RIP GEORGE
While the competitive value, format and byzantine permutations of the Nations League are understood by so few people that the handful of Uefa blazers who dreamt it up are all forbidden from travelling together on the same plane, all your average joe needs to know is that it is a competition devised to cut down on the number of pointless one-sided international friendly mismatches in which European heavyweights steamroll small mountain-tops or archipelagos in poorly-attended matches that benefit absolute nobody involved. Instead, the Nations League is supposed to pit countries of similar ability against each other, even if England resemble something of a barracuda rubbing fins with the comparative minnows in the pond that is Group B2.
