I really like the Nations League concept and much prefer watching these games than if there was friendlies in its place.

I went to the England-Croatia game in the last tournament and the atmosphere was brilliant. A rare complete success from UEFA as far as I'm concerned.

I'm glad we have Iceland in our group so we're not going to get relegated. Obviously they beat us at Euro 2016 but I think they've went downhill a lot since then and we're on the up.

They it's like a league so you go up and down the leagues each time.

They really should keep the leagues the same so you have to work to get out of it.

Lo and behold Ireland get Wales again.

Had completely forgotten this was an annual tournament!

Edit: I just realised I posted literally the same comment earlier this year but it was too amusing to not post laugh.gif

Good performance from Ireland last night I like the new style of play with the full backs really high up although they’ll be open at the back.

Difficult but correct decisions to start Doherty at right back ahead of the captain Coleman and three upfront being Connolly/ODowda/Idah now Parrott maybe in for one of them if he can get a goal scoring run together. I would also throw Jason Maloumby into the midfield as he’s going to be a super player.

Scotland's Nations League match in the Czech Republic on Monday has been postponed after a Covid-19 outbreak amid the home squad, says the Czech FA.

West Ham midfielder Tomas Soucek and RB Leipzig striker Patrik Schick are self-isolating after coming into contact with a backroom staff member who tested positive for the virus.
