I think it will be an easy match for Türkiye, the weakest team in the group is Montenegro.

I think Montella can give a chance to new players in this match, and he should.
Let's see what kind of match we will watch on Friday.

After watching our performance against Iceland, it looks like something has started to change in a positive direction.  Smiley  This encourages me also to believe we will get a decent result.

Montenegro have started the group really badly and they have 0 points after 2 matches. They are underperforming way more than I expected. Montella finally preferred the right formation and strategies in that Iceland match. If he doesn't change it to a defensive one again, we should be comfortably winning this one.

We are currently leading our group as well. With the current performance, we should be able to win the rest of the matches.

Türkiye will play against Montenegro at home. On paper, the match seems very easy and I think Türkiye will win easily, but in football you never know.
Montella can field players in the first 11 that he has not given many chances before. If there is a harmony problem between the players, the match may be difficult.

As UEFA Nations League results will also affect country coefficients, most countries had better take this tournament seriously. Because they can use it for their advantage to get ahead of others. It is very important for having more quota for their clubs in tournaments such as the Champions League and more as well.

Sorry, what? When did they start using the standings as a coefficient in the Club coefficient?
Isn't it still based on points per clubs?
https://kassiesa.net/uefa/data/method5/ccoef2024.html

If they did change that, as I have no idea about it would be pretty stupid, I know it was a long time ago but I can still remember Inter playing with no Italian in the line-up against Ac Milan, what would that have to do with how the national team perform?



No, nothing has changed. There is no relation between national teams and club competition. Such thing just wouldn't make sense at all. Nations League remains to be tournament with little importance. I'm not against when club football get interrupted for qualifiers, but don't like at all when it get stopped because of Nations League. It's good that we're back to club football this weekend.

Netherlands vs Germany is going to be an exciting match between these two teams today. However, Germany are currently strong favorites in this match and most punters will be betting on them.
Moreover, in the previous match between Germany and the Netherlands, both teams performed well and there was a strong attack between the two teams. However, these two teams will meet today in the UEFA Nations League, and the betting odds for today's match suggest a win for the Netherlands. I think today's match is not possible to be a draw between the two teams.
Match 1x2
Nederland @2.68 Draw @3.60 Germany @2.80

We saw interesting match against Germany football team and  Netherland Football team. Both teams prepared well for this match and they used their all weapons to win this match . Netherland team draw that match and they were happy to draw that match  because everyone was in the side of Germany team. Reijnders did first goal of the match at the 2 minutes after starting the match and after that  Undav did second goal of the match and at that time, the score of both teams was equal but we saw one more change in this match when Kimmich did 3rd goal of the match . At that time, Germany was  close to win  but Germany could not defend in last goal and Dumfries did last goal of match and match decision was draw.

I cannot believe that Kane is still this good, I expected much worse from him and he is doing quite well, it is a good thing for him because nobody expected him to be this good this much, it's a good thing that he ended up with a bad result and we shouldn't really be worried about him for a while longer. He is old and I expected him to get worse but he looks like he has at least a few more seasons in him to be this good, maybe more we do not know but at least few more seasons unless he gets a big injury of course.

The thing is that England is playing a good style of football now, something they should have played long time ago, and I think they will definitely end up with a better result next time they have a real cup. World cup is next, I think if they keep this up at nations league and keep learning to play like this then we could actually see them be great at world cup and have a chance to win it. Obviously it is going to be very hard, but they have a bigger chance than last time if they keep playing like this.
They proved on the field that England were favorites against Finland, but Harry Kane's performance for England was simply outstanding. At this age, I would not have understood such a great performance if I had not seen Harry Kane. There were only two goals in the entire match, why did they lose those two goals, but the bigger issue is that the Harry Kane' rating in this match was 4.4. The way England organized their team against Finland must be admired. England has been completely successful playing in 4-2-3-1 format. By arranging the team in this way, the defense of any team is much stronger as well as the attacking line-up is also much stronger. Small teams can do well with big teams by organizing teams in this way.

