[Football] The Inaugural Nations League draw , Today 11 am ish

[BensGrandad]

How is this worked as Sky said we are guaranteed a last 4 place?

 

[Bozza]

Are they definitely relegated?

You know that they say:

There's no such thing as an easy game in international football these days. Unless you're playing Germany.

Semi-finals are next Summer, likely in Portugal.

Portugal are through, Holland or France will get through and the final place will be Belgium or Switzerland.

Not looked as the draw yet but assume England got the same piss-poor easy draw they always get.

not bitter, not bitter at all...

Maybe the Scots got a tough draw in their top group?

i hear they are struggling to get the shirt on 11 current pro's

 

[Bozza]

Meaningless, low-intensity and passionless friendly.

England did really well there and fully deserved the win.

Justice. England dominated in every sense until they scored and the final 20 minutes.

They’ve never recovered since losing world class CMS and Iwelumo.

I think our worst player was Walker who was abysmal. Kane did his job scored winner and an assist for the equaliser what is there not to like. Good to see Delph play well. I wonder how many remember his pitch length run for Leeds at Withdean which brought GM much abuse for not tracking him

Don’t get me wrong, I like Harry Kane, a great centre forward, I just think he looks knackered at the moment, not only for England, but Spurs too.
He has now been playing or injured for three years , more or less constantly. I think he needs a rest or he could go the way of Torres after his last full season at Liverpool, where he’d played constantly for 3 years.

The first since the brilliant Stanley Baxter.

Kane had a shocker, until those two undeniably great contributions.

One season wonder. All he does is score goals. Well overrated.

or the sweaties!

So, the semi finalists could be Portugal, England, France, and Belgium.

That wouldn’t be too shabby as a short summer tournament.

...or England, Portugal, Netherlands and Switzerland....

Semis 5 & 6 June, final on 9th and 3rd place play off on 10th. Home advantage for Portugal.

 

[blue-shifted]

A little trip to Portugal next summer may be in order!

Well done UEFA on this tournament (didn't think i'd ever say that)
