2020/21 UEFA Nations League

GOD, sport is boring without the fans.....

Nope.. its fine. Some games are just boring. Especially preseason which this is.

 

[Evilo]

Sweden have been better considering the players at both teams disposals. We have been extremely compact between the blocks and very organised, and we have had three great chances. France scored a lucky goal from a half-chance at best.

So you're the better team because you were dominated and got scored 1 while parking the bus BECAUSE your team sucks?

OK.

Let me re-phrase!

IMO sport is boring without the atmosphere and fans! Even games that are well played.

 

[hatterson]

Got played by the fake.

Fake or not, you can't come off your post like that.

OK.

Nah, Sweden created dangerous chances unlike you and had 3 times as many shots as France. Played better generally and there was a small difference in possession. And Sweden made the World Cup quarter finals, they do not ”suck”. We made it further in the WC than Argentina, Germany, Portugal, Italy, Netherlands

 

[Evilo]

You had one single chance.
You suck in this game. You just park the bus and pray.

And it's the first time I see someone saying they are the better team because they have less talent and are only one down.
That's very Arsenal thinking.

Jota puts Portugal up 2-0

Is this Croatia after Modric/Rakitic then?

Without them (and without Perisic and Brozovic until the 60th minute to be fair), this has been the worst I’ve seen them play in at least a decade.

 

[HajdukSplit]

Even the game Croatia lost 6:0 to Spain wasn’t this bad, in that game they created at least some good chances. This lineup was too offensive and not enough fight. Not an excuse but the mentality around the Nations League is not taken seriously either

DK/Bel looks like a July friendly between two teams who bought 10 new players

Thorgan is having his worst game ever. Almost looks like Eden's disabled little brother. Denayer looks surprisingly good. Tielemans by far best player in the match. Looks ready for a great year.

 

[Evilo]

Well, too much boredom to me.
I'm switching off.

 

[Savi]

Mertens makes it 2-0

 

[koyvoo]

Alert Barca fans. Trincao makes international debut.

Jota and Felix already opened up their international goal scoring accounts. See if Trincao can pop one vs a porous Croatian defence.

 

[Chris P Bacon]

Lol at ESPN promoting “Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal” for a game he’s not even in

18 year old Jeremy Doku making his Belgium debut

 

[QuietContrarian]

Belgium, just the much better team - Even without 3 key players...

Denmark, uninspiring, too many players not getting regular play with their clubs is very visible..

England gonna win 4/5 - 0 on tuesday.
Denmark not gonna park the bus like Iceland.

Gonna be the same outcome as England - Czech Rep.

Not that Lukaku has been beast - But that man is a f***ing rock.. His physicality alone is a mega asset.

Griez lol.

Since I saw most the game the answer is easy : Sweden.
Apparently though you didn't see the game.

 

[Blender]

Good to see Kante back to being fit again, great performance in a boring game.

 

[YNWA14]

Sterling missing his penalty and Bjarnason scoring would've been peak England. Poor game and performance but it's basically a pre-season game so not a surprise.

Gomez impresses despite late scare in England win

Read that Gomez played really well up until the end when he gave away the penalty. Didn't see the game though. Sounds like it was a bit of a gongshow.

I think it was a hard game to judge the CBS because they didn’t do much. He had a couple attempted long passes but for the most part Iceland was so bunkered down that he had no chance to try for many longer plays and had incredibly little to do defensively.

Watched this game as it was on National television here in the states. Portugal looked really good going forward. They can win euro again for sure. Croatia looked like they didn’t want to play this game. Sure they were missing there best players but Portugal was also missing Ronaldo. Croatia had some good players but not deep enough to make a run for euros I don’t think. Watched the England-Iceland game as well. Iceland defended really well but England was pretty pathetic at creating good scoring chances. Game ended 1-0 for England but should have been 1-1 as Iceland missed a last second penalty.

Can’t comment on the game but I did see the goal. Mbbape should never score from that angle. Bad goal from the keeper.
