Germany relegated....fully deserved for continuing to employ Low and costing the team a World Cup in the summer and probably a Euro title before that (but they couldn't in fairness fire him before Euro 2016).
DD's choices... Sissoko on the pitch again. Brings nothing but a penalty for the opponents. Pavard beaten time and time again.
Still no use for Lemar. Nzonzi and Sissoko in midfield, Rabiot at home, Ndombele on the bench.
Laporte at home, out of form Kimpembe on the pitch.
At some point, you can't always leave some of your best players off the pitch.

That's true, but he's also very pragmatic.I don't expect Deschamps to change much, he seems too stubborn for that. But with the players at their disposal, France could have a scary, fluid attack much in the style of PSG.
Denmark goes up 2-0 in the 88th at Wales and look to secure their promotion to the A league. Then Bale scores a minute later.
Ukraine, Russia and Bosnia have already secured promotion to the A league and it looks like Denmark will be the final B league team to secure the jump up to A for the next edition of the nations league.
Ya I didn’t realize yesterday when I was looking at the standings that they still had the extra game in hand. I stand corrected.Sweden can still catch Russia by winning out. But I believe goal differential is the tie breaker, so they would need to win their games convincingly as they are -4 difference from Russia right now.
Except they're not... it give a chance for these to prep and implement new ideas to the team. They have to get them early in the year because there's no way club teams will allow them to go late in to the season. The next batch are in March sooo.As someone who doesn't really care about 90% of international football, these international breaks are absolutely killing my football interest. We just had the world cup which was awesome and because friendly games are effin' pointless, they had to make something that on the surface seems relevant enough to make, but in reality is simply a waste of time.
They are completely a waste of time. I am not saying all of them are because qualifying for the Euros, World Cup, or the Copa are games I consider relevant (and friendlies before the qualifying games are legit as well), but just after the World Cup there isn't any single effin' tournament they're playing games for until as early as next year is just a big ass waste of time.Except they're not... it give a chance for these to prep and implement new ideas to the team.

You've been watching since 2018?They are completely a waste of time.

I get your viewpoint though, considering how terrible Argentina have been since I started watching football, they need every single game and every single play to prep before they lose to Chile or in the round of 16 again.
Consistency at failure I guess, like Man City and PSG in the Champion's League. There's always gotta be one of those teams in every sport like the Caps before they won last year.You've been watching since 2018?
They made 3 straight finals within the last 5 years... Have Brasil, Spain, Italy,Netherlands or Germany done that?
These games are needed to prep for important games. A week off is going to kill your interest in the sport says more about you than the sport or how its run.
No arguments from since I doubt they will ever go away, but meaningless friendly games during meaningless years should be at least reduced. The EPL has times where they have two games in one week and getting rid of some of these ridiculous international breaks which provide nothing except potential injuries to players can be better used to stop two games per week during the winter months.Well it definitely disrupts the flow of the club game but the even more meaningless friendlies were never going to go away anyway in terms of international breaks.
