairly balanced squad, I personally will bet on Spain victory in the final later, because in my opinion, the quality of the Spain team which is dominated by young players at this time is really quite balanced on every line and of course their confidence will increase greatly after they managed to stop Italy unbeaten record of 37 matches in semifinals.

Kazakhstan vs Bosnia Herzegovina match just ended, and as expected Bosnia won by two goals to nil . The Kazakhstan team stood no chance against a team that is vying for a world cup promotion slot but it's not over yet as their promotion will depend on what result will come from Finland vs Ukraine and am afraid the Ukrainians are the likely team to go through to the next phase but let's wait and see how their game will unfold. Wouldn't want to write any team just yet.

Right, second place can still belong to any team in this group and that's still uncertain, considering they still have enough games left to beat each other. Besides that, even though Ukraine may be the favourite, but I think their chances are still the same because their points score doesn't look good either and therefore, second place in this group is very open to any team.

I'm guessing that this match will be really close one. If Sapin can hold onto Benzema and Mbappe and mark them good enough, they will have a winning chance. Spain feels very fluid on the ball to me and Luis Enrique has changed how Spain plays football and I just love the new Spain playstyle. So far Ferran has been very good with the ball and Benzema is also in his peak form. I'm very excited for a match to be remembered for years.

The final game between Spain and France is going to be played tomorrow night. This game is in Giuseppe Meazza by the way and it is a neutral place as a result. France showed a great performance against Belgium in the second half and won superbly by 3-2. After seeing this high effort, I think that France can do very great against Spain. On the other hand, Spain managed to beat Italy by 2-1. And they literally owned the game and deserved the win. This game will be really tough for each team but I think that France are the closer side to a victory.

Before the final there is an Italy vs Belgium match to fight for the 3rd place but I want Italy to win in this match, and however it will be mental again for Donnarumma who continues to be mocked in every match in his country, he must stay focused on the future and don't listen other babble.

In this final match, of course, it will be very thrilling and my preference is that France did dominate for their victory with many great players, but that's not why concentration is more focused on maintaining stability in every line.
If in the second line of attack he has a great striker.

I think I will support France in this one but there is no denying that this Spain team is the best one since they won the World Cup. This Spain team has the energy of the youth and the experience of the senior players. But if we consider the current form of the players, Benzema and Pogba have to be there. Benzema has been phenomenal this season. He has scored 9 and assisted 7 in his 8 matches in La Liga. So Benzema and Mbappe duo is very lethal upfront for France.

The final will be played on October 11 at 01:45 Indonesian time. Of course it made me have to stay up all night just to watch the game. I hope Spain can beat France in this match even though the France vs Belgium comeback feels really good. I like both countries of course, but I have to choose one of these two countries to win the title and I think that is Spain.

Mbappe and Benzeman have guided France to the final vs Spain and it is clear that Spain should be wary of these two strikers. Mbappe was outstanding against Belgium and he will have to get a tight guard from the Spanish defenders in this match. But before that, let's look forward to tomorrow's third-place match between Italy vs Belgium.

At least you can sleep early before the match starts, usually I do that if I can't stay up all night.
But until now I still haven't decided which bet, but my feeling is that France will win.
But we can see for the results tomorrow.

Now that will be the mainstay of France with 2 sharp strikers Mbappe and Benzema are key players where they have to be closely guarded by Spanish players, but I'm sure the French midfield has Pogba as a ball supplier going forward.

[ingiltere]

Today Spain is favorite, I don't know why bookmakers see France as favorite and give lower odds to them but I'll take it, better odds for my bet. I guess until the match time we will see decreasing odds for Spain if majority think like that. Spain showed how good they are last match, they beat Euro winner Italy and got revenge from Euro's. France did a great comeback in Belgium game but it was luck mixed with Belgium mistakes so don't expect something like that in Spain game. We will watch a great match besides who will win, you better enjoy every part of it. It's the first final for both teams in Nations League.

After watching both semi-finals now I am feeling Spain is much better in quality, and they are able to beat France because in last few years they are doing very good job and have very good young and experienced players those are real quality. Even France is also not bad at all specially after beating Belgium after going down from 0 - 2 to 3 -2 it's amazing result for any team against a team like Belgium.

In third position match Italy is favorite and most chances they are going to have their spot Belgium is down in confidence after having defeat like this but still this could be tough match for both teams.

Spain played well in the previous match. They are good teams, but their players are young. There is a lack of experience among the players. The coach Mourinho is experienced, so he is able to perform well with this team. In my opinion, France is a favorite today. As a team maybe they are not stable yet. But there is no shortage of experienced players in their team. They have a lot of good players. They have great players like Mbappe, Grizmann, Benzema and Pogo. I want to place my bet on France.

According to the stat I saw on the site I do check scores, 26% go for Spain, 32% go for draw while 42% go for France to win. You have good points which I do not want to repeat, most people prediction is that France will win, I too will go for France. But Spain can surprise and match which is a game that the prediction can be wrong, especially this type of match because Spain also have good players which are working tirelessly not to lose but to win the UEFA Nations League. Today is the final, the match will be enjoyable, I do not go for this type of bet, but I predict France to win but yet Spain will be my favourite.

I agree that France profited from Belgium's mistakes to win but overall France is better, more consistent than Spain and has a better players. Deschamps is under pressure to deliver a win with his team for France after being eliminated in EURO and the struggle they are facing in qualifications.. A defeat in this final game of Nations League, although it isn't an important one comparing to EURO, could mean the end of his career especially if Spain will humiliate them.

France and Spain both are the deserving teams when it comes to the final round. Spain controlled their match against Italy and won. France turned the game around insanely against Belgium and won by 3-2. I expect a controlled game from both of these teams here. I'm favoring France in this one but it will be a close match I think even if one side manages to win in 90 minutes.

I agree that France profited from Belgium's mistakes to win but overall France is better, more consistent than Spain and has a better players.

France is a team of experienced players and they already won the World Cup 2018. Spain is a team of young players like Pedri, Gavi, Olmo and they just start to grow up and compete for titles.

It is impressive that Spain with those young players can play too good in two tournaments recently: Euro 2020 and Olympic Tokyo. Now they will play the UEFA Nations League final match. If they win it, their young players will have a good experience because it is never easy to play in any final match. It's too much pressure especially for young players.

Deschamps is under pressure to deliver a win with his team for France after being eliminated in EURO and the struggle they are facing in qualifications.. A defeat in this final game of Nations League, although it isn't an important one comparing to EURO, could mean the end of his career especially if Spain will humiliate them.

The title in this league will be a relief for Deschamps and France after the terrible result in Euro 2020. They were too arrogant in that tournament and were beaten by Switzerland. If they can win this final and take it to reunite the team, they will be a strong team in World Cup 2022.

In the Italy - Belgium match, I bet on the victory of the European champions. The Belgians played a good first half in the match against France, but in the second they were completely smashed. This can be bad for their morale and confidence. There is no need to convince anyone about the strength of the Italians team. Their additional advantage is that the final phase of the tournament is played in Italy.
