The Nations League semi-finals begin Wednesday with Germany vs. Portugal, followed by Spain vs. France on Thursday. The winners face off Sunday in Munich. Though not as prestigious as the World Cup or Euros, the tournament has been a springboard to success—France and Spain used past wins to fuel deeper runs. Germany, seeking their first title, will see Joshua Kimmich earn his 100th cap. Injuries hit all four teams, but players like Portugal’s Ruben Neves insist: “Tiredness takes a back seat — we’re here to win.”
