Nations League: Germany thrashed Italy and England suffered a very tough defeat at home

Against the current European champion, Germany achieved a victory that will give confidence to Hansi Flick’s team ahead of the World Cup in Qatar.

Joshua Kimmich (10), Ilkay Gündogan (45+4 penalties), Thomas Müller (51) and Timo Werner (68, 69) they were the authors of the goals of the Mannschaft, who did not yet know victory in group A3 of the League of Nations (draws against Italy, England and Hungary).

This defeat for the Azzurri is however not a big surprise. He joins the process of rebuilding the team led by Robert Manciniafter the trauma of not qualifying for the World Cup in Qatar.

The Azzurra’s goals were scored by Degnand Gnonto (78) and Alessandro Bastoni (94).

The 5-2 equals the biggest win of Germany about Italy, which took place at the Berlin Olympics in 1939.

The 4-0 thrashing of Hungary in England, recalling the legendary 6-3 that the team led by Ferenc Puskas endorsed the English at Wembley in 1953.

midfielder Roland Sallai (16.70), the side Zsolt Nagy (80) and midfielder Daniel Gazdag (89) signed the goals for the Central European team.

We have to go back to a 5-1 conceded against Scotland in 1928 to find a trace of such a massive defeat at the home of the Three Lions.

England They are last in their bracket with 2 points from four games, behind the Magyars (7 points), Germany (6 points) and Italy (5 points).

The English may even start to worry about staying in League A, when they still have to visit Italy on September 23 and host Germany on September 26.

Group A4 seems to have decided on a duel between Holland and Belgium.

The Oranje beat Wales 3-2 with an injury-time goal from Memphis Depay from the penalty spot (90+3) to reach 10 points, three more than Belgium, who with a solitary goal from Michy Batshuayi took the three points of his visit to Poland.

In September, the Netherlands will visit Poland and Belgium will host Wales on the penultimate day, before meeting in a direct duel three days later (on the 25th) on Dutch soil.
