⚽UEFA Nations League 2024/2025⚽

[Cryptmuster]

Yep...I didn't expect to see such a high scoring game and especially I didn't expect to see Portugal scoring 5 goals against Poland but it seems that current team of Poland are not a really strong team like they used to be and we saw this at Euro 2024 as well. Instead , this Portugal team is getting better and better with each game passing by and we must also praise Ronaldo for scoring 2 goals and with such a player doing what he does as his age , it's really impossible for his team not improve game by game.

Portugal's victory was expected, but Poland played very well in the first half and I did not expect to see so many goals in the second half, but Poland's defense in the second half was terrible, and Portugal managed to score almost everything that flew into the goal, out of 6 shots on target they were able to score 5 goals. Ronaldo played great again, he scored two goals and made an assist, he still shows a very good game.

[As-Soon-As]

Spain have been very aggressive from the start, although they are known to be hard-working players in this match. But the Denmark team scored a goal in the last period, although the game was most likely to be agreed. But because the defenders of the Spain team are strong, the Spain team won this match, the goalkeeper of the Spain team saved a few balls enough.
 The attacking numbers of the two teams were very close throughout the match, but Spain team was able to score two goals in this match due to the more experienced players. And goal two was tough to say the least, with Denmark's defenders trying hard to turn the match in their favour.

Of course, it must be admitted that Portugal's victory was expected, because in the first half both teams attacked a lot but neither team could score. Moreover, Poland played well enough in the first half, but in the second half their game did not improve and they could not defend Portugal's strong attack. The players of Portugal played amazingly, especially Cristiano Ronaldo who is still playing great. Ronaldo's two goals and one assist were really impressive, he is still playing like a young player at the age of 39. However, this season we can hope that Portugal may be strong enough to become the champion if Ronaldo can continue his strong performance.

Portugal's victory was expected,

Currently among all the teams in the world with talented players Portugal ranks among them because even the incoming younger generations that are about to take over from the old generation still look very promising and capable to carry the Portugal name even to the finals of a World Cup. In almost every game they play, Portugal will be a favorite to win.

Ronaldo played great again, he scored two goals and made an assist, he still shows a very good game.

Ronaldo had a great game, but unfortunately due to age he is no longer able to deliver this kind of performance in every game he plays now. He is close to his target of 1000 goals, it is not impossible.

[Roseline492]

Ronaldo is simply an old wine that keeps getting better in taste as it gets older. He's not just a captain but a leader with charisma that is capable to stir up the momentum of his teammates to do better.

I didn't watch the live match but when I saw the highlights of the game replayed on Skysports I was dazzled with that amazing bicycle kick from Cr7 despite his age he still gets motivated to do the unthinkable and that's the kind of captain every national team needs to have. I almost ruled him off from participating in the 2026 world cup but right now am reconsidering my thoughts on him, because Portugal would really need his presence like never before.

Ronaldo has remained as flexible as he is before and the bicycle kick is another thing that gives beauty to his goals and with how he fling with his right foot to score the goal it will be recorded as a top goals, however like you said I was also seeing Ronaldo before the match as someone who should allowed those who has more energy to defend Portugal instead of making the number 7 position not to be too functional but as they started and watching him I realized that no Portugal players would have been better than him on the number 7, however Portugal has entered the list of the most fierce countries in football and it was a hard labour for Poland because the Portuguese was coming from every side on them and 5:1 is a good number to end the match with.

Poland team has really not been in good form lately, as it could be seen in the performance of their last 8 matches, both Euro and UEFA National where they were only able to win just 1 game, drew 2 and lost the remaining 5 games. So it's obviously predictable that they will also lose yesterday's match against Portugal, but the goal margin was what we never expected. But however, it was an interesting game base on the highlight I saw on YouTube.

However, it's 68 minutes already into the game between Azerbaijan vs Estonia, and yet none have been able to score a single goal, despite Estonia haven't got 3 yellow cards and Azerbaijan having the most ball possession. But moreover, let's see how the game ends, as it's this game is likely to end draw.

[ajanwalker]

I was calculating to increase my capital by betting live on the Fenerbahçe Zenit match. With the money I received, I was going to play the Portugal-Poland match with over 3.5 goals, but all the money went to the Fenerbahçe match.
When the first half of the Portugal match ended 0-0, I said that I would lose the bet from this match anyway. I'm looking at the summaries of the match on TV and I don't know the score. (except first half)
There was a goal, and after this goal, while I thought there was no goal, it started to rain goals. The match ended 5-1
Ronaldo scored 2 goals, one of which was a penalty.
Ronaldo will leave a record that will be difficult to break for the players who will come after him. He is 39 years old and he is still scoring in international matches.

