⚽UEFA Nations League 2024/2025⚽

[CLS63]

As UEFA Nations League results will also affect country coefficients, most countries had better take this tournament seriously. Because they can use it for their advantage to get ahead of others. It is very important for having more quota for their clubs in tournaments such as the Champions League and more as well. That is why I really want my country Turkey to be successful. For now it looks like we have a good chance to finish our group as leader by winning the rest of the matches.

Harry Kane played very well this time. And this is also an achievement and a gift for him. Yes, he celebrated his 100th cap with England with 2 goals scored as the winning goal against Finland. Cool, this time he must be very satisfied with his performance

I was fully intrigued by Kane's consistency towards scoring the first goal, the defender and goal keeper of Finland intercepted his targeted shots multiple times. At the look of it, the minute everyone concluded Kane wouldn't score again in the game, he surprised us all with the first and second goal. He's truly a well-made England striker.

Exactly, he surprised anyone, with his 2 goals, made England victory.
And we'll see in the next match whether Harry Kane can be in the top 3 top scorers of the UEFA Nations League. Because for now, with 2 goals, there are still many competitors. This is just the beginning and there are still many challenges there for Harry Kane and the national team.

Belgium's performance against Israel was good. We saw the dominance of Belgium against Israel. However, Belgium won the match due to De Bruyne's excellent performance. De Bruyne scored two goals in this match.

Well, but when they played against France, they couldn't be that optimal. So Belgium lost to France, without even scoring a single goal. De Bruyne looked frustrated at that time.

And the next match, next month, Belgium will face the first-ranked national team in the group, Italy. Honestly, I'm more sure that Italy will win, Italy's strength is quite even, especially their defense.

Well, we can see this data next:

I cannot believe that Kane is still this good, I expected much worse from him and he is doing quite well, it is a good thing for him because nobody expected him to be this good this much, it's a good thing that he ended up with a bad result and we shouldn't really be worried about him for a while longer. He is old and I expected him to get worse but he looks like he has at least a few more seasons in him to be this good, maybe more we do not know but at least few more seasons unless he gets a big injury of course.

The thing is that England is playing a good style of football now, something they should have played long time ago, and I think they will definitely end up with a better result next time they have a real cup. World cup is next, I think if they keep this up at nations league and keep learning to play like this then we could actually see them be great at world cup and have a chance to win it. Obviously it is going to be very hard, but they have a bigger chance than last time if they keep playing like this.

They proved on the field that England were favorites against Finland, but Harry Kane's performance for England was simply outstanding. At this age, I would not have understood such a great performance if I had not seen Harry Kane. There were only two goals in the entire match, why did they lose those two goals, but the bigger issue is that the Harry Kane' rating in this match was 4.4. The way England organized their team against Finland must be admired. England has been completely successful playing in 4-2-3-1 format. By arranging the team in this way, the defense of any team is much stronger as well as the attacking line-up is also much stronger. Small teams can do well with big teams by organizing teams in this way.
