⚽UEFA Nations League 2024/2025⚽

[TelolettOm]

The match between Portugal and Spain was a great match. No one expected that Portugal would be able to bring out a positive result against Spain, but with their much effort, they made it possible by leading the game to a draw against Spain. Because if you look at the match, Spain almost dominated the first half with both possessions and shots on target; they were unaware that Portugal also came prepared to win the match.

After the match ended, after we found out that Portugal was the champion, the media was again always excited with various news about: Ronaldo, Yamal, and also Mendes. Yes, because those things are clickbait that are very effective in generating traffic. hahaha

Oh yeah related to Yamal, in this match, he lost possession 21 times to Portugal which also made this one of the hot news about Spain's defeat.

Morata has not been in great shape since leaving Atletico Madrid to AC Milan, and then joining Galatasaray in the same season as they didn't see the best from him. The Spain manager realizes that Morata is not in his best form, yet he puts him in the second extra time. I don't see why Morata should be part of the game because he did not have what it takes to save Spain when they were drawing. The manager thought he would be their hero during the penalty shootout, but he disappointed them.

I think that Morata still gets called up for the national team simply because there are no Spanish striker, they are all offensive wings and offensive midfielders. Back in the days Spain had exceptional strikers such as Raul, Morientes, Villa, and Torres but after they adopted Guardiola's style and they started playing with the "falso nueve" they stopped producing great strikers. Morata is a good player, I really liked him when he used to play for Juventus, but he's nowhere near to Torres' or Villa's level. And Morata is the only one. They had Joselu for a short time. Now maybe Samu Aghehowa could become a good player but he's still young.

[Sandra_hakeem]

The hype doesn't help the team in any way... I don't know what the fate of the Golden boy, lamine yamal will be in the few years to come, but the little efforts from him is enough to show how consistency meets opportunity at the right time.

While this was just a friendly competition (so I would term it to be), I don't think it's too much of a deal that they lost the cup... Although they won the Euros last year as the only international trophy this season, the club Copa del Ray and Supercopa de Espana is enough to fill the cabinets of the 17 year-old.
I never thought I'd see morata with such a blue face on the pitch after he lost the final penalty for Spain.

However, calling Morata as a subs is a dumbest decision for sure. I knew how him would miss the penalty, and not even worthy to call him back. His performance has always been inconsistent, and often played badly. Time to search another striker to replace his position in the national squad.
Not deny how good him in the past, but his era has passed. They have to get another striker that can perform better when they participate in the WC.

Defending him to play in the WC is just a big mistake. They have so many potential striker, and that's easy to find one that has better quality than him.

Samu is not a striker on his own. He is a player who plays with the wings. Alvaro Morata is a player I like, but I have to admit that I think the same way. In the past, Spain would definitely have an elite striker. We haven't seen that lately. Real Madrid is also having the same problem. They didn't have a good striker until they got Mbappé. Right now, Spain lacks a Lewandowski-style or Haaland-style finishing striker. If they had such a player, Spain would win all the world cups every year anyway.

It was a very bad match for Yamal. However, the one who stopped him was the magnificent play of the Portuguese defender Nuno Mendes. Spain tied the match and could not score in extra time. They were also unlucky to be eliminated in the penalties and left the championship to Portugal. I thought Yamal would play great in this match but I was wrong. The Portuguese defender who stopped him played really great. He also scored and assisted, so he played a very good match. He deserved to be the hero of the match.

Ronaldo, fine wine and looks like a super human with his activities on the field at his age. Played against Croatia scored, played against Poland scored, played against Denmark scored, played against Germany scored the winning goal and just few days ago, played against Spain and scored to tie the game 2 - 2. Yeah he wasn't the centre of attention in the but but he played his part perfectly well by delivering for his country just as every member of the team too.

I have always known Cristiano Ronaldo as a great player and a goal machine, but it surprises me how Cristiano Ronaldo is still maintaining his performance and scoring goals for both his club and his country at his age. Cristiano Ronaldo played a significant role for Portugal in the just-concluded Nations League competition, and his goal helped Portugal beat Spain in the final. Maybe in your own eyes Cristiano Ronaldo wasn't the center of attention, but I want to let you know that Cristiano Ronaldo was the center of attention because some Spain players made a comment that they are happy to share the same field with Cristiano Ronaldo, and they will try and stop Cristiano Ronaldo from winning the Nations League trophy.

Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't surprise me anymore, he really embodies the spirit of sacrifice, always giving your best and getting the result, this is Ronaldo, and he is also a good example for many young people who want to be at the top and succeed in a sport, he is simply the best footballer and sportsman ever.

Honestly he has live off as just a player but rather his displays is more like an accumulated lifestyle in what he knows how to do best, I also do respect him so much, he is skillful, he has agility and stamina to withstand pressure, he is passionate about what he does, he has speed and funny enough how most persons are still surprised at his composure yeah I see he makes it necessary to to always keeping fit through exercises which most of his mates in football must have not doing anymore, he is still on fire and very much willing to fulfill his destiny.

What Cristiano Ronaldo has done and achieved in his professional football career, I totally agree with you that Cristiano Ronaldo is a good example for so many young players that are coming up, and these young players also want to follow Cristiano Ronaldo's footsteps so that they can achieve success in their professional football careers.

Cristiano Ronaldo is truly a magnificent player, no one can deny that. Even at the age of 40, he is still playing at a high level in terms of performance. He has been at the highest levels for 22 years in his wonderful career that started at the age of 18. He also scored a very important goal for Portugal in this cup. Despite being 40, he showed us that he was not put in the team just by looking at his past. He showed his opportunism in the goal he scored and made good use of the defense's mistake. He played a game that deserved this cup. I am sure everyone on the field felt lucky to be on the same field with him. It must have been a great experience to see him up close. If I remember correctly, Nico Williams swapped jerseys with him at the end of the first half.

