⚽UEFA Nations League 2024/2025⚽

[KTChampions]

Poland squad looks good on paper, but in recent few years they're looking so disappointing and changing managers doesn't helps much. Even playing at home they don't have much what to offer against Portugal. While Ronaldo continue to score.
Surprised that Spain - Denmark game ended with just 1 goal, despite such big Spain dominance. And Croatia win against Scotland was really dramatic with Scotland goal getting cancelled after VAR review on 95th minute.

I am already mostly skeptical about Ronaldo's performances at the top level, but he continues to surprise. Always maximum motivation, always works at 100%. Today, in addition to the goal, he made an assist. Poland is really performing worse than it should, and after today's defeat, only Croatia can try to challenge Portugal for first place.

Croatia win against Scotland and that of Spain win against Denmark are games I didn't see honestly, although I had a picture of how the game was going to end in favor of Spain in my head. I love how they play and one thing with is that they play same way down to their junior squad. Poland against Portugal was the highlights of the day. Portugal pushed them polish players to the half line and controlled everything in their own half. It was also great to see Bruno Fernandez thriving tonight and got me thinking if he's got some issues with the manager. Ronaldo scoring at to them all, I'm sure he'll score 1000 goals before retirement.

Yeah this is not too difficult to predict, I bet on Croatia in the second half when checking the match statistics I saw Croatia dominating the match so there was a chance to score in the second half that's why I have a bet on them, not bad with Odds 1.71 . For Spain I don't know how to say it because their game is beyond my expectations, Spain scored one goal in the 79th minute based on statistics they should be able to score 23 goals with 25 shots and 6 of them on target.

I was a little surprised by the match between Poland vs Portugal, I mean I don't think Poland lost with a score of 1-3 because in my opinion both teams are at the same level but unfortunately Poland can't do much and this is the second defeat for Poland.

Poland looked like catching up for a while, but Portugal managed to win in the end. After Ronaldo and Leao came off, Poland stepped up the pressure. They scored through Zielinski but couldn't score the second goal. If the score had been 2-2, Roberto Martinez would have had a big reaction. The substitutions he did were wrong. Bednarek scored an own goal to end Poland's hopes of a draw. Looking at the score, one might think it was an easy game for Portugal, but the game was in the balance most of the time.
Portugal showed that they are ambitious for the semi final by making 3 out of 3 in this group. Croatia, who beat Scotland, still has a chance. Scotland will most probably be relegated to League B.

I'm not a fan of the Nations League at all. It's not interesting at all and I think the players think so too, which is why many of them don't try very hard. You can see that with Spain v Denmark, before I bet on the NL games, I'd rather wait for the national leagues or bet on tennis games.

I don't think all players share this point of view, for example Croatia showed a very good game and Portugal is also playing at full strength and clearly wants to win. I do not argue, there are players and maybe even whole teams who are against this tournament, and maybe in this case there are doubts about its expediency, but this should be decided by the federation and not by individual players.

Not all, but most players and teams are already sufficiently busy with international and national matches and the introduction of the Nations League has made the situation much worse. Footballers are only human and nowadays they have to play almost all year round and only have a short break of a few weeks in the summer, even if they earn a lot of money, it's excessive in my opinion.

I know that during the international break, managers of the national teams do try their best to make substitutions in other not to overuse some players but I think Roberto Martinez's decision sub off Cristiano Ronaldo and Rafael Leao tonight almost cost him the three points. It was afternoon that substitution that Poland began to press Portugal for an equalizer and if not for Bednarek own goal that helped Portugal put the game to bed, maybe it would've ended with a different result. It was a very good performance from Portugal especially in the first half of the game that they dominated so well and I think they're a strong contender to win the UEFA Nations League trophy this season

I have watched this Poland team severally even during Euros, like the way they play they will hardly win matches. Just like you said they have alot of big players that are very good individually but playing together as a team is a problem for them, maybe it because they have changed coaches within this short period of time. Today I was expecting Portugal to beat Poland and that is exactly what happened, from the very first minute Portugal took control and shows that they are the big side, they lose less ball, play confidently and score with ease too.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored again and continue to his fine form. He is currently doing well for both country and club and it seems he doesn't want to get old at all, it a good game for Portugal and all the credit goes to the coach for being able to manage this number of good players.

Scotland having to score first seems to have been the mistake in this game. It provoked an unmatched play from Croatia as they played a more dominant football to have come from behind and take the lead. L. Modric wasn’t shy from taking long range shots at goal and they found the net twice to put them ahead of Scotland which was playing or more defensive football through the whole second half.

For Bulgaria and Luxembourg, I think book markers took a huge gamble in this game. Giving Bulgaria an odd that didn’t reflect in their play while, Luxembourg had more odds but, they easily played much better football than Bulgaria. Too bad they had to settle for a draw, I rooted for them to win.

Yes, like it or not, Ronaldo's contribution to the national team is still very good. and he has scored 3 goals so far in this Nations League. and is included in the top scorers in the 2024 UEFA Nations League. And when he plays against Croatia, he will reunite with Modric, but as an opponent. This will be exciting.

