    Robben with two goals already, giving us some hope.

    That should have extended Kovac's stay for a bit, game vs Dortmund and now this show how mentality seems to be the real issue, the old guys can still play elite football when they focus.

    Mah fantasy page suggests he was buried deep down under the snow.

    Damn he looks super dope on tape, such creativity in 1on1s. It's a miracle he's no Brazilian.

    I dont watch PL U21 teams and that is the only way to have watched this guy consistently.

    Chelsea have a habit of hoarding talent and then loaning and selling them.

    And with their recent revolving door of managers, with the managers feeling the pressure for their jobs, they are not going to risk developing youngsters.

    Very strange how Sane is playing well again at City while not doing much with the National team.

    Heavily improved in recent DFB performances, seems he's getting his act together.

    That was awesome, and all of it was true.

    Well, didn't take long for a chance to see the Dutch again @arno_ed
    Just glad we landed in a five team group and hence avoid at least one pointless matchup. Also no unnecessary long travels. Rest of the draw is meh. The two winners of each group are pretty much determined from the start.

    Looks like Belgium national team is going to travel almost all over europe for very much pre determined games.
    I hope they'll give some of the youngsters playing time in the easiest games.

    True, you got exactly the group I didn't want for Germany. Non-competitive (San Marino, Kazhakstan, Cyprus) and long travels (Kazhakstan, Russia). At least the Scottish are good for a great atmosphere in both games.

    Yep, top 2 earn a guaranteed spot. Maybe you guys win the Nations League and then fail to qualify for the Euro :D;)

    We'll have to wait for the games schedule, it might be really brutal in terms of weather and distance.

    I don't know about the atmosphere in the games vs Scotland and personally from all of those places Cyprus would be my favourite place to go.

    Final matchday of CL group stage tomorrow. Keep an eye on Group C: Napoli (9), PSG (8), Liverpool (6). One of them will be eliminated, but each one can still win the group.
