The UEFA Nations League was created so we would have less friendlies and make International football more enjoyable.....it's not working though. It's still as boring as ever. The only time anybody cares about international football is when the club football season is finished and when major international tournaments are taking place.

Well ... The Netherlands won 3 0 vs Germany

That Germany vs France game will be super hot for the germans !!!! If they lose, That's going to be Ligue B for them. If they win, 3 teams will only be separated by a single point ... Very tough group !!

Nice rehash - I will be looking forward in watching some of that footie action

Poland are relegated to League B after their defeat to Italy at home (0-1) with a late goal (90+2) by Italy.

Jorginho was a major force for Italia as well

France vs Germany

Ireland vs Wales

Ukraine vs Czech Republic

Will England start the "it's coming home Wembley 2020" campaign against Spain or will Spain make it 3 in a row and qualify for the final 4 ? Northern Ireland are on the brink of relegation to League C and may actually get relegated tonight in the event of another defeat vs Bosnia again. Tommorrow, will the much beloved French World Champions avenge themselves for that lackluster performance vs Iceland and send former world champions Germany to 2nd division ? Also, Ireland will face Wales in order to avoid its demise and Ukraine might already ensure their promotion to League A in Kiev if they win against Petr Cech's former team. Finally,  Iceland will face Switzerland and will certainly seek to recreate their 12th of october's performance vs France for this occasion.

I want to say The Chelsea lads looked good, but I hate to type this. It was the typical performance for Morata. I am starting to worry that Alonso might be heading back to Spain. He looked good going forward. Defensively? not so much & Barkley was all that & a bag of chips.

 

Good win, any match in Spain is hard.Luis Enrique now knows what its like to be a Chelsea manager, chasing a game and all you have is Morata to turn to.
