They are not supposed to be meaningless friendlies, England will be relegated to the next tier of the Nations League if they finish bottom of the current group which affects their future world ranking and seeding for competitions. If, as seems unlikely England win the group it’s automatic qualifying for the 2020 Euro’s. It’s not a competition for a player who I think has only played one full game for his club this season.Why? One is doing very well in one of Europe’s top leagues at one of Europe’s top clubs. He’s English. We have what looks like a forward thinking national team manager. Meaningless friendlies. So why not introduce that player showing that form to the full international squad? What harm can it do?
I can understand why fans are getting over excited about Sancho but he has a lot to prove, he’s a crowd pleaser but a lot of them don’t always have top careers.
