I prefer Nations League to World/Euro qualifying as the teams are evenly matched. And for some reason Ireland seem to keep playing their Celtic cousins (Wales/Scotland) which makes for some good nights out. Better than playing Gibraltar.Gunner Rob wrote: ↑Tue May 24, 2022 2:44 pmThe Nations league is the biggest ever waste of time ever invented.
That and the womens euro thing this summer are 2 events I certainly won’t be watching.

The players should be on their holidays now to get them fresh for the next season which will be the longest ever.
There are even a couple of Nations League matches in September which is madness. They are already trying to cram the Euro games into a smaller ever number of weeks. The number of injuries next season will be off the scale.
Re: UEFA Nations League
Waste of time this competition. Uefa greed and bleeding the punters dry. Pointless waste of a footballer's energy.
Re: UEFA Nations League
Surely better than the even more meaningless friendlies they used to block up the calendar with though? I'd rather see England playing Germany in a match with something at stake than some poxy friendly with the likes of Australia as the FA used to do
Re: UEFA Nations League
No need for international friendlies at the end of the season either. World Cup and continental tournaments are enough. The Nation's league is just an ESL for European teams but run by Uefa, which is a greedy corrupt organisation. I'd be onboard with a World International league, Gibraltar Vs San Marino just doesn't cut it with me.

Re: UEFA Nations League
Dutch 4-0 up against Belgium. How in hell did Martinez ever get that gig?? From getting Wigan relegated to managing probably the greatest generation ever, of Belgium players......and failure has followed failure, yet he remains.

I know it's the under 23 team but watch this . The kid scores goals and we have to find a place for him.

He's better than Odegaard, more direct, score goals, doesn't disappear when the going gets tough. He is quality player, worth keeping hold of and playing more regularly.A11M11 wrote: ↑Sat Jun 04, 2022 9:02 amI know it's the under 23 team but watch this .
