The Six Most Disappointing Teams in the UEFA Nations League So Far

June 21, 2022 / by Andrew / Leave a Comment

The UEFA Nations League is an exciting competition to replace the European international friendlies in the soccer calendar year. It is an opportunity for teams to enjoy competitive games before the next UEFA Euro tournaments. They can also increase their trophy count with this competition.

The tournament is available for players that want to place bets on the various games, just like when you want to engage in esports betting. You can simply find the right betting sites to get started. However, you must follow the competition to know what teams to back in your bet before the next round of games.

Some of the top teams have been disappointing since the start of the competition. This might be because of the lesser attention put towards the competition as they prepare for the FIFA World Cup. However, these teams are usually top picks when it comes to betting. So, let’s look at the top six most disappointing teams in the UEFA Nations League competition.

England

Last year’s UEFA Euro Championship runners-up and the FIFA World Cup Semi-Finalist is one of the most exciting teams leading up to the UEFA Nations League competition. As we prepared for the tournament to start, England was among the leading teams to win the competition. However, they’ve been completely underwhelming.

The team didn’t win a single game in the four matches played this month. They drew two and lost two. The first game of the competition was against Hungary, the seemingly least team in the group, but they ended up beating England 1-0. After that, a late-minute penalty helped England get a draw against Germany.

Later, there was nothing to separate England and Italy as the two teams played a 0-0 draw. In the last game against Hungary, the team was completely shattered, and they lost 4-0 at home, marking their heaviest home defeat in 100 years. Undoubtedly, they need to improve before the world cup if they will do anything significant in Qatar.

Italy

The European Champions have been a shadow since they won the Euros. Italy has been struggling to win games for a while now, and we continue to see them find form. But we could conclude that this is down to injuries that have plagued Robert Mancini’s group since the turn of the year.

It has been woes upon woes in 2022. First, the team lost to Macedonia so they couldn’t make it to FIFA World Cup in Qatar. After that, they lost the Finalissima against Argentina, losing a chance to win a trophy this year. Finally, with the Nations League, they’ve only won one from the last four games.

As a result, they’ve been disappointing since the start of the year, and we hope to see a better Italian squad when the Nations League resumes in September. Since they won’t be playing in the World Cup, the Nations League is their last chance to win a trophy before the 2024 Euro competition.

France

The World Cup champions, France, have been underwhelming since the start of the Nations League. And like England, they’ve not won any games in the UEFA Nations League tournament. They’ve had two draws and two losses, setting them up for relegation from Group A1.

If they don’t come up with a better plan for the next two games, the team will be relegated, and as a result, they won’t have the chance to win the Nations League next year. Therefore, they must find a way to play better and keep clean sheets. Also, it is not a good look since the World cup is just around the corner.

Belgium

Overall the Belgium golden generation has been underwhelming. We expected them to win at least one trophy as a group, but they’ve only come close once, and that was the 2018 FIFA World Cup, where they narrowly lost to France in the Semi-Finals, and they picked up the 3rd place medal after defeating England in the bronze match.

Although they did win two games in the Nations League, the team hasn’t lived up to their hype, and they can miss out on winning the competition if they don’t win their next two games. They would need to beat Netherland and Wales to get the number spot, which is the only way they make it into the knockout phase.

Switzerland

Switzerland is an exciting country, and we know how good they can get on their peak day. We’ve seen them win multiple games that they were underdogs, but in the UEFA Nations League, they’ve been underwhelming. Although they did win one game, they’ve lost three matches.

They lost the first three matches they played in the Nations League and only won their last game against Portugal. If they don’t get a win in the next two games against the Czech Republic and Switzerland in September, they will be demoted to the lower divisions of the competition. So, they need to get better fast.
