⚽UEFA Nations League 2024/2025⚽

[$crypto$]

Lee Carsley, the interim manager, had a really poor day. I didn't even like that 4-2-1-3 formation. Besides why would you prefer Bellingham as the main striker while you have options like Solanke and Watkins?

Better Southgate than Carsley he put Bellingham as a striker and Foden is this following in the footsteps of formations like they play in clubs? Whereas Watkins and Solanke are pure strikers.

And this is what Nations League matches are like - sometimes games don't try as hard as club competitions - because the international break is just boring and even if we bet it will make us emotional.

There are some good matches today. For example, Hungary vs Netherlands looks like it will be a good match or Bosnia and Herzegovina vs Germany. But I will watch the Turkiye - Montenegro match. Turkiye have 4 points in the group, Montenegro have no points. Turkiye are the leader in the group, Montenegro are last. On paper everything is in favor of Turkiye. But I think Montenegro are not an easy opponent. Prosineçki had worked in Turkiye before. And he left good impressions. I will bet on both teams to score in this match. Because Turkiye have some problems in defense. If Montenegro score one goal, everything will be easy for my bet.

Hungary is not so good in performance compared to the Netherlands which is a very strong team, they are at different Levels in my opinion, this match should be quite easy for the Netherlands to beat Hungary to get 3 extra points.
League A group three will be dominated by 2 teams Germany and Netherlands, those are the teams that will qualify for the next round easily because Hungary and Bosnia & Herzegovina are not worthy opponents for them.

The game is just different the way you thought it will be because the game is very interesting,  in the first half Hungary gave Netherlands a tough game and they were able to score one game. I think the performance of Hungary is not bad like the way you thought it will be, though Netherlands are playing quite fine but from the performance of Hungary right from the beginning of the game, they also have chances of winning the game and they are already leading the game.

Hungary defensive game is really giving Netherlands a tough game . Netherlands is a very good team and I never thought this game will be so tough for then, since their is still time in the game they may have luck to score a goal.

You know in national matches, the coaches just tries to reshuffle players in different positions as against how they position in league games but players also needs to adapt since sometimes it's really difficult for a coach to identify a particular position that will fit in so well for them individually.

And this is what Nations League matches are like - sometimes games don't try as hard as club competitions - because the international break is just boring and even if we bet it will make us emotional.

You are right actually about players not bringing forth that much energy in country games as they do in their league games but that doesn't mean they don't give their best to see their country having a good result at the end of the day. Yes Nations league games are very complex to predict but i prefer making single bets or not many accumulations that's the only way to get some wins but if you make much accumulations it may not really work according to your predictions

Are you still watching this match? now Netherlands is behind one goal and the match has been running 80 minutes, although Netherlands dominated the match up to 80 %, they seemed to have difficulty to equalize the score of course we don't think Netherlands  were defeated today but this is the fact, the situation is worse when the second yellow card for Van Dijk This means that Netherlands's chances are lower to score goals.

Wow Netherlands managed to equalize the score in the 83 minute, honestly this is beyond my expectations when they play with 10 players although since the first half they played with the main squad but did not score goal. I don't know whether this is just luck or because of their efforts to attack continuously, that's a great result of Netherlands.

There were good matches in the Nations League today. I also gave priority to the Turkey and Montenegro match and I am following the match. The first half ended in a goalless draw. Turkey made many attempts, accurate shots, effective attacks ended in goalless matches. Montenegro closed down more and tried to defend.

In the second half, Irfan Can Kahveci entered the game and scored the first goal of the Turkish national team 5-6 minutes after entering the game, the match is still ongoing, minute 90, I hope we do not make a mistake and finish the match like this.

The first half was really not good at all. We tried but failed to score every time. Montenegro were pretty good with defending. In the second half this was seen again for a long time as well. But finally İrfan scored the winner. I think replacing Kerem with Kenan was a good choice. Because Kerem wasn't good enough. We should have started with Bertuğ instead of Barış Alper too. At the end we won by 1-0. But I didn't like the general effort very much considering the number of goal chances we wasted.

