So you're admitting that you were wrong about England never having beaten anyone better than us? It's ironic that you accused someone of literally knowing nothing about football in the same post.

You logged in to tell us that England are 'irrelevant'. Well if they're irrelevant to you just ignore the thread.

Yet you logged on to this thread just to tell us how little you care. 'I must let the internet know my opinion.' Don't bother.

Didn't we beat Germany 3-2 in Berlin? Kane, Vardy and Dier scored. Two of them are still in the squad and the other one has only recently retired.

Maltby Main v Frickley Athletic is live on the BBC website: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/football/45203165 Unfortunately the BBC don't appear to have brought a cover for the camera and it's pissing down. Every so often a giant hand appears to wipe the raindrops of the lens. The rest of...

They will if they get relegated and have to face second rate teams in the next Nations League. Ultimately that'll have an effect on their performances if they're not playing the best opposition.

How is it creating more games? England would be playing someone during the international break regardless of the Nations League.

All competitions start with general apathy. We didn't even bother taking part in the first World Cup competitions. The European Championships were a bit of a joke when they first started, here were only EIGHT teams in the finals until Euro '96!

It's designed to make friendlies more competitive not to replace the qualifiers. The only teams that will qualify for Euro 2020 via the Nations League, are the best placed teams who haven't already qualified and they will go into a play-off against each other.

It's better than friendlies, at least there's a trophy at the end of it. The only other solution is to scrap friendlies altogether and just play qualifying games for Euros or World Cup in international breaks. However that would mean the lower ranked nations would never get anywhere near a...

Nice trophy!

Four pools A, B, C and D. Four groups within each pool. Winners of B, C and D groups promoted. Bottom teams in A, B and C groups relegated. Four group winners in pool A contest the semi-finals, third place play-off and final. If any team finishing top or best placed second hasn't already...

This is just plain bonkers from start to finish:

More a drama documentary than a pure documentary but 'Mother's Day' about the IRA bombing of Warrington, is well worth watching: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0bj7ldv/mothers-day I'm surprised that this didn't make it onto the soundtrack though:

'Apeth'. As in 'yer daft apeth'. Although still in use in Bolton.

Apparently if you were walking along the coastal cliffs on a summer's day in 1940, you might get a ringside view of the dogfights over the English Channel. It must have been surreal watching life and death struggle going on a few miles away with the future of the whole country at stake. This...

I think he was overrated but he played Greece on his own that day.

Unsurprising when you consider how Alan Turing was treated.

England through to the World Cup finals in France next year.