Harry Kane played very well this time. And this is also an achievement and a gift for him. Yes, he celebrated his 100th cap with England with 2 goals scored as the winning goal against Finland. Cool, this time he must be very satisfied with his performance


I was fully intrigued by Kane's consistency towards scoring the first goal, the defender and goal keeper of Finland intercepted his targeted shots multiple times. At the look of it, the minute everyone concluded Kane wouldn't score again in the game, he surprised us all with the first and second goal. He's truly a well-made England striker.
Exactly, he surprised anyone, with his 2 goals, made England victory.
And we'll see in the next match whether Harry Kane can be in the top 3 top scorers of the UEFA Nations League. Because for now, with 2 goals, there are still many competitors. This is just the beginning and there are still many challenges there for Harry Kane and the national team.

Belgium's performance against Israel was good. We saw the dominance of Belgium against Israel. However, Belgium won the match due to De Bruyne's excellent performance. De Bruyne scored two goals in this match.
Well, but when they played against France, they couldn't be that optimal. So Belgium lost to France, without even scoring a single goal. De Bruyne looked frustrated at that time.

And the next match, next month, Belgium will face the first-ranked national team in the group, Italy. Honestly, I'm more sure that Italy will win, Italy's strength is quite even, especially their defense.

Well, we can see this data next:

Source: Harry Kane marks his 100th cap with both goals

68 goals in 100 games, very good statistics. I think he will play (the busy calendar allows) another 26 games for the national team and will come out on top in this indicator (for England).
After some of England's games I feel like Southgate has ruined too many title chances for this team. I don't know if he's the only one to blame, but England were awful at the Euros. Now they play adequate football.

I decided to cashout, the last match was England vs Finland and since I'm not planning on even watching it there is no entertainment, plus the odds were very low.
England won the game, two Harry Kane goals Improving the record he already has for England. The Finland goalkeeper tried a lot to keep many shots at his goal from entering and making a lot of saves, but England since they kept creating chances, they knew it was only going to take some time before the goalkeeper missed to save one. Harry Kane found the goal twice for England. England are in second position in their group, just behind Greece, but level on the same points. On October 10th, England and Greece will have a game, then we will know the team that will be on top of group C.
England will probably easily pass Greece and dominate the top spot on their own. We can say that there have been good matches for Greece so far. The match they will play against England will be critical, but considering the difference in their squads, they don't have much of a chance.

Germany would have won the game with those two clear chances Kai Havertz and Undav missed in the second half, it would have been 2-4 but they couldn't convert any of those two. The game was interesting and both teams gave a good account of themselves, they both never let the other to dominate in any way. If the Netherlands continue like this I believe they can be one of the unstoppable team in this qualifications and they can't be compared to teams like England or even the Belgium national team which I thought can give a wonderful performance.
I watched the England game but they still lack so much in that team, they find it hard to get more goals to make other teams in their group to be afraid of playing them. In the next international break I hope to see some of these teams do better than they have done.
The match between Germany and Netherlands ended in a 2-2 draw and the two teams were almost evenly matched at full time. Before the match started I saw many predictions that put Germany ahead for this match but Netherlands are always a strong team and they can beat any team in any conditions. The top two teams in the group have played two matches each where both the teams are at the first and second positions in the points table with 3 points in one match and one point in the other for a total of 4 points. There is no doubt that the Netherlands and Germany will go to the next round. However, Germany showed enough confidence in the two matches of the group stage that it gives the impression that they can overcome the obstacles ahead.

Türkiye beat Iceland 3-1 last night. I didn't watch the whole match, I just watched the summary. The star of the night was Kerem Aktürkoğlu, he scored 3 goals and made a hattrick. Türkiye started with a forward after a long time and saw the effect of this.

