Franchise FC Something on one of the other threads has reminded me of an idea I really like for the Nations League.
Since they are only glorified friendlies anyway, why not have a penalty shoot out at the end of every game ?
One point awarded to the winners of the shoot out
There’s a lot of talk that you can’t replicate the pressure, but this would seem to be a reasonable option
There is way more to the Nation's League than being a "glorified friendly".
And England could find that out tonight if they lose......and are relegated to a "B" level group.
If they get relegated, they face a harder qualifying groups for major tournaments, rather than playing the top nations, they will be playing Moldova, Bosnia and the likes of Albania...real crowd pullers and hardly competitive. There is a big impact for dropping a league. I'll be gutted if we don't beat Poland and drop down on Sunday. Playing the likes of Belgium and Holland has been a big benefit in Welsh finances, and qualification.
I just don't get England fans attitude towards this competition.
