Seems domestic games are to be postponed for up to a fortnight.

The Premier league schedule is already a mess this year.

Apparently Arsenal are the 3rd youngest team among the Top 5 leagues in Europe. The "project" continues.

Saw the US-Japan friendly today.

The US was absolutely terrible. I give them 20% chance of even getting out of the group.

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

I give us less than that if we play like that again.

Apparently England played yesterday and lost.
I was wondering why there was no football today.
I wonder whether the nations league is seen as at all mattering by the FA. Bodes badly for the world Cup anyway.

The US and England both not getting out of the group stage would be maximum hilarity.

it does matter. First of all it was a prep game for the WC. Also, England can get relegated to the next division, and that's not a good thing, because it will mean that for the next couple years they will be playing these "competitive friendlies" against weaker opposition. England haven't been doing so well, and that will likely carry into the WC.

Me. :smarty:

Biggest game tonight.

Portugal-Spain in Braga.

Portugal only needs a tie so I expect Santos to offer a defensive squad.

I think the National League is an improvement over the friendlies they replaced. I follow them a bit more than I normally would.

Denmark, by the way, beat France but lost out to Croatia in overall group standings (12 points to 13, respectively - with Denmark losing to Croatia). It's certainly getting covered in Danish media.
