    I suppose there was some excitement in the Croatia Scotland group, but
    the reality is it was as bad as club football.  Worst Nationsliga ever!

    On the contrary, it was nerve-wrecking. To get Austria into Pot 1 for
    the World Cup qualifiers it was necessary for neither of Serbia and
    Scotland to qualify for the Nations League quarterfinals, and both sets
    of matches went down to the wire.

    All's well that ends well though, we do say thank you to Jesper's lads.

    Does anyone know why Serbia didn't play this hugely decisive match in Belgrade instead of a small city in the middle of nowhere?

    If results as they are right now stand (which I expect they won't),
    Wales and Czechia would be promoted, and Ukraine and Turkey would join
    Austria and Greece in a fairly formidable groups of League B runners-up
    to take on the likes of Scotland, Belgium, Hungary and Serbia.


    Ciao,

    Turkei throwing away promotion to the A-liga against the last place
    team-though like with everything else in these Nationsligas, there is
    always some other way of advancing. So maybe the 2nd place teams do
    have a play off of some sort?

    Hungaria v Germania ends 1-1 with an added time PK for Hungaria. Once
    again, one of theses terrible English hand ball calls. Robin Koch is
    pulling his arm into his body and turning his body away from the ball
    that was kicked about a metre away from him, but it still hits his arm.
    so this English ref or whatever he is gives the PK. These English hand
    ball calls are making me crazy. There really is no understanding by the VARobots or the humans.

    So that is it for UEFA Nationsliga. Nobody really knows how the next
    rounds work, but as far as I know, everyone gets promoted or at least
    gets a chance to get promoted.

    Canada play tonight vs Suriname, but Brazil v Uruguay is on at the same
    time and is probably the better watch. later in the night Mexico will
    try to come back from 2-0 down vs Honduras.