Unfortunately, we lost vs Scotland tonight. It should have been much an easier game for us, but as usual we managed to complicate the situation by a stupid red card at the end of the 1st half.

Realistically speaking, Scotland is currently the team that proved to be a worthy opponent for Croatia and they could have won one point in the first game if they had been a little more lucky. I expected a draw at best, but I'm not surprised that Scotland won, given that Croatia is still impotent in attack because Kramaric has to play at all costs, while for me personally he is the worst striker that can be sent on the field.

The red card came as a perfect excuse why the game was lost despite a good game, as coach Dalic says. Now the question arises whether Scotland can beat Poland, who do not have too much motivation to seriously oppose them (I think they have a solid chance of winning), and how Portugal will position themselves considering that they have secured first place.

However, in the end, even the third place in the group would not be bad - especially if they already declared before the competition that the League of Nations is not too important for them and that it will be a preparation for the qualifications for the world championship.

Yeah he is a maestro when it comes to such acrobatic goals and even at this age he still has great reflex on the pitch than some young players still in their prime. Ronaldo's ambition to get to a 1000 career goals is what motivated him to always give his best on the field. Currently he has scored 910 goals with 90 goals in contention if he could reach the target or not before retirement. The Poland defense was poorly manned  with many lapses giving Portugal  opportunity to find the back of their net with 5 goals out of 6 shots on target they had in that game.  I think Portugal can make it far to semi's in the world cup if they maintain their form to that moment.

given that Croatia is still impotent in attack because Kramaric has to play at all costs, while for me personally he is the worst striker that can be sent on the field.

That's the thing, Kramaric isn't striker really and he plays best when he is a little bit behind (like he does in Hoffenheim) but for some reason Daic puts him upfront every once in a while. Imho, we are even more impotent when Kramaric is not in the starting 11.

However, in the end, even the third place in the group would not be bad - especially if they already declared before the competition that the League of Nations is not too important for them and that it will be a preparation for the qualifications for the world championship.

There is a difference between being 2nd and 3rd, as top two teams from each group will have an easier draw for World Cup qualifications. Good news is that even if we end up 3rd in Nations League, we will still be top seeded as beside those 8 spots that are reserved for those who reach quarterfinal of Nations League, 4 spots will be based on FIFA ranking so we shouldn't have issues.

Andorra vs Moldova

Based on head to head statistics we can see Andorra can able to beat Moldova several times at their home but if we see from 5 latest meeting Moldova has good records because they can able to gets 3 wins from those matches and as a host Andorra had just return to the winning ways by beating San Marino with slim score but for Moldova from their latest match Moldova has just lost from Malta

I can see based on the odds Moldova is the favourite but i don't think they can able to beat Andorra because at home Andorra performance is quite good but i just thinking this match potentially will ended to draw and this option has high odds to bets @2.90 or if doubt with this option i think over 1.5 goals is good to picked

watching Ronaldo at 39 scoring classical acrobatic goal is just amazing and this is why Portugal still have  him in the team even when he's been expected to be ommited in some games or at least start from the bench at some point. This is not the first time Portugal has been smashing porland with this kind of margin, in the last five encounters Portugal has met them, its never ended against Portugal other than the one Time draw. Seeing that Ronaldo had the highest player rating in this game goes to show how feasible it will be for him to play not just at the nation league to completion but also play at the world and hopefully make attempt to see the possibility of winning the world cup.

Portugal 5 - 1 Poland
Denmark 1 - 2 Spain

Yes, that's right, the results are as expected. Especially Portugal, I'm sure they will be far superior to Poland, it's just that, 5 goals, wow, that's cool for them. But indeed, Robert Lewandowski had to be absent from defending Poland for this match because he was still recovering from an injury. In fact, Poland was also quite attacking and even tried 12 shots towards Portugal's defense, but it's less sharp. Ronaldo made 2 goals in this match, yes, whatever the haters will always hate and mock him, his contribution to the team is still very big.

I remember that the odds for Portugal to win were just over 1.20 before the game. I'm a fan and was hoping for a win, but I thought those odds were extremely unfair to Poland. The first half, where there was an almost equal fight (Portugal was leading only in ball control) was not a surprise for me. On the contrary, I was glad that I correctly assessed the game and did not bet on the coefficient of 1.20+... My opinion changed in the second half, Poland simply fell apart and was routed. The bookmakers were right.

