They should really be using average points per game rather than just discounting bottom team in each group. Some stroke of luck, Russia getting banhammered and Iceland reverting to type. Israel will get humped in League A. Likely three of the same teams in the League B play-offs as when we won League C, BTW. Pity Norway and Serbia got drawn together and we can't make it a perfect reunion. Edit: BTW, FTFY!

Personally, I’d be astounded if we finish above Ukraine. We will see how it goes. How astounded are ye? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re comfortably the best team in it and will surely win it at a canter if they can get their team on the pitch for the remaining three games. Less of a canter and more of a can't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christophe Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Is the NL draw seeded. i.e one from the top 4, one from 5-8 etc. Or can we get Israel again? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 It's seeded exactly how you described. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2426255 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 (edited) Apparently we were the best pressing team in the Nations League according to Fotmob. I was quite surprised when I saw this stat. The home game against Armenia did skew did the data considerably counting for around a third of the statistic but nevertheless it's interesting especially considering how many great chances and goals it provided. Also interesting is that when we came to play Armenia in the return match in Yerevan they hardly ever played out from the back so they obviously learned their lesson and having watched Cyprus beat Israel in November I don't think we will see them give many gifts as they didn't play out from back mostly kicking long. I included a video of 60 examples of us winning the ball back in the final third but there were over 120 and it really depends how you categorise - for example: Armenia often just passed the ball to our attackers at Hampden under little pressure.
