Not only did England fail to beat Italy, but they failed to win three consecutive games for the first time. As of now, it seems teams in this tournament are not very serious. The top 5 European teams are not performing well, not just England. These games are not needed and are badly timed. There hasn't been a break for these guys, especially the top teams, but they are straight into international competition.
The Nations League was really interesting today. I mean that all of the matches in the League A ended in draws. This was definitely not the thing I was expecting to see. The England - Italy match was really boring and maybe it was related to its being played with no spectators. The Netherlands - Poland one was an interesting one as Poland got 2-0 ahead first and Netherlands made the score 2-2 in a short time. They missed a penalty too in the last minutes and Poland stole the point they wanted.
It's not a good thing to see 
2 my bets are lost here and indeed the English and Italian games are really boring even though in terms of possession and chances there are quite a lot but it makes me sleepy because there really isn't anything interesting there.For the Netherlands I was very confident at first but indeed they forgot the defense area when they focused on attacking which resulted in them conceding a goal and Poland indeed for the first half and the beginning of the second half were very good but already 2 goals ahead they seemed to have forgotten their concentration which made 2 goals in return with easy.
It wasn't the best day in the Nations League so far I'm afraid. The England - Italy game was a very poor one. England should have won this game after playing decently but they wasted another chance. They don't seem very serious in this tournament now. Germany also couldn't defeat Hungary but it hasn't been easy to do this against them in away games as well. Hungary play well in their home games.
I also saw the same thing like they were not too serious in this match when they get the chance to win easily but can't do it if we think this is a coincidence but it shouldn't be almost every match. However I will avoid more bets in this tournament because the chance of losing will be higher I prefer to enjoy it as a spectacle. If I have to bet it is not on the winning/ losing market.
What a bad day for gamblers in the nations league many unexpected results netherland not able to win against poland and germany draw against hungary were the most upseting for me, netherlands team was the closest to win they did an impressive comeback after being down 2 0 unfortunatly they couldn't get the victory but germany, england and belgium teams should forget about their games because they didn't deserve to win them.
No need to be surprised it's not the first time right, somehow saying it they think this match is not very important so the effort to win is also low
Just a few teams playing normally like in other tournaments while some play without a burden and without motivation so the final result doesn't really matter whether it's a draw or a loss doesn't matter.

To me I think England is the best team to win the game, I also placed a bet on them., though football can't be easily predicted sometimes. Recently England are really in a good position to secure a win against Italy, perhaps the both teams are strong they both have quality and experience players, but I think England squad is more stronger and they really have what it takes to win the match. Italy recent performance in the nation league is discouraging, they really needs to work on their pattern of play, and strengthen the defense line to avoid conceiving alot of goals. Though I suggest the both countries should be really watchful and careful, cause it won't be a easy for them.
Well like I said the match ended in a draw goalless kinda boring watching it Italy plays more defensively and doesn't make much of an attack attempt
Lucky I didn't take a bet here I prefer the match between Netherlands vs Poland more interesting and more goals even though it ended in a draw
I was excited about the games today but almost all of them were disasters. Only the game between Netherlands and Poland was amazing really. That high tension in the second half of the game was worth watching. I was hoping for Netherlands to win the game too after capturing a good psychologic advantage. I'm afraid they couldn't make it. England - Italy was a game that I wanted to forget about the most.
Hungary 1 - 1 Germany
Germany failed to defeat Hungary and remained in 3rd place. Quite an interesting situation in the A3 group - from the first place to the last, the difference is 3 points. In this group of death, Hungary looks good and comes in second place. It will be unexpected if, as a result of the group stage, not Hungary, but England/Germany will fall out of the group. Italy seems to be playing solidly - at least they don't have defeats.
it's like a hell group but the gameplay shown in every match is not that impressive i guess. Even the goal ratio in the 3 matches that have been made in this group is very poor in my opinion.Germany failed to defeat Hungary and remained in 3rd place.

