The final stages of the very first UEFA Nations League starts tomorrow. Only four teams can win it - who do you think will the the first Nations League champions.

Portugal v Switzerland tomorrow night, followed by Netherlands v England on Thursday.

The Final and the 3rd/4th Place Playoff take place on Sunday.

If England win the first one, will they have a legitimate claim to the phrase "it's coming home" whenever they play in it in future?

I was only half paying attention at the penalty - was it? VAR to me looked like Pepe had his hand up, missed it entirely, and his teammate headed it. But i was watching it while doing something else and not listening to the commentary.

It wasn't for a hand ball, the attacker seems to have been tripped.

Yes. It's all one way, right enough.


When we played England at Hampden there wasn't a hint of trouble on the train from Glasgow central to mount florida and there were about 4 or 5 England fans on our carriage. Just banter and they were laughing about it. Infact i dont think there was much trouble the whole day or on the other 3 occassions the two have met in the last decade.

When you get it rammed down your throat that "jock football is ***** and pub league level" they should expect it back when they ultimately do what they always do on the international stage and bottle it when it matters.

Yes. It's all one way, right enough.


When we played England at Hampden there wasn't a hint of trouble on the train from Glasgow central to mount florida and there were about 4 or 5 England fans on our carriage. Just banter and they were laughing about it. Infact i dont think there was much trouble the whole day or on the other 3 occassions the two have met in the last decade.

When you get it rammed down your throat that "jock football is ***** and pub league level" they should expect it back when they ultimately do what they always do on the international stage and bottle it when it matters.

Missing my point but probably my fault by including the ABE point in my post. Personal abuse abounds towards English people in Scotland. And yes we'll all know an Englishman who's lived here for decades without a problem. Doesnt change facts though. Anyway as I said, maybe for another thread....and by the way I personally cant stand the English media and their attitude towards Scotland. So sad that close neighbours have such negativity towards each other

Aye ok. I was trying to give some insight to the abuse English people get from Scots and how that has affected their relationship with us. I see it daily..do you? Anyway I'm certainly not offended on others behalf. Perhaps a topic for elsewhere with rational debate

I get it most days and give it back ( probably because of where I live). It’s all part and parcel of rivalry. I cannot stand England ( football or sports in general) and most of the English I know feel the same about Scotland ( not all).

It’s certainly not all one way.

They bring the “ hatred “ on themselves at any rate. Most countries or supporters in other countries detest them

We have ABE
England have SNP (Scotland’s Not Playing)
It’s called banter, and this is actual banter not racism or sectarianism some try to mask as “banter”
When it comes to international football I support 2 teams, Scotland and whoever plays England. My English in-laws and pals accept that and we all give as good as we get

The ABE thing is a lot more tame than it was when i was growing up in the 90's. Just shows how far we've fallen that it's not as big a rivalry as it once was. I've seen plenty Scottish people wearing England tops and supporting them during recent tournaments. Unsurprising with us not having qualified for anything since 1998 and the EPL rammed dowm our throats constantly. Same goes for club football. When i was at school you rarely saw an English club side top but now you rarely see a Scottish one being worn by youngsters. I remember mass celebrating when Southgate missed that penalty in Euro 96. It's definitely changed since.

When I was young I remember seeing a lot of Liverpool tops. Probably because the team was full of Scots.

The most common tops here were Hibs,Hearts and the now defunct old firm. I know a lot of Celtic supporters who do not buy their children tops due to the animosity they attract from bigots. Sevco support are boycotting Mike Ashley so not many tops to be seen. I suspect a lot of parents will be like the Celtic families I know.

What you do see now is a lot of foreign tops. Didn't get that back in the day.

What happened?

Wilson pushed a player over in the box and ended up scoring after Alli hit the bar. Ref went over to review it and correctly ruled it out

Not sure where you get bottled it from, they never bottled anything. They were however well beaten by a far superior side, happens to Scotland often so you should be familiar with the concept.

I'll have you know we can lose to teams much worse than us too. Superiority is not a requirement.

As all teams can, sometimes it acts as a wake up call when things appear to be going so well, which isn’t a bad thing either.

Wouldn't say this Dutch team are much better than England. I think England have a better squad and should have won the match.

Lapses of concentration late in the game cost them - if it's not bottling it, then what is it?

They were drawing 1-1 going into extra time when two cases of kamikaze defending lead to them conceding two very preventable goals.

I'd say they bottled it.

eh :confused: the dutch team i watched on thursday were MUCH better than their opponents, the match stats back my thoughts up


possession

53% v 47%

shots

29 v 13

shots on target

14 v 3


and from the EBC

The Dutch were the far superior side but they were gifted their route to the showdown against Portugal (https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48514708) on Sunday by suicidal defending in extra time by England, who were hoping to go one better than their World Cup semi-final exit against Croatia last summer.

Don't know what's so difficult. Dutch side on paper are pretty mediocre for a Dutch team. They beat (and outplayed) England on the big occasion...the England team didn't turn up and bottled it.
