He didn't get off to the start he'd hoped for

Jurgen Klopp, who was practically a god at Liverpool but surprisingly stepped down from his managerial role only to return two years later, has yet to secure a win in his first two matches in charge of the German national team. Whilst the single point earned away against the Netherlands is by no means a bad result for Klopp, who is seeking to create a broad pool of options by trialling a large number of new players, the home defeat to Greece looks like a failure regardless of the line-up fielded. The 'Panzers', who will be keen to put this poor run behind them by at least securing a win in the return fixture against Greece away from home, could face the threat of relegation should they lose this match as well. The German national team were relegated to League B from the group in which they competed against France and the Netherlands during the 2018-19 season, but subsequently continued to play in the top tier thanks to a change in the competition format. If the 'Panzers' are relegated to League B - following England's relegation from League A in 2022-23 and subsequent return in 2024-25 - this could be the most sensational Nations League story yet.

A quarter-final is a possibility for Greece

Greece, who failed to qualify for the last World Cup and did not even reach the play-offs, have drawn attention by starting the Nations League with two away wins, even though simply remaining in League A - where they are drawn against Germany, the Netherlands and Serbia - would be considered a major achievement.
