Wales suffered back-to-back defeats in the UEFA Nations League, losing to Poland and the Netherlands by similar margins, 1-2, with the deciding goals coming late in both the matches. And a miffed Bale even asked his teammates to learn how to use "dark arts". Meaning, Rob Page’s men need to do whatever it takes to stop conceding late winners. After all, they are going to the World Cup.
For Belgium, it was a chastening start to the UEFA Nations League campaign. The Red Devils, the highest-ranked team in the continent, looked awfully short of match practice in the opener against the Netherlands, losing 1-4. But Roberto Martinez's side showed their class in the next game by thrashing Poland 6-1 with as many as five different goal-scorers.
As thing stand now, the Netherlands lead the table with two wins in two, while Belgium are second, followed by Poland and Wales. So far, this group has produced results with 19 goals in four games. Expect another goal-fest.
