Nations League live: Netherlands v Germany and Portugal v Wales

The Guardian's live blog provided updates on Thursday night's Uefa Nations League matches, including Netherlands v Germany and Portugal v Wales, on 24 September 2026.

The live blog invited readers to contact Daniel by email and follow on BlueSky. It reported that Robert Earnshaw was in the BBC studio wearing the same rig he had on Sky that morning and noted, "The thing with red and blue is you leave yourself open to accusations of dressing like Mario."

The live blog said: "I can’t say I love the look of Xavi’s Netherlands outfit. The front three might be a handful, but there’s a severe lack of quality in midfield and the centre of defence is short of pace. For a coach used to Barcelona quality and principles, this is a tough gig."
