Nations League: Spain-England 15 October 2018 (R)

Ceballos and Paco getting set to enter.

Edit:
On in 56th minute
Saul and Aspas off

 

Nice header by the small guy.

 

well 1 goal, I really really hope we can tie this, but I don't think we can win, the clock is ticking and we need 4 to win.

 

Lot of people claiming penalty but I'm not 100% certain. Pickford did block him off but... I'm not fully convinced it's a penalty.

 

I don't understand why most coach wait till like 60 minutes to sub, (like yesterday Germany's coach won't sub till like 60 minute in) like seriously can't they sub earlier?

 

If we lost this game, we will go to second place on the group chart right?

But we still have 2 more games in November, that mean we still can win this group if we win the 2 games in Nov right?

 

Well 60 minutes is better than some. The Barca coach won't sub any earlier than at the 80th minute mark.

 

ah, thank you Sir for explain to me.

I'm so sad. Italy is my favorite team, and Spain is my second favorite team. It sucks to see them lost like this, blame it on their poor performance in the first half that lead to conceded 3 goals entering second half, 3 is hard to get back

 

It's just a friendly. While one would never like to lose, I think this loss is good in that it shows Luis Enrique what our glaring weakness is and see if he can correct that. Maybe he'll actually add our best left back to the next squad? Probably not but it would be nice to not hamstring the team due to personal grudges.

 

4 more minutes till the clock run out, hic, we lost this game.

Let hope England won't top the group and go on to the Nations League final.

 

this is NOT a friendly. People keep have this misconception that Nations League is a friendly, it is NOT. This is part of our qualifying for EuroCup2020 too.

 

It is a glorified friendly. Only one team can qualify for the Eurocup in this, everyone else has to qualify the normal way.

 

Italy's fan here, and we have some Italy's fan keep saying it friendlies too last time when Italy lost to Portugal, Nope, not a friendly. If Italy keep losing in the Nations League, first is they will relegate to league B group, and second is they won't qualify for EuroCup2020.

Last thing I want is see my team not qualify, Italy already lost out on the last WorldCup.

Italy did well yesterday against Poland, so we back to second on the chart again, I'm happy, at least we safe for now.

 

oh okay, thanks for explain to me.
And I doubt Italy will win the Nations League anyways, lol (and I'm a HUGE Italy's fan), but I admit we have alot of rebuidling to do.

I just hope my team won't relegate to league B.

 

This is not qualifying. Only one team out of this whole nations league nonsense will qualify.

 

The Qualifiers are still the primary route to the Euro finals. This Nations League thing is a secondary route for teams that don't qualify the 'normal' route.

As for that Rodrigo/Pickford incident...

Thank you for explain to me. Got it.

But it sucks if we bottom the chart and get relegate to league B though. We, I mean my team Italy, we was last at our chart last time, now we up to second.

Not saying Spain will relegate, you guys won't, at worst is you guys finish second in the chart.

 

well 2-3, good news right? There still hope Spain can still top the group right?