Kerem Aktürkoğlu was unquestionably the man of the match. When he was playing for Galatasaray, he was under pressure from the fans. It wouldn't be right to say that his psychology changed for the better on the first day, but in his first game he played with a completely relaxed mindset. Also, it should be noted that he scored 3 goals against Iceland, but he actually scored 5 goals because 2 of them were canceled by VAR. So, he got into many scoring positions in the Iceland game, which is even more important than scoring goals in my opinion...

In summary of everything, Germany and the Netherlands have solidified their place as the two best-performing teams in Group 3 with 4 points each. Germany was at the top of the game, having full control of the game(60% ball possession) despite being the visiting team. Germany was just unlucky in their scoring opportunities against the Netherlands cause, as not only did Kai Havertz and Undav miss good scoring opportunities, but Raum, Wirtz, and Beier also did.

That's the problem there. When they played against Israel, they dominated the game but when they got to play against a side that could match them, their wings were clipped. Like they were literally held to a stop because I couldn't count how many times they entered the 18 yard box of France seeing as most of their efforts were stopped half field.

You are right. Israel was a weak opponent. Israel's attack was not strong enough. So the players of Belgium have been able to dominate this match. Since the opponent was weak, Belgium played attacking strategy from the beginning of this match. As a result, Israel's players were under more pressure. Because of this, it became easier for Belgium to dominate the match.

But France was no weak opponent. And that's probably why Belgium's players were not confident in this match. If Belgium had played attacking strategy in this match, the match would have been more competitive. We could have seen more goals in this match. But Belgium played a defensive strategy. As a result, the French players have more opportunities to attack. And until the end, the players of Belgium could not resist the attack of the French players. Belgium's squad is not weak. In the upcoming matches, Belgium should definitely change the match strategy.

My predictions for today's games:
Andorra - Malta (a very difficult game to predict, I honestly see it as the kind of game that won't have many goals and will end in a draw)
Czech Republic - Ukraine (Ukraine to win)
Hungary - Bosnia-Herzegovina (Hungary to win)
North Macedonia - Armenia (Armenia to win)
Netherlands - Germany (Germany to win)


You got seriously trashed on those, not your lucky day  and way too many wins chosen in my opinion, plus I would never bet on things like Malta or Feroe, those are so low-level plays it takes just one guy to have the match of his life and it turns everything upside down...


It is obvious that new competitions are "invented" for the sake of making money, but football (as well as some other sports) stopped being just entertainment a long time ago.

I was looking for statistics about those and stumble upon the Andorra - Malta game and this is the best pic EUFA could come with



a 3,306 sets stadium with a track record of ~1000 attendees, why do we even organize these games?

I still do not understand the whole point of this tournament just like all the others, it's boring and it has no attention or hype neither, there is no reason for it at all.
~snip~

It is obvious that new competitions are "invented" for the sake of making money, but football (as well as some other sports) stopped being just entertainment a long time ago. Because of all this, the biggest pressure is on the players, but if the powerful clubs rebelled, maybe something would change - but they also receive monetary compensation so that they don't rebel too much.

However, this competition has at least some sense for those who want to improve their ranking when it comes to qualifying for the world championship. Being in the first or third pot makes a big difference.

Belgium's performance against Israel was good. We saw the dominance of Belgium against Israel. However, Belgium won the match due to De Bruyne's excellent performance. De Bruyne scored two goals in this match.

Belgium's players were confident from the start of the match against Israel. And a lot of attacks were made by the Belgian players. A total of 25 shots were made by the players of Belgium. 8 of these were on target. But Belgium played defensive strategy against France. This is why Belgium lost. Belgium managed only 9 shots in the entire match. Belgium played a defensive strategy. As a result, the French players were able to create a lot of attacking opportunities. The match would have been more competitive if the Belgium players had played attacking tactics. So I would say Belgium lost this match because of their match strategy. I thought I would see a competitive match. But the match was completely one-sided.
