    Well no its more than that, it also ensures that it's more competitive by ensuring that teams of a similar ability compete.

    Much better than teams like San Marino trying to keep it to single figures every time they take the pitch.

    Did you actually watch any of the matches? They were certainly not like watching friendlies and nations seemed to take it seriously.

    They're clearly not, as friendlies are one-off, stand alone games, which do not lead to semi finals and finals. <ok>

    And Southgate is, imo, doing a great job so far.

    That's because he hasn't done it with your players and you've seen no negative outcome from it.

    It's probably more competitive than the EL tbf.

    Sort of. Obviously I don't really give a **** about Spurs, so there's that. But it is a bit distressing that Pochettino has overused Kane to such an extent that he's apparently burned the engine out of him.

    Exactly. Spurs should return the favour for the England squad.

    I'm sure they will.

    Hopefully not every club will be as begrudging.

    Do you ever consider that players might want to play for their country?

    Just saying that it probably wouldn't end well for Chelsea if you were to adopt such a strategy.
