The weekend’s club football is done, and now it’s on to the international break. This is usually the time when all Premier League fans let out a big sigh of disappointment.

A whole two weeks without the glorious Barclays. No fantasy football, no Gillette Soccer Saturday – none of it. Just ‘meaningless internationals’ in the UEFA Nations League.

Of course, given the COVID-19 pandemic, perhaps playing international games right now isn’t the best of ideas.

Just last month, Cristiano Ronaldo contracted the virus while playing for Portugal. However, the disdain for the Nations League goes back long before COVID-19.

Many people consider the Nations League to be nothing more than glorified friendlies – needless games that no one particularly cares that much about.

Every time an international break rolls around, several bored fans take to Twitter to say “scrap it all, it’s useless”. Even former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger claimed that it was too complicated and needed to go.

Arsene Wenger : “We need to get rid of the Nations League and find clearer events that everyone understands. If you ask people in the street what the Nations League is, you won’t find many able to explain it."
