Pointless Kane being out there. Hasn’t touched the ball and is just walking around now.
So were the Euros once, hence England not even taking part at first. Every tournament was new once. I personally think it's a good idea and people will eventually take it seriously.
Rashford is truly awful..
Rose has done well since he came on.
Not sure how Alli is still on the pitch though.
There's also crucially the aspect of seeding - if you finish bottom of your group in League A you won't be a top seed for Euro qualifying or even more importantly World Cup qualifying. So in a couple of years time England could draw a Spain, Germany or France to qualify for the world cup, and have to either win a group ahead of them or rely on the playoffs - which will be done through, yep, the Nations League. This is effectively Euro qualifying, World Cup qualifying and a new trophy rolled into one.The promotion/relegation aspect means that the teams will all take it seriously which will hopefully get the fans on board too. I'd much rather be watching a competitive match like this than a friendly with half a dozen subs from each team.
