The one good thing I will say about this cup is that I did worry what became of the person who devised the complex, opaque, byzantine and labyrinthian rail ticketing system in the U.K....he clearly now works as head of UEFA Euro qualification.
Come on, it’s a bunch of friendlies dressed up with 4 UEFA spots available at the end. I can’t see any big nation really pushing themselves in this “tournament”. Due to the ridiculous, and convoluted, nature of the UEFA slots nations lesser nations might give a shit but others won’t.
Just because UEFA say it’s a tournament it doesn’t mean everyone will take it seriously like they do with the Euro or World Cup qualifiers. England clearly are not by the carry on with Wayne Rooney. It’s nothing more than the window dressing of friendlies.
