⚽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.

Netherlands vs Germany is going to be an exciting match between these two teams today. However, Germany are currently strong favorites in this match and most punters will be betting on them.
Moreover, in the previous match between Germany and the Netherlands, both teams performed well and there was a strong attack between the two teams. However, these two teams will meet today in the UEFA Nations League, and the betting odds for today's match suggest a win for the Netherlands. I think today's match is not possible to be a draw between the two teams.
Match 1x2
Nederland @2.68 Draw @3.60 Germany @2.80

We saw interesting match against Germany football team and  Netherland Football team. Both teams prepared well for this match and they used their all weapons to win this match . Netherland team draw that match and they were happy to draw that match  because everyone was in the side of Germany team. Reijnders did first goal of the match at the 2 minutes after starting the match and after that  Undav did second goal of the match and at that time, the score of both teams was equal but we saw one more change in this match when Kimmich did 3rd goal of the match . At that time, Germany was  close to win  but Germany could not defend in last goal and Dumfries did last goal of match and match decision was draw.

Sorry, what? When did they start using the standings as a coefficient in the Club coefficient?
Isn't it still based on points per clubs?

If they did change that, as I have no idea about it would be pretty stupid, I know it was a long time ago but I can still remember Inter playing with no Italian in the line-up against Ac Milan, what would that have to do with how the national team perform?

No, nothing has changed. There is no relation between national teams and club competition. Such thing just wouldn't make sense at all. Nations League remains to be tournament with little importance. I'm not against when club football get interrupted for qualifiers, but don't like at all when it get stopped because of Nations League. It's good that we're back to club football this weekend.

Türkiye will play against Montenegro at home. On paper, the match seems very easy and I think Türkiye will win easily, but in football you never know.
Montella can field players in the first 11 that he has not given many chances before. If there is a harmony problem between the players, the match may be difficult.

I think it will be an easy match for Türkiye, the weakest team in the group is Montenegro.

I think Montella can give a chance to new players in this match, and he should.
Let's see what kind of match we will watch on Friday.

After watching our performance against Iceland, it looks like something has started to change in a positive direction.    This encourages me also to believe we will get a decent result.

Montenegro have started the group really badly and they have 0 points after 2 matches. They are underperforming way more than I expected. Montella finally preferred the right formation and strategies in that Iceland match. If he doesn't change it to a defensive one again, we should be comfortably winning this one.

We are currently leading our group as well. With the current performance, we should be able to win the rest of the matches.

Israel - France

It's strange that the bookmakers are giving very low odds in favor of France. I know that Israel is not doing well. In 2 games they only scored 2 goals and were unable to win. They come into this game with 2 consecutive defeats, but France, despite having won in the last game, are unstable and in this game they will have some good players who will not play. Therefore, I see this odd of @1.23 in favor of France as being very low odds. Mbappe will not play. I know that he has not scored many goals for the national team lately, but he is a player who can motivate other players. In any case, I will not bet on this game.

Montenegro is the worst national team in that group, but it cannot be underestimated too much.

Turkey are far from being the best team in Europe but they still have some players ar big clubs who have experience playing big games.

I would expect Turkey to win comfortably but as you say, in football you never know.

The Belgian side are still a super power when it comes to European football as far as the FIFA ranking is concerned and this was what played out between the Israel and Belgium match during the last FIFA international break. But in this upcoming tie against Italy I believe Belgium can either get a win or a draw because Belgium has a young team that are very resilient with a blend of veteran players like Kevin de Bruyne, Tielemans, Lukaku who can fortify the midfield and the attack and make it difficult for the Italians to dominate them, so it's going to be an open game because the Italian side are not that star studded team that can totally overwhelmed the Belgians considering how they struggled during the European cup, so I don't think the Italians would be much of a threat to Belgium when they clash.

One-sided is the description for the match between Turkey and Montenegro because Montenegro has not got a point in the two group matches. On the one hand, I don't want to assume that Turkey will get an easy win against Montenegro because h2h Turkey vs Montenegro, Turkey always gets a difficult situation. In their four meetings, Turkey won 2 x and the victory that Turkey got was not with a big score, but a narrow score.
It could be that in the third group match, the result will be a draw or if they win it will not be with a big score.

Israel lost to both Italy and Belgium, and France only lost to Italy and beat Belgium, Israel was never a top team, remember they got trashed 4-1 by Iceland, common, Iceland! Besides the odds are nearly the same as they were for Belgium playing with them and so you would assume the team that beat the team which had 1.23 odds would have even lower ones! But I do wonder why we don't have odds for the next match Israel vs Italy while we already have for France - Belgium, weird!

Türkiye will play against Montenegro at home.

Another magnificent game, but no thanks I'm going to stick with Moldova vs Andorra and Gibraltar vs San Marino, at least I know from the strat to not have expectations of anything!

Such games is reason why I love Nations league . San Marino got their first ever win in official game after beating Liechtenstein, maybe they can do it against Gibraltar. And then they would have great chance to get promoted to league C.
Offcourse, Italy - Belgium sounds more interesting, but I'm not very excited about it because big teams often don't look very serious at Nations league.

Yeah same feelings. UEFA Nations League games are less interesting for big nations comparing to the others who try to compete them or even for small nations which try to achieve something in their history
In tomorrow's games, I find Italy > Belgium the most interesting followed by Norway > Slovenia. Otherwise the other matches have a clear favourite except for those you cited above

An interesting choice but I respect that.    I must also admit that I sometimes get curious about the matches between such powerless teams. But I never had the opportunity to watch them because of having a much more attracting match on the same day. Just as the England - Greece match on that day for example.

When it comes to the Türkiye - Montenegro match, I think Türkiye are already the much stronger side. While the manager is also doing a good job I don't think they will lose points.

[bering]

Tomorrow there will be a match between Moldova vs Andorra and i have seen both teams plenty to met at Nation League or Euro Cup qualification matches and home team Moldova can able to beat Andorra several times and if we see from the recent performance too Moldova is much better than Andorra because during 2024 Moldova can able to win several times from San Marino, Malta and Cyprus even for Euro qualification stages Moldova can able to playing draw from Poland and Albania so considering their status as weak team in Europa i think the performance of Moldova is quite impressive and for the match against Andorra they have good advantages because this is home match for them so i think Moldova can win from Andorra without any problem and for the scores probably 1-0 or 2-0 for Moldova

[Stepstowealth]

Turkiye still do not need to underestimate Montenegro, they need to approach the game with the same seriousness as they would when playing a stronger team. Spain on their own side may not be at their best against Denmark because Nico Williams who plays the opposite wing as Lamal has been ruled out because of injury. Another player will take his place and provide something different not the same same Nico Williams.

Actually, I was sarcastic about that! All three games are just useless stuff, the outcome of D  groups will always be the same, the team that goes to C will get their asses kicked next league and then go back to D while the next one gets slaughtered! And could someone explain why we need two D groups (and no boobs joke!) when they could have just made one with 6 teams, they could easily play more matches as they don't have players in the top leagues anyhow!

The League could have been way simpler by putting them in just two groups with the top 16 teams and the bottom 16, with 6 or 8 teams moving between because that's the maximum of teams that would really matter in this, imagine the death match between Estonia and Kazakhstan to Latvia and Feroe actually counting for something, lol! In my opinion, these are just useless games, the only obvious thing is the cash grab for more TV rights and publicity!