Hungary had a problem with their attacking lines because from 2 latest matches in Nation League Hungary was unable to scores and their last match against Bosnia and Herzegovina is not too satisfied because they only playing draw with scores 0-0 and for their opponent Netherlands has same points with Germany because they can collect 4 points from 2 matches and the latest is Netherlands can able to gets draw result from strong team Germany and i am sure this result is boosted their motivation to collect 3 points from this match

The odds for Netherlands is @1.69 and actually this is good odds considering Netherlands status as the favourite but i just thinking other option for this match just like over 2.5 goals and this option has better odds compared to Netherlands win and why i was thinking to pick over 2.5 goals is because Hungary defensive lines is weak they even in the first match lost with final scores 5-0 from Germany so i think Netherlands can win too with at least 2 goals margin or more

I had similar thoughts to yours about the match but the result was not what I expected. Netherlands got 1 point with Dumfreis' goal in the 83rd minute. I didn't think that Hungary would get points from this match because I thought that the Netherlands would win easily. Today Hungary proved many people's predictions wrong and got 1 point.

It is very normal for national teams to lose points when there is no team cohesion, even if there are star players in the squad. Sometimes it takes football luck to get the ball into the goal.

Türkiye won tonight but I think it was difficult. I expected Türkiye to win more easily.
We are currently leading the group and I think we will finish the group as leaders.

Iceland - Wales ended in a 2-2 draw, Iceland was losing 2-0 but made the match 2-2 and got 1 point.

[baeva]

For me today and easy pick is Spain to win against Serbia. Im from Serbia but our team dosent have at least 5 start players in our first team. Plus we arent playing good at all so i think Spain will probobly destroy us. The entire attack of Serbia isnt playing Mitrovic,Vlahovic,Jovic,Kostic,Milinkovic-Savic… so this should be an easy win for Spain with a huge odd of 1.55 currently.

Yeah, not even taking into account the fact that Serbia will be without 5 players, the Spaniards look very good as it is, they have a very good form and squad to win, I think even a draw is unlikely. Although they did draw last month. Let's see how they play tomorrow against Denmark, I think it's obvious, but if something goes wrong and Denmark can win or snatch a draw

Lee Carsley, the interim manager, had a really poor day. I didn't even like that 4-2-1-3 formation. Besides why would you prefer Bellingham as the main striker while you have options like Solanke and Watkins?

The results of Lee Carsley's first two games as the coach of the Three Lions was impressive but I think his tactical approach in the game against Greece yesterday was poor. He made some bad decisions which I think was the reason England lost at Wembley against a Greece side that's never beaten them ever in history of football before yesterday's game. But as an inexperienced manager who probably wanted to experiment his new ideas, I think it's understandable as to why he decided to make a surprise team selection in that game. Now that he's seen it didn't work, I'm sure he'll not want to repeat same style again.

What a match, the Ukraine match against Georgia was a very interesting match to watch. This was a match full of end to end attack, proper defense, bodies on the line and goalkeppers save. Ukraine started well and they got credit for it with Mykhailo Mudryk scoring a superb goal. The Chelsea man haven't scored  yet since the beginning of season, he played well and I will say he deserves the goal. Mudryk have been playing well lately even tho he is struggling for playing time under meresca but he has improved alot and he showed it tonight. Overall Ukraine had to defend well to keep the 1-0 lead intact, Georgia are a very good side too and they've proved that in the Euros and they are also proving it again. They are still top of the table tieing up with Czech Republic with 6 point and Ukraine tieing up with Albania with 3points

It a very competitive group and how i will Like to see how this one ends. They are all a good side that play a good style of football.

We should have beaten Montenegro comfortably with a different score, but we were able to win with only a single goal. İrfan Can Kahveci's goal was enough to get 3 points. If Montenegro had scored a goal in the last minutes, we would have lost 2 points. In order to rule out such possibilities, it's necessary to get 2 different scores against such weak opponents. I didn't like the game in general, this team needs to be more productive in offense. There are problems in finishing. The players who wasted the goal positions generously got away with it today, if the score was 1-1, those wasted positions would have been talked about a lot. You don't have a chance to play like this against better opponents.
Türkiye will lead this group as they should. It's important to make it to League A. That's where we have to play every time.

Türkiye won tonight but I think it was difficult. I expected Türkiye to win more easily.
We are currently leading the group and I think we will finish the group as leaders.

Iceland - Wales ended in a 2-2 draw, Iceland was losing 2-0 but made the match 2-2 and got 1 point.

Turkiye continue to do good and they are leading their group especially after the draw between Wales and Iceland. Wales couldn't resist in the second half and this team is dropping in performance over the years in my opinion.
Same goes for England, they lost their match in front of Greece and that late goal didn't allow them to stay in front. Now they are second behind of Greece.

