About me:
Software engineer, happily unmarried and non-religious. You won't find me on Twitter or other so called social media. Dutchman, joined the blog in March 2018.
I assume Portugal will max out their nations league points....how will England, Switzerland and the Netherlands look after today?
ReplyDeleteEngland -10 pts 1637
ReplyDeletePortugal +24 pts 1631 (so not 1626 !)
Switzerland -11 pts 1593
Betherlands +3 pts 1557
Answering your question I just discovered that I will have to improve my software regarding how it handles scheduled matches where not both teams are known beforehand (like the Nations League final and 3rd place play-off).
"Betherlands"
DeleteDid the Netherlands and Belgium reunite? Betherlands sounds better than the Benelux, tbf, and we're brethren after all. A shame about the NL. We'll see you at the EC.
Just a typo with an unexpected 'deeper meaning' :)
