daviebee Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 Enrique seems to have done away with the tippy-tappy nonsense that worked when Xavi, Iniesta and Silva were 8 years younger and they had Pedro, Fabregas and Alonso around them. 6-0 v the WC finalists is pretty scary stuff.

Toepoke Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 A couple of severe pumpings for Iceland to start their group off too. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim Jim Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 As I understand it, all league A teams will be in pot 1 for the Euro draw, so maybe some teams are not taking the NL seriously.  I don't know if Croatia or Iceland are resting/retiring players after the WC for instance? Correction... Two teams will drop to pot 2 and those two look favourites now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at the Spain game tonight and there was still plenty tippy tappy. At one point they must have strung about 30/40 passes together without Croatia touching the ball, mind you they were 4 nil up at that time. Spain were very impressive and a pleasure to watch.Back to their best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a harder qualifying draw this time, and no chance of winning the Nations League - there is a trophy after all.  Prize money gets lower the further down you drop as well. It’s a clever move tying the Euro pots and prize money to the Nations League sections.  Should avoid anyone deliberately tanking.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