It wasn't that exciting with only 6 shots on target from both teams combined. I thought that Georgia would have a chance as they take the Nations League quite seriously for good reasons of course and they have impressed me in a couple of games at the EURO 2024. But Nations League is so different that I never know what conclusions to draw from that competition. Netherlands can't beat Hungary, Germany only beats Bosnia 2-1, England loses against Greece, the list is long if you take games from the past into account.

It was quite disappointing to see Wales throwing away their 2 goals lead over Iceland today. Despite being a small nation with a population of just over 380,000 people, the national football team of Iceland are quite amazing with the results they produced on the field. They always seems to have no fear playing against powerful national teams and I think the players of Turkey will have to work hard in their next upcoming match against Iceland if they wish to gain all 3 points to further solidify their 1st spot in the group.

And this is what Nations League matches are like - sometimes games don't try as hard as club competitions - because the international break is just boring and even if we bet it will make us emotional.

The reason why I don't like the Nations league is because of the very little incentives to do well. I mean, we have France omitting players like Mbappe. We know that for more competitive games (World cup, euros, etc), they would definitely call in their best players but it's not the caee here.

For  Bellingham, he has been playing as a false 9 for a number pf times at Madrid. That role only got diminished because they have Mbappe and Endrick to fill those positions. So it's not the first time but I don't see why it should be the case because Bellingham is better off as an attacking midfielder providing his services to a classic 9 like Watkins that can score goals

At the end of the round, despite a few weird results seems that looking over the statistics and the SP bets, only one underdog managed to score a surprise, and that's Greece, no other favorite lost a match, at maximum a draw, quite interesting stuff and I saw this in the last round too, for most of the time the Nations League it's quite predictable. I wonder why this is happening, either the bookies have a better algorithm or because the matches don't matter that match nobody is putting extra effort into the game and they just play for the sake of playing and be done with it.

And here is the result of an early rainy boring Saturday:

[Out of mind]

I was surprised by England's performance, they lost against their opponents Greece. England's performance in the game was not good, so the team lost the match, only Jude Bellingham managed to score a goal.  Although this was England's first defeat against Greece, England will probably try to improve their game in the future.
Belgium and Italy drew the match 2-2, although Italy had the better of the game from the start and scored in both first halves. But after the red card of the Italian player left the field, Belgium made a strong attack which resulted in a draw in the match.

England's performance in the game was not good, so the team lost the match, only Jude Bellingham managed to score a goal.  Although this was England's first defeat against Greece, England will probably try to improve their game in the future.

Greece are competing as one of the best teams in UEFA Nations League Group Two and they have already played three matches where they have won three matches. The last time they managed to win yesterday's match was 2-1 against mighty England. However, in this match, Greece took the lead in the 49th minute through the goal of their player E.Pavlidis. Jude Bellingham then equalized with a goal for England but it did not last long as Pavlidis scored another goal for Greece in extra time to put his side on the verge of victory. England won the first two matches but suffered their first defeat against Greece in the third match.

[Amphenomenon]

The Nations League continually reminds me of why I don't make any bet on this competition anymore.    We see surprising results quite often.

Generally we see it from the most favoured nations. For example England... What was that loss for real? You shouldn't lose to Greece at least while the game is at Wembley.

Greece where able to capitalise on almost every errors made by the England players, Pickford and the defense did poorly in this game, another game to show how poorly England's defense and goalie can be, they where lucky not to concede more in regarding how bad the defense did performed, I think they lack connection in the defense, also there were less attacking threats from England team.

Lee Carsley, the interim manager, had a really poor day. I didn't even like that 4-2-1-3 formation. Besides why would you prefer Bellingham as the main striker while you have options like Solanke and Watkins?

Jude Bellingham is an excellent player and he scored really lots of goals last season might just be the reason Lee Carsley  to try him as a false 9, though this shouldn't be done here since there're other available 9 outside Kane doing pretty well in their various clubs. He was limiting the team performance with his strategy and performance.

I don't often know if when coach becomes the England senior team coach their of thinking becomes weird, because even if he did use Jude Bellingham as a false 9, this should have been only for the first half since it was obvious Jude didn't do well in that position and often times he is outside the box, causing threats, with his shots to the goal. This was obvious reason to make some substitution and bring a proper 9 but he had to stay with something obviously not working, underestimating the current Greece performance, he deserves what he got.
