Julian Nagelsmann definitely change a lot for Germany, from going 4 games winless in 2023 under Flick to only 1 defeat against Spain is really impressive, winning against really tough teams like France and others and topping groups tournament. Looking forward to see them have a lot of success in the following years❤

San Marino in 2024:
Won 2 matches and Drew 2 matches in their 10 matches played this year
Won their Group in League D and got promoted to League C
Scored more than 1 goal in one match against Lichtenstein (3-1), one of their biggest wins of all time
Scored more than 2 goals against all of their opponents overall in a calendar year (7 goals)
Won 2 matches against the same opponent
In the UEFA Nations League, they had a stat line of 2 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss, one of their best stat lines in a competitive competition ever.
This was San Marino’s year 🔥

I think Spain is the best, Germany is very good right now too, looks like you agree... Julian Brandt is such an underrated player imo he's one of the best midfielders playing right now,

[domiiinik]

Goalkeeper is the smallest problem of Polish team, we always had amazing goalkeepers like Dudek, Fabiański, Szczęsny, Boruc or Młynarczyk, but now we also have 3 amazing ones (of course the number one is Skorupski from Bologna, but also Bułka from Nice and Grabara from Wolfsburg who is currently refusing to represent Poland because he doesn't want to be a reserve goalie)
Defense is the real biggest problem, because we basically have 3 defenders that in theory guarantee a certain level, but in reality Kiwior (Arsenal) always has to fuck up something when he's playing for national team, Piątkowski (Red Bull Salzburg) is made of glass and often injured and Bochniewicz (Heerenveen) isn't even called up to play for some reason despite being probably our best defender so we live in pain
There are also Walukiewicz (Torino), Bednarek (Southampton), Salamon (Lech Poznań) and Dawidowicz (Hellas Verona) but they are usually let downs in national team despite playing good in clubs
Left and right backs (or wingbacks in our current setup) are not ideal too :
on the left side we have Zalewski (Roma) who was probably best player of this year in Polish team, but he doesn't get playtime in his club and Puchacz (Holstein Kiel) who is just there because we don't have anyone better as backup
on the right side we have Frankowski (Lens) who is the opposite of Zalewski - amazing in club, garbage in national team, there is also Kamiński (Wolfsburg) who is mid and Matty Cash (Aston Villa) who isn't called up because he doesn't speak Polish despite being in the team for over 3 years now
With Lewandowski playing probably his last big tournament in 2026 (if we qualify) it's not looking good for this team, unless some miracle happens

[lucianburlacu]

As a Romanian and I proud of my country. All of pleople support him, at every match of national team stadium is full, and players plays with courage and pasion. In 2025 Romania will finish WC qualify first place and in 2026 will see România at World Cup after a break of 28 years. Hai Romania🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴

ENGAGED AND STILL DROPPING BANGER VIDEOS! can't wait to watch this one

[xaminjarraya]

nah, the problem with Bosnia is, that they are building a new squad existing of new and young talents. Different generation. They need time playing together and building chemistry AND CAN go to amusement parks!

[JimMCFC]

I remember when I watched the one you made in 2021, man how time flies

[michaelbekos]

Greece if they won against Georgia they could have been in the A tier. However they couldn’t have Jovanovic as coach so hopefully with Jovanovic Greece next year can be at A tier.

[balukapi]

Hungary at D = is harsh……they haven’t done anything wrong or play below their ranking expectations they lost to teams they were expected to lose, Germany, Switzerland and Holland and beat everyone they were expected to beat.
Yes they lost to Ireland but they also drew with Germany and Holland as well…. so to me thats a B or C year.
Just because they had an insane 2023 thats not to be looked at as the norm, rather just an S year.

[teddyshowtaylor]

It's been an excellent year for northern Ireland promoted to league B even tho we didn't make it to euros yes I think we have a good chance to possibly make it to world cup Slovakia are very tough but we will put up strong fight

[zephyrod]

“Oh yeah, albania was expected to not really do anything in their euros group, but actually looked somewhat competitive. Tough group in the nations league, maybe slight underperformance there”

Right so how on earth does an overperformance and a slight underperformance get them to D tier? That sounds like a B tier kinda year to me

[Hawkman-ki]

I will say Italy are not too bad. They only lost the group to France due to goal difference

[JinZanmato]

First year in many years I am actually somewhat satisfied with the performance of Norway. Even willing to forget their absolutely stinker away against Austria. But it is way to early to have any confident in that national team as of now. 😆

[lumrrahmani]

putting albania, belgium, bulgaria and hungary at d is a crime

[Fico]

9:51 the reason why we were out the Euros is because DALIĆ DIDN'T CALLED REPLACEMENT FOR BROZOVIĆ FOR LAST 20-30 MINUTES, did you know what are his replacements, Nikola Vlašić, Mario Pašalić and Lovro Majer which don't play CDM, LUCKILY Mario Pašalić started playing that in Atalanta, but he could CALLED JOSIP MIŠIĆ OR KRISTIJAN JAKIĆ OR NIKOLA MORO BUT NONONONONONONO HE IS GIVING CHANCE TO THE PLAYERS WITH THE CREDITS FROM THE PAST

[bogdanferu]

Good list... the only side I didnt quite agree was San Marino in A tier... yeah, they defenetly had the best year in their entire history and I am happy for them, but at the end of thw day, they only faced D tier oponents in their nations league group... they topped their group, I'll give them that, but overall, its just 2 wins and 1 draw... and they are still ranked last in fifa rankings... A tier I think was a bit to generous... I would have put them at B (but even then, at the bottom of B, almost a C)... wich would have also been a massive progress for them... if we were ro count the expectations, then yes, they could be ranked as S tier... but, similar to Russia, who only played friendlies and had an insane GA, they have to be regarded by also the oposition they faced... and because of that, I would put San Marino at lower B or top C...

[raimbekgo]

Kazakh players are playing very well, it’s just that this year has not been the same for us, the coach has changed, the President of football has changed, the stadium was closed, in short, very unlucky!
