Get used to it, there is going to be a hell of a lot more of it from 2018. Friendly games have been ditched - for more competitive Nations League games. Ontop of Euro/WC qualifications.

keithgersbear 3,225 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 International football is much more exciting when your own country is doing well and I have enjoyed the qualifying format of this tournament.

True, but the old excuse of pulling players out because it is a friendly can no longer be applied. Particularly as qualifications for EURO and seeding places are at stake (which they always were for friendlies, due to the short sighted attitude of the SFA they probably should have taken them more seriously and chose suitable teams to play in order to climb rankings). Anyway, I think they are played as double headers round robin format - so there will only be 5 rounds so shouldn't notice too much difference. Of course, the competitive element may lead to more demands and injuries for clubs to be aware of. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
