The Nations League is a pointless, contrived competition and about the last thing players need at the end of the season. They should be resting now, forgetting about football, not playing games like that. Even more so when you consider the intensity of the coming season with the world cup.
Agreed. I didn't even know the game was happening, but even if I did I probably wouldn't have bothered watching. Looking at the line-up it was not exactly 100% first choice I wouldn't say. And Hungary are no mugs these days, if you look back at the Euros and how they did quite well in the group of death. I'm not losing any sleep over the result, and the Nations League is a pointless waste of time anyway.
One of my mates would quit his job every 2 years, just before the Euro's and World Cup began, so that he would have an entire month of just watching football. After the tournament, he'd find another job.
Very much so. Especially as we are Northern Irish, and they were never in the tournaments. Except at Euro 2016, in which he went over to France, like myself, to watch the games.Now that's a hardcore fan
He is a fabulous pro but his tackles are getting later and later, without losing any intensity. By the end of next season he could be doing someone a serious injury unless he reigns himself in.
Agree on both points. We had Gareth Barry for a few years towards the end of his career and he was very much in that mold. Always reliable, set the tone for the youngsters coming through. Great professionals.
Some of his tackles V City earlier in the season hi lighted this.
And he is only 29. Just imagine how he will perform for Arsenal when he signs a 1 year contract extension when he is 36 years old. Definitely expect to see some meaty challenges.
