UEFA Nations League: 5 top games to look forward to

#1 Spain versus England (Group A4)

The return leg promises even more excitement

If the first leg was anything to go by, the second leg tie between these sides promises some epic football. Fresh from a first World Cup semifinal since 1990, England’s Three Lions were confident of getting a good result against the Spaniards.

Gareth Southgate and Luis Enrique had named strong teams. In the end, the guile of La Furia Roja won over the fury and power of the English. This game will be coming after the equally decisive Croatia versus England tie. Southgate is well aware of what is at stake. A win in Spain will be vital if England is to make use of the UEFA Nations League as the quick qualification route to the 2020 European Championship.

Harry Kane, Raheem Sterling and the rest of the big hitters are available for this must-win encounter. New kids James Maddison, Jadon Sancho may not get a look-in depending on how things go.

Paco Alcacer is back to his best on loan at Borussia Dortmund and has been recalled to the Spanish fold. Dani Ceballos, Marco Asensio, Rodrigo Moreno, Rodri all shone brightly in the first two UEFA Nations League games. They are all in the side to face the English.

The result from the Croatia versus England match will obviously have an effect on what happens at the Estadio Benito Villamarin on 15/10/2018. Whatever happens, it promises excitement galore.