Cristiano Ronaldo last night did what only Cristiano Ronaldo can do it comes to aerial balls by scoring a spectacular bicycle kick against a top European nation like Poland in a competitive competition like the UEFA Nations League. Ronaldo last night was able to find the back of the net on two different occasions while providing one assist in the game to claim the man of the match. @39 the Portuguese superstar is still playing international games and delivering incredible performances and that's one of the reasons he's regarded as the greatest footballer of all time by many

Among top national teams in the world you’re right Portugal is one with enough talented players right now that some talented players will have to sit on the bench because they can’t all be played. They are very promising players and now it seem more like they are getting to understand each other better compared to in the past. There are only few countries with as many talented players as Portugal so it is easier for them win games now. The win was good and massive that no one expected such a result after ending goalless in the first half, they ended up winning 5-1 with Ronaldo scoring twice and as usual increasing his goal tally trying to reach 1000 goal mark.

Ronaldo played great again, he scored two goals and made an assist, he still shows a very good game.

Ronaldo had a great game, but unfortunately due to age he is no longer able to deliver this kind of performance in every game he plays now. He is close to his target of 1000 goals, it is not impossible.

With his age he cannot give such good performances consistently in every game the coach just have to manage him properly so he can keep giving good performances till he eventually retires. The 1000 goal mark is getting closer with every game played so soon he might achieve his aim.

We didn't give any chance to Wales in the first half but still couldn't make use of so many goal chances at the same time.    Turkey should be able to win this match easily normally. I hope that Montella thinks of subbing in a real striker instead of continuing with Barış Alper in the centre-forward position. He already knows this doesn't work out for the team as Barış Alper is mainly a winger. There are nice options among substitutes like Semih Kılıçsoy, Enes Ünal and Bertuğ Yıldırım.

Portugal 5 - 1 Poland
Denmark 1 - 2 Spain


As expected, Portugal win strongly and Spain as well although I was expecting more from Spain but a win is a win. This Poland team is no good. I knew it since their first game in the Euros and they have only continued to go downhill. I wonder what would become of Poland when Lewandowski retires.

Anyway, Spain ever so consistent this year with another win in their back. A force to be reckoned with for sure.

Yesterday's match results came as expected, I expected Portugal to win the match and Spain to win or draw, Portugal won the match with 5 goals and Ronaldo scored two goals if I can remember some people said that Ronaldo should retire because he is getting old, anyone that watch Ronaldo and Messi match will know that Messi needs to retire before Ronaldo because Ronaldo still have the energy with him and he can score goals more than what some young striker player can do.

Portugal won the match comfortably without any stress, although the first half of the match looked boring because no team scored a goal in the game but in the second half of the match the game looked very interesting, and for Spain, the only reason why Spain win the match is that Denmark did not have a good striker that will help them score a goal if not Spain will find it difficult to win the match.

[ajanwalker]

Wales took to the field to avoid losing this match and maybe it would be a surprise in the last matches. They always tried to find positions with counter attacks.
With the defeat they suffered today, Montenegro will play against Türkiye in the last match for prestige.
Wales will play against Iceland at home to win, but it will not be an easy match.
If Wales had not played so defensively today, we could have watched a match with goals.
Kerem, who played great ball for Benfica, aimed the penalty won at the post in the 89th minute.
If this penalty had been a goal, Türkiye would have been promoted to the Nations A League without the need for the last matches, but the knot will be solved on Tuesday.

Huh unfortunately there were no goals until the match ended even though Turkey has many opportunities but somehow looks difficult, 23 shot efforts and 3 on target is proof they control the match yeah maybe luck is not on their side. There was no shift in Group B 4 and Turkey is still at the top of the group but of course they are not safe because there is still one more match, I think there is no problem against Montenegro should be an easy win and Turkey can lock the position as group winner.

There are still a few matches today and I see 3 teams can win easily Germany, Netherlands and Sweden not a bad idea to place parlay bets there with total odds @2.23

If we're being fair, Poland is no match for Portugal. As a matter of fact, Poland was the last in their group in the Euro 2024 competition that ended a few months ago and they're still that terrible. Spain on the other hand is a top tier team but yesterday, they were not at their best and Denmark couldn't take advantage of that opportunity to hand them their first loss in a long time.

As for Ronaldo and Messi, I agree — Ronaldo still have plenty in him to keep going even if he's pushing 40. Man is still fit.
