UEFA Nations League

[egg_fried_rice]

Final England Squad for the summer announced. No surprise to see Redmond and Ward-Prowse cut and shows what a terrible season Trippier has had after a superb world cup. Think it's daft to take Kane as he won't be fully fit.

See you there mate 

[Dr Marco]

COME ON ENGLAND! IT'S FOOKIN' COMIN' HOME!!

[Ric Flair]

Holland will be a tough game, defensively they are very strong. Raheem Sterling has got to be the most in form attacker in the world right now though, what an astonishing year for him.

 

I'd be really tempted to fcuk Kane off but we've very little options up front, Rashford's form for Man Utd has been appalling in the last few months too.

Do we all go to the pub and sing how it’s coming home and fall through bus shelters for this? I’m confused what it’ll be like. Is it a nothing competition?

It's probably the League Cup of international football.

 

Still better than friendlies though.

[Wymsey]

Surprised that this tournament hasn't been advertised much as all on television etc.

Just knew about this coming up soon yesterday.

Still in its early phase, no one really cares about it, unless you are one of the 4 nations in the finals. And even they're not buzzing.

 

However, the "competition" could grow and it is much better than pointless friendlies. I think the biggest draw is that of the lower nations, talking groups C and D who get one guaranteed spot at the EURO's.

 

One of Georgia, Belarus, Macedonia or Kosovo will be at EURO 2020!

Just about to post same.....Didn’t see him listed amongst subs either.....

[irishfoxkev]

Commentary on my Sky is about 10 seconds ahead of the action ?

[H.a.r.r.y]

Switzerland look good

[Matt_Lcfc]

Good start to the game, decent atmosphere and the Swiss look very solid.

 

wish they’d out the commentary in time though

Nelson Semedo is better but I agree Ricardo should be an option at least. 

[H.a.r.r.y]

outstanding clearance from Ronaldo 

[irishfoxkev]

Been a very good game so far.....more excitement in first 15 mins than the whole of both European finals

Tough when you have Semedo and Cancelo in front of you in the pecking order.

[spacemunky]

Knew that was going in.

[irishfoxkev]

Ronaldo great free kick but thought the tackle was fair clearly got the ball so hard luck on Switzerland 

[egg_fried_rice]

Good free kick, but it wasn't a foul and the keeper and wall were poor. Ronny just seems to will things into happening

[SouthStandUpperTier]

Why is the commentator saying Bruno Fernandesh? Is he drunk?

Absolutely mystifying.

 

Partly good for us. If his own country don't know how good he is, then scouts from Bayern, Atleti, Inter aren't gonna know either.

 

Flip side is Ricardo thinks, wtf!, I gotta get outta here and start getting noticef

[egg_fried_rice]

The fabled VAR controversy in full effect  I'm not even sure that's a pen

[irishfoxkev]

Wow VAR controversy....Swiss look for penalty Portugal breakaway and get given penalty.....ref goes back and after 2/3 mins gives the Swiss theirs....1. 1
