Redcanuck 175 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Should be a hell of a play offs, even better if the Netherlands drop into them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netherlands group is a three way race. Norway turkey also in the mix. With Netherlands playing Norway in the final match. If haaland is playing and has a game for the ages and a turkey win, Netherlands could miss out entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italy tied games (after 90) in the euros vs Spain and England and even Austria yes they had a great game v Swiss in the group stage. perhaps the squad is running low playing high quality and tempo for a while coupled with domestic competitions. keep in mind juventus is mid table in the serie A. Usually a large crop of national players come from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually a large crop of national players come from there. They were very good against Belgium and turkey as well. Personally I think teams are mentally and physically pushed to their limits to win trophies. Once they have won one I think they don't have the mental energy to play at the same level. They are maybe playing at 95% which might not sound like much less but is enough to make a huge difference. Unless you have ridiculous quality like Spain on 2008 to 2012 it's very hard to win multiple trophies at international level I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
