Players are fucked. Pointless games I'm afraid. Ahead of a fucking pantomime in the desert.

Ridiculous competition. When are these payers supposed to be resting? The whole thing needs scrapping. Either that, or keep it and allow the best countries automatic qualification to the major tournaments.

For me, they've sucked the life out of it. I honestly didn't know England were playing last night until it came on in the pub. |

I’m sure the players don’t either if they were honest. It’s a packed schedule and they should be resting. |

It’s a packed schedule and they should be resting. The plan for the Nation's League was to take away the monotonous friendlies and replace them with more competitive games. I can see the method behind the madness, but ultimately, I couldn't give a toss. |

If there’s a thread on motor racing or darts etc I don’t open it as I leave those who have an interest in it to discuss it and don’t pollute it
Nobody gives a fuck if you aren’t interested and wearing it like a badge just steer clear of it and leave those interested in it to discuss it

The backwards, sideways and slow malaise seems to be a common ingredient of football nowadays. We only upped the tempo (slightly) after they had scored. If we had upped the tempo from the beginning we may have been comfortable by the time they got their slice of good fortune.

First 20 minutes we did move it quite well and pressed, just seemed to fade quickly. |

Understandable that they are tired and their heads aren't in the game, they do deserve a rest and a bit of time to relax and recuperate.
Silly scheduling of games really.
Same applies to Germany as well.

I saw Pickford & Maguire out on the lash in Marbella on 23 May - now they’re back playing these games. Pointless friendlies that we clearly don’t take seriously

think the idea is to narrow down the possibilities. better to play Italy, Germany and Hungary at a competitive level that friendlies. You need a squad in case of injuries and this is the opportunity to see who fits into the system.

Just listened to the Gazza Southgate pre-match interview.
Definitely concerned that folks will have a few too many lager shandies and start singing that '2 world wars and 1 world cup' song and lobbing the plastic furniture around in the Marienplatz.

It's the same old scaremongering before every single game England play abroad. I've been to many where the media predicted I'd be going into a warzone. |

More Mount, he’s like his comfort blanket. I’ve got it from previous seasons but not this one.
