The idea seems to be to fill in the gaps between cups and put a bit of edge into what would otherwise be friendlies, but mainly to raise cash. Perhaps it will work but I am not reading much into the performances of individuals or teams. And charity friendlies against the USA are definitely never going to prove anything about anyone. The games I've seen, which is a handful at best, suggest that the sides are taking it seriously.  Spain and Croatia were going absolute hammer and tongs at each other last night, both wanting/needing a win.  Croatia the win to stay in with a chance of promotion, Spain to guarantee winning the group.   Be it by design or not, the format appears to have galvanised a competitive spirit that the friendlies, perhaps even the majority of dull qualifiers, certainly didn't.

Fair enough Abdul, happy to take your word but I’m still not forking out for Sky. “If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.” ― John Stuart Mill, On Liberty."

Exactly. No player wants to be relegated and all will want to play at the highest level as possible. The Nations League makes games that otherwise turn into glorified training sessions a bit more interesting. Something that UEFA have done right.

A proper government would step in and declare that watching England play is a national right. Sadly, if the proletariat pay that money to encourage them then................ 'I walked in the dressing room. The window was open and I thought that a sea fret had got in. Then I saw smoke billowing from a pipe in the corner of the room...it was my centre-forward. He looked seven stone wet through. He went on to score thirty-odd goals that season.' Lawrie McMenemy on encountering the legend that was Matt Tees.

Like the FA Cup final Wimbledon, the are called the Crown Jewels or something similar.

(ITV4)..... Brazil v Uruguay friendly just kicked off at Arsenal's Emirates ground. When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”