He's the richest football player in history but winning's more important to Cristiano Ronaldo. He was nervous in the penalty's he couldn't watch he'd closed his eyes. Cristiano cried when Portugal won because winning's more important than money & publicity.

For Cristiano Ronaldo, money is no longer important because he has made incredible money. He has made great money not only from football but also from sponsorships and advertisements. That is why he has become someone who no longer cares about money. All he wants to achieve is success and he did not want to lose the final for this. He was very upset when he was injured and was very angry when he left the match. This ambition showed his desire to stay on the field for 120 minutes. In the end, Portugal won and Cristiano Ronaldo reached the cup with tears of joy. This shows how much he is still addicted to success despite being 40 years old.

You still sound like a novice to the game and it's official that you know nothing about the game. This will be the last time I will be replying you because I'm wasting my precious time on someone who doesn't know what his arguing about. You claim if club football is active no one cares about the competition. You should focus more on cricket maybe you will understand that sports. Do you know what's called international break? I'm sure you haven't heard of it before. Did you watch the Nations league Quarter finals between Netherland Vs Spain and Croatia Vs France? Go and check the line up of those games and see the players there yourself the first leg was played 20th March 2025 and he return leg 23rd March 2025, was club football not active by then? Or did the season suddenly end in March? Ginand focus on cricket and leave football alone because you know nothing about it.

Aww, is another Stake signature participant feeling the heat? Come on man if you can't even argue and banter about football and get so butthurt you really need to find another sport. Here on forum I have good friends we diss each other all the time and nobody gets butthurt.

All you guys from so active in GAMBLING sub but very few of you actually show betslips and gambling proof, you don't participate in the paid forum pools and yet calling out the gambler regulars, come on stop being snowflakes just because we disagree you don't need to cry.

OK If I say you are right and I am wrong, Nations League is prestigious, will you not get so angry?

BTW come and join our gambling pools, you know, because this is the gambling discussion forum

Cristiano Ronaldo has achieved a lot in football, but he is eager for more, it means a lot for him to win a trophy with the national team when he doesn't have much time left in football, the man is 40 years old, and everyone is still surprised that he is still wanting to win. He was so afraid during the penalty shootout that he couldn't watch it because I remembered the previous time they were knocked out of the Euro during a penalty shootout where Jao Felix missed against France, which may got him worried this time.

However, players like Cristiano Ronaldo do not play football for money, instead, they enjoy the time they have left since they do not have much of it. If he's interested in winning more European trophies, I believe he would have signed for another club when many teams offered him a contract to join so that he could play in the Club World Cup. However, that doesn't mean much to him and he decided to extend his contract with Al Nassr, I hope to see him in the next World Cup.

[Mayor of ogba]

Checking the game statistics, Portugal doesn't deserve to win the finals. But they could curtail the aggressive attacks of Spain and maximise the few chances created. 

Portugal deserved the win. They were getting outplayed by Spain in the first half, but they were all over Spain in the second half. Happy to see how Lamine pocketed by Mendes. 
The thing that makes Spain lose the game was their subs. It's all La De Fuente's responsibility. 

Again, Spain had so much hype going into the game. They, the media and most Barcelona fans all thought Spain was going to win the trophy and I'm glad it ended the way it is. At least this lost saved us from noise pollution. Again if Spain had won, then Yamal would have been all over the media with different tags saying his this and his that, then they will make him the number one contender for the Balloon d'Or.

I'm a Cristiano Ronaldo fan, and I thought Spain was going to beat Portugal in the final because Spain was the favorite while Portugal was the underdog, so it's not only Barcelona fans that thought Spain was going to beat Portugal in the Nations League final. I was happy with the performance Portugal displayed against Spain to deny Spain victory in the final even when Spain took the lead twice against Portugal.

It wouldn't be right to say he's the best athlete, but it would be right to say he's the best football player. Cristiano Ronaldo really came this far as a result of great determination and great effort, of course we can't deny his innate talent. However, Messi is a natural talent, he has an innate talent, but Cristiano Ronaldo is a player who has been able to improve his existing talent with extra work. I think this shows how hard-working he is.

[pusaka]

I rarely see him nervous when facing a very decisive situation, because usually he is the player who stands to execute the decisive kick. Indeed, he can't hide the tension anymore when his age is no longer easy like now.

Maybe what makes it like that is because he is not the decider, so he depends on his teammates. We know his mentality as a player is very big, he can change the pressure on himself into a motivation that finally makes him able to do something very extraordinary. 40 years old, but he can still give something very meaningful to his country.

With the good performance of Cristiano Ronaldo against strong countries at the age of 40, it shows that Cristiano Ronaldo is the best athlete in the world right now. If you disagree with what giorgione said about Cristiano Ronaldo, I clearly understand because it seems you are a Messi fan, and there is no way Messi fans will accept that Cristiano Ronaldo is the best athlete in the world.

I have seen this idea many times and it is true. If we imagine that Spain would win the League of Nations, we would drown in Yamal PR. He's already annoying, but it would be worse. Thank God Portugal made him humble and Mendes completely destroyed his image. I don't wish him any harm, but he should be more modest, for now the successes of Spain and Barcelona support him and not the other way around. By the way, against the backdrop of this PR, it is once again clear how absurd this award is - Mendes, Vitinha and many other footballers who had an ideal season are not even considered as contenders.
