For me, that is a positive.”The Nations League finals get under way on Wednesday evening with Portugal and Switzerland facing off in the first semi-final; the Netherlands and England clash a day later to determine the second finalist.Both the third-place play-off and final take place on Sunday – and talkSPORT brings you full commentary of all four matches from the first ever Nations League finals tournament.
