Monzanator 3,595 Posted June 22, 2021 #1401 Share Posted June 22, 2021 @OlympicsFan@LDOG Portugal finished behind Ukraine in the qualifying group but they were still seeded in the best pot as they made the Final Four of the 2018/19 Nations League. Same as Switzerland who was therefore overseeded by common sense (they beat Belgium on goal difference to make the Final Four). The other big spoiler was Germany being down in third pot due to the fact they got infamously relegated from the inaugural Nations League competition and had a worse goal difference than Poland (last team in Pot 1).

Vektor 3,195 Posted June 23, 2021 #1403 Share Posted June 23, 2021 I think it has chanced how people view our chances of qualification in Hungary after the previous match, it went from "no chance in hell" to "maybe???". You can easily guess what I am expecting after I have been pessimistic about our chances for the entire group stage. My only wish is that the EURO doesn't with a big loss for Hungary this time, I am afraid that the team might be tired, the match against France in that heat was visibly really exhausting for them. This is the part where I should say "I will eat my shoe if we beat Germany in Munich and qualify for R16", but I am no betting man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agger 1,591 Posted June 23, 2021 #1404 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Seems like the match in Amsterdam will still have som Danish fans. About 2.000-2.500 are expected. There won't be much time to celebrate though as they have to leave more or less at once as they will be using the 12 hour window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t really matter. If a system allows 3 of the 4 top European teams of the past decade to be drawn in the same group, then the system obviously doesn’t make sense. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kungshamra71 687 Posted June 23, 2021 #1409 Share Posted June 23, 2021 This is the current feeling among portugueses for the hell match against super France (that's Eder, the guy who scored the goal 5 years ago in the final, teaching all the current players about it haha) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's UEFA's system so it's "house always wins" rule They obviously wanted to add extra importance to the Nations League so teams don't treat it like glorified friendly matches to begin with. Our squad vs Sweden. Krychowiak returns after red card, Moder isn't even on the bench with a minor knee injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