But on the other hand I quite applaud Hungary at the moment because they are very capable of dealing with the dominance of a club that is generally far above them
Many matches in the Nations League today have ended in a draw. But we also saw a few goals. Belgium led 0-1 for a long time, but in the 86th minute it still became 1-1. Italy against England was indeed a very boring game and we didn't see any goals there. For Germany it must be the most disappointing. Again unable to win and this time a draw against Hungary. They are now making a mess of the group. I don't see them winning the group like this anymore.
It's not surprising, of course, because I think these countries seem wholeheartedly playing for this tournament. The match between England and Italy looks good to watch because they are two big countries with good football. But it's hard to believe the result because it was just a goalless draw.It seems that this is not the tournament that many players want, judging by how teams like Spain, Germany, England and some other big teams have gotten results. I don't know what a lot of players think, but I just think that this Nations League tournament is something that might be a bit of fun when there are no active leagues.
I think that the most enjoyable game now is Netherlands - Poland. Poland got 2-0 ahead in the first minutes of the second half. However Netherlands turned the game around incredibly by scoring two goals in only four minutes. It is still 2-2 now but Netherlands have the momentum now that's for sure. I started to believe that Netherlands are going to make it to a win. Maybe it is going to be a hard-fought one but they can do this. They are the team I like the most in this group too btw.
this was quite unexpected because I still feel that the Netherlands will still have the upper hand in this match but Poland's counter-attack was really powerful. they even went 2 goals ahead but the mistake was that they started to lose focus and the Dutch played more insistently after conceding the second goal.However these 2 goals in the space of 3 minutes really left Poland speechless and the Dutch had their confidence back after that. this draw is not too bad for the Netherlands.

It was one of the most boring days in this tournament so far. The only good game for me was Netherlands - Poland obviously because we watched four goals in total in this game. And the way Netherlands tried to make a comeback was really good. They were so close to winning the game too but they shouldn't have wasted that penalty. England couldn't win another game and their form is still very poor. They have a great squad but still struggling this much.
I said Italy-England would be boring, but I wish it wasn't.
England played more dominant football but couldn't find a goal. The draw is completely in Italy's favor. After 3 matches Italy finished as the leader.
What surprised me was the Germany-Hungary match. Although the Hungarians had more scoring opportunities, they had to settle for a draw.
In the other group, the Netherlands played dominant but failed to get the 3 points. Poland played almost nothing. Netherlands is probably upset that they didn't get 3 points even though they played very well.

I was really amazed how Denmark was defeated. Croatia is a good team, but Denmark is more mature and more systematic. Croatians are generally in search of new ones. This group continues to surprise. Let's see what will happen? When Modric entered the game in the 2nd half, he officially dominated all Denmark. What a great gunner he is. There are very few people in the world right now who play so simply but perfectly.
Denmark is so good with this team in these years and I think they will really have good results and success. On the other hand, Croatia is always good and they will also probably have good success in the coming years.

Interesting to see all games finished as draw in A league. I mainly watched Netherlands game and it was better than others. They made a comeback from 0-2 to 2-2 in just three minutes. Netherlands is still the leader of the group. Belgium was close to win but they conceded a late goal from Wales and missed two important points.
Group 3 may be the interesting and competing group. Germany couldn't beat Hungary and lost a big chance. England couldn't find a goal either, they are last in the group. Italy is still leading. Anything is still possible in this group as teams have five to two points, which means only one game distance.

Cristiano Ronaldo absent from the Portuguese team that will play Switzerland tomorrow. He didn't travel with the squad, Coach Fernando Santos said CR7 was fit for the match but he wanted him to rest as a step to rotating his players.. Portugal sit top of the group with 7 points two points more than Spain in second place on 5 points..with Czech Republic in third with 4 points, Switzerland in 4th with zero points..
Today's game saw Italy and England play out a goalless draw...while Hungary and Germany played out a 1:1 draw... Netherlands Vs Poland played a 2:2 draw .. while Wales and Belgium played out a 1:1 draw... Ukraine were 3:0 winners against Armenia... while Republic of Ireland won Scotland 3:0.. it was an interesting game and the team are getting one stressed out...I think it's fatigue

Lol @ England & Southgate. A quite embarrassing set of results & performances sees them finish bottom of their group which contained Italy, Germany & Hungary. You may wonder why as an English guy, I laugh at England. Well, the answer is most Liverpool fans feel the same, a big disconnect with the national team. I’d rather LFC win a throw in than England win a trophy.
