Nations League 24/25

This Spain plays too good man, biggest favourites for WC in my opinion

Argentina and Spain will be the 2 biggest favorites for the WC.

Can't wait for La Finalissima.

There's a real dearth of absolutely top quality NTs right now. Argentina and Spain are two, and I think Germany can join them with Nagelsmann leading them.

France have outrageous talent in quantity definitely (and in quality too), but they play such negative non-connective football.

I'd be very surprised if the victor isn't one of the three named in my first paragraph.

The problem with France is that they lack that passing quality and creativity in the middle.

Pogba, with all his flaws, had incredible passing range and can kick off counter attacks really well. Griezmann will solely be missed after his retirement.

We're actually drawing away in Croatia. They'll win in the second half, though.

I don't generally care about the NT though. Also, as I will be near Glasgow on Tuesday, Ronaldo will be within a 10 mile vicinity of me when Portugal come to Glasgow in a day or two. I feel filthy being that close to him

Here's hoping you get close enough to him to give him a good seagulling.

Yeah that is true. I am far from a fan of Pogba but he can play an incisive pass. I said a while ago that - even though he only really performed well in WC 2018 - they have missed his passing ability hugely. Now they have noone who can open teams up on the counter, as you say, anyone who can play a medium or long pass and get a speedy winger away or isolated with a full-back etc.

Griezmann has been a legend for them. What impresses me about Griezmann is he's a team player til the end - he sacrifices himself for France and has done the same at Atletico sometimes too. It doesn't seem to matter to him if he doesn't boost his stats, he does what is best for the team and follows the manager's instructions (and he is fucking good at this, too).

If you hear he's been assassinated don't expect me to be back online

That's Leao's main trick, running and beating people with pace. He's not very good at most other things.
