UEFA NATIONS LEAGUE 2024-2025

With memories of the golden years (80's) of the albanian football still fresh on her mind, Albania is now attempting to recreate its strong football legacy. As young players start making their names abroad, the future is looking bright for Albanian football!

Yes Spain looks good and is a true contender. But you played their B team. Can't get a bigger break than that.

Croatia is on a complete downfall now that their golden generation (Modric, Brozo, Perisic) is old and washed up. This is a reality check for them on what the future will look like. They will be like other Balkan nations like Serbia. Qualifying occasionally but not doing anything in the tournaments. They have no attacking potential at all. I don't see how they are better than a country like Turkey right now.

This is one of the worst Italian generations ever. They have no attacking threat besides a fresh off ACL surgery Chiesa who had an inconsistent season. Scamacca is their #9 !! A west ham flop..

Watch the Swiss eliminate the Italians.
This. Not only is this Croatia's weakest team in 10 years they also inserted some awful lineup choices against Albania by playing Majer and Kramaric as wingers with a slow midfield of Kovacic, Brozovic and Modric. They were so slow they made Albania look like a fast team despite having a defensive midfield trio and Asani/Manaj starting. That Croatia team isn't any better than a team like Slovakia, Ukraine or Czech.

And this is probably one of the weakest italian teams ever, the 2016 team was weak but that team was coached by Conte who made them super competitive.
Lol, didn't Croatia beat and dominate Portugal a couple of weeks ago in a friendly? I think you're underrating them. They created more chances than Albania and Italy combined against Spain. Georgia, Slovenia and Hungary aren't stronger than Albania, they just got lucky groups.

Hindsight will be useful here. Let's see how Italy performs against Switzerland, and how Spain does in the tournament.

If they both do well, maybe we're stronger than we think.
