Portugal are on a roll. Golden generation or ronaldo?
No. Sure it gets you into the playoffs if you completely feck up your qualification for the Euros. So gives you a second chance.So does Portugal now automatically qualify for something?
I have it on good authority from his mother that he's coming back.Yes, of course he is, because he loves United with his whole heart, we are all he thinks about, and Manchester is his home.
This is a different team from 2016. We’re much better now.Portugal are on a roll. Golden generation or ronaldo?
He's been insane these last 2-3 season really picked up at Monaco and kept improving. This was meant to be Isco who's very similar but hasn't had that same bite I see in B. Silva.Bernardo the best player on the pitch by miles for me. He's done a number on De Jong, and the entire dutch defence for that matter. Even Van Dijk went into panic everytime he got the ball into a bit of space
Also great game by the Danilo-William duo and the CB duo for Portugal
Calma, he scored a hat trick in the semi.CR not scoring tonight = one step closer for Messi towards his 6th Ballon D'Or.
Nope. They only get a spot in the qualification playoffs if they fail to finish in the top 2 in their group.So, are Portugal qualified for the Euros now?
It's the same as the second Copa tournament in SA to have a bit more competitive competition but for European teams.I'm honestly still not sure what the Nations League really is, but fair play to Portugal for winning it.
Ahh right, I don’t follow them much to be honest but they don’t seem shy in winning stuff these days. Gone the opposite way to Italy for example.This is a different team from 2016. We’re much better now.
Wouldn’t call it a golden generation though. This was our best match in over 2 years.
At least we don’t have to listen to VVD ones for a few hours at least.Mass Ronaldo vanity quotes and posts incoming.
No. I hope we miss it, dominating Europe is getting boring to be honest. We should give other countries a chance.So, are Portugal qualified for the Euros now?
City's best player this season too. Don't feel he's had the credit he's deserved this year. For all the hype over van Dijk, Bernardo has been just as impressive.Bernardo has turned into a world class player this season. He’s always been pretty crap for us in the past but it’s obvious we’ve figured it out. Was brilliant tonight and vs Switzerland, Dias was the best player on the pitch tonight though.
This is a team win through and through though, Bernardo and Ronaldo are stars but they play for the team. We’re a national team but we’re run like a football club. You can change players, lose our best defender and it doesn’t matter. That’s how football should be played.
Incredibly proud. In the past 3 years we’ve killed the ghost of Greece 2004.
No problem.
Thanks

The Nations League final 4 knockout stage was just for glory. It offered no other incentive. The playoff spots were for the group winners in the Nations League. This also includes groups in the lower divisions.Wtf, so what's the point of this tournament then?
It’s a strange format. Wales for example could have benefited in losing their group, going down a pool and then winning next year for automatic qualification to a tournament, if I’ve got that rightThe Nations League final 4 knockout stage was just for glory. It offered no other incentive. The playoff spots were for the group winners in the Nations League. This also includes groups in the lower divisions.
if you are a rich man then only death is certain.“There’s two certainties in life. Death, and taxes.”
To top the League of Nations.Wtf, so what's the point of this tournament then?

Dumfries is the rb though... but you are right. Add Robben, van Persie and Sneijder and they would be almost unstopable.Thanks
Any young forwards ready to break through for you guys? You desperately need it.
Dutch CBs in 2006: Ooijer and Mathijsen
Dutch CBs in 2019: Van Dijk and De Ligt
Dutch forwards in 2006: Sneijder, Van Persie, Kuyt, Robben
Dutch forwards in 2019: Dumfries, Depay, Babel
You just need to get it right all at once and then you'll beat us
Looking at the current youth players coming from Ajax and the recent under 17’s performances I wouldn’t be much worried. And the same applies to Italy.Dumfries is the rb though... but you are right. Add Robben, van Persie and Sneijder and they would be almosy unstopable.
Well.. a decent goalkeeper would help too. Cillessen is shit.