His reasons to go to the Saudi Profession League are comprehensible as I assume that nobody around here would have refused a contract like he got offered...

But what I would liked more is if he decided back then to join a club like Borussia Dortmund. I remember that there was some talk about it, but of course it was no option anymore once he got this offer from the Saudis. But for his overall performance level I think it would have helped him maintain great performance levels for even longer and it would have been interesting to see what he can do with a top 10 or top 12 club against the best teams in Europe.

Now that he plays in Saudi Arabia, the only thing that keeps him in the loop for the national team is goals. I think it applies more so to him than to other younger strikers. He either scores more or less nonstop, or he would probably be out quite soon.

But so far yes, he doesn't stop scoring those goals although at times the opponents on the international level are certainly not the best.

Yeah, Ronaldo is indeed an old player but he is excluded like other old players because he still has the ability and can compete with other young players, as you said he always competes in the top scorer list in every competition.  We know he wants to give something to his country before he retires. Some of us say he will soon retire in the next 2 years and maybe he has no chance to play in other major tournaments so he must take advantage of the current opportunity. Currently Portugal is at the top of the standings with 3 wins and still has 3 matches to play and also Portugal has no competitors in the group.

Ronaldo is a player born for football. Even though he is 40 years old, he is still playing exceptionally. Ronaldo is playing an excellent game both for the national team and for the clubs. Cristiano will probably retire from football in a year or two, but it seems like he will continue to play at a high level until he does. He is a phenomenon and we are lucky to watch him live.

Hats-off for Ronaldo, 39 years, 1 assist and 1 goal. And i guess Cancelo is getting upset to him.   It's kinda weird many people call him an already washed-up player. And if he was being selfish, I thought he could score 2 instead of 1. It's saddening to me he passed the ball to the bruno.

By the way, a major call to the Poland's defense. They looked so poor in this game. It's unlikely they're improving with their current line-up.

Ronaldo's contribution to the national team is still great and his strong performance at this age is really impressive. Ronaldo continues to excel in the Nations League and is among the top domestic goal scorers. Yes I think these two teams of Cristiano Ronaldo and Modric are currently in a good position in the points table. Accordingly if the two teams meet then it will definitely be more exciting and this match will have two opposing legends coming together, so this match will be more interesting.

That's true, and I agree to what you just said above, because it was actually an interesting game, most especially the first half, of which despite Poland's attempt, we could see Portugal dominating the whole game, while having the most ball possession, shots on target and and good attack and defense squad, through the influence of Cristiano Ronaldo, which was present in that game.

However, when it comes to the match between Spain and Denmark, we all knew it was a sure win for Spain, and I'm happy they didn't disappointed us.

Cristiano Ronaldo is still performing quite well, even though Cristiano Ronaldo is older, he has set one record after another. The more games he plays in the current season the more records will be created, his age being the only barrier. Because even though he is older, his running speed is like that of a youngster, he can still win his team easily with enough strategy and his experience. I think we will definitely see him live in the next World Cup as he is still fit enough to play.

Cristiano Ronaldo is truly a football legend, and in his last match, he set yet another record. After Portugal's game against Poland, Ronaldo became the first player to achieve 100 victories in official matches for the national team. An incredible achievement. I believe he will continue to impress us with his performances at the next European Championship.

Many people started to think that Ronaldo career with the Portuguese national team was over, that he should no longer be called up to defend his country at international level, but he was able to overturn all of these skeptical opinions with impressive performances. He continues to be a difference maker and a leader for his teammates, always performing optimally, his sharpness in scoring goals can still be relied on, in the last three matches against Scotland, Croatia and Poland, he has always been able to score goals. Ronaldo is very motivated to appear in the upcoming world cup, he continues to work hard to maintain his performance, he really showed his class when destroying Poland.

[stompix]

Looking at the match I don't know why I bet Bulgaria could beat Luxemburg, probably because in my mind Luxemburg would not break their row of now scoring a goal and maybe, maybe Bulgaria would manage to score at least once on their home turf? At least it's way less disappointing at a loss than if I had taken a shot at the Netherlands two days ago!

Changing tactics, I'm placing this beauty, going only for 'life or death" matches /s:

It's surprising to see Ronaldo at 39 years old scoring goals. The goal he scored against Poland is making it the 3 goals he has scored this season against three countries. If you add the goals he scored for club and country this year alone, it sums up to 11 goals. That doesn't stop yet because I believe that Ronaldo is not retiring from football this season, and his scoring habit of his in most matches will still happen over and over again. However, for the record, Ronaldo appears to be the top male international scorer in history.



Croatia can only try to challenge Portugal for the first position, but they won't succeed in taking the first position from Portugal because Portugal is leading the Group 1 table with 9 points, 3 points ahead of Croatia, which has 6 points. In Portugal's previous meeting against Croatia last month, Portugal won by 2-1
