2018–19 UEFA Nations League and UEFA 2020 qualifying thread

The emphasis has been much more on the downs in recent years given Italy haven’t even reached the last 16 of any of the last three World Cups

We’ve been in a European Championship final and quarter final.

Well done

Thanks but we won nothing.

Big of a stretch classifying Italy as a decent side. They didn’t even qualify for the last World Cup.

Probably explains why it’s the only draw on the list

Bit of a stretch to classify Holland as such too given they didn’t qualify either, nor for Euro 2016

Though I suppose they do have the Ballon D’Or winner for 2019 who is dragging the rest of them up by their clogs now

England beat them last year by the way

Germany didn’t qualify from the group stage at the last World Cup, hardly a decent side

However England beat them when Germany still were decent in 2016

Spain went out at the last 16 stage

England beat them away in October, as they did Croatia, winning their group

France are pretty decent and England beat them at the end of 2015

But a lot of store being placed on friendly games here and not much on competitive action

Not much about Sweden, for instance, who are a very decent side who England beat well in a World Cup quarter-final less than a year ago

Didn’t England thrash World Cup finalists Croatia a few months ago? Won away in Spain as well.

No

Very soft penalty for Germany. Ball hit De Ligt on the hand. 2-2

2 qualify and this is only their third game. Norn Iron have to play Germany and Netherlands twice each yet

Holland don’t lose to Germany in Hamburg in European Championship ties, they don’t draw either for that matter

2-4
