    It absolutely was better in the old days! Back in the 90's was the best imo, for more reasons than I care to admit until things like that report come out. A lot of it probably comes from the fact I was just a dumb kid who loved collecting the panini sticker albums and watching MOTD on weekends rather than anything else lol.

    The nostalgia is so powerful to the point where I even feel the goals scored back then where better than the ones scored now - only a handful of goals in 2010-2020 come close to those two Tony Yeboah goals for Leeds in 1995!

    Eddie is going to be so good. The next great English goalscorer (probably along with Greenwood).

    I'm glad I decided to watch Germany v Switzerland. Germany couldn't defend for toffee but all their goals were tidy finishes. Rudiger should face retrospective action (if he can) for a blatant elbow at the very end of the match.

    Also, I wonder how many in Germany decided to watch the game after the record low audience figures for their last game v the Ukraine.

    Ngl, I really enjoy the nations league purely because of these matches and headlines.

    People say it’s too complicated but it really isn’t, and it keeps every match relatively competitive and gives the smallest nations a route to the Euros. Imagine what it will mean for a San Marino, Malta, Lichtenstein, etc.

    In the three League D groups currently, Faroe Islands have 10 pts from 3 games and look really strong. If they manage to qualify, then they will get to their first ever finals, which will be amazing.

    I was trying to describe myself to someone

    I don't really understand why people get all uppity about that competition. It's way better than the friendlies system.

    If I was a professional footballer (lol) I would be eligible to declare for Malta! Would be so fucking sick if you played in the conference or something and were called up - just boasting to your teammates like "ahh, enjoy training the next few weeks boys; i'm off to get trounced 9-0 by Croatia!"

    Never a penalty, but Pickford had no reason to be out there.

    Every nations league game I've watched during the international breaks have been mainly from league C and D and they've held my interest more than the league A matches
     
  22. how can a team full of phenomenal attacking players be so boring

    England are terrible and the sending off was correct, but my god the standard of refereeing has been abysmal in this game. There is nothing that Poulsen could have done in this game to get a yellow card. Some of the fouls given in open play were atrocious.

    Really disappointed that Denmark just sat back for the entire second half. We were there for the taking.

    Another red has been shown after the final whistle ffs.

    3 centre backs and 2 defensive midfielders. There’s a huge gap between the midfield and attack.
