If anyone interested I’m doing a prediction comp in the competition corner thread.

What a * ball that was from Cambiaso man. 2-0 Italy.
-
Italy down to 10 men and Belgium get one back, some finish. Daft challenge Pellegrini.

It's scary to think how much you'd need to pay for that Anthony Gordon, he's absolute *, wouldn't even have him as backup for Celtic, he's that bad he wouldn't even get in that * huns team.

I hope they still give it to him..
They've got good player but the next batch after your Kanes, centra halves, Walkers with Trent, lack of deoth in the centre mid positions as most of them are 10 types. No real top class keepers....I think they've missed their real spell where they've had * easy runs and other nations have been pish..neilly1987 and JC Anton like this. -

This competition is that unpopular, that dismissed and uncared for, I’ve tried to look for highlights for Nations League games. England’s is on ITVs Youtube, found France and thats it. Can’t find any others.
Any other ‘competition’ highlights are up on any game possible on YouTube within a half hour at the latest. -
I long for the old days when you could watch all the highlights in one place that night, on itv or bbc

France v Warmonger IDFC
on Thursday could be a bit heated if the away fans don’t follow the advice to stay away…
Belgium refused to host the last one….
Just get them out of. uefa…
Make them play nicely with the neighbours in the appropriate federation. -
No wonder players are starting to speak out about the amount of games they are playing.
Really wish breaks like this were scrapped altogether -

I think players want international football, many of them anyway. It does need to be cut though. Nations league could be cut and that's 6 games plus play offs cut, with teams playing 16-20 games over 2 seasons. Start qualifying earlier so you can easily cut 2 International breaks a season.
FIFA and UEFA care about money, and more so than player welfare. As shown by the club world Cup.
