The UEFA Nations League has continued into its second week in this international break, with draws seeming to be the common denominator among the bigger European sides. The sad reality of this competition is that no team that participates in all the other major tournaments seems to care for the Nations League.
Many players, including Kevin de Bruyne and Virgil van Dijk, have spoken out against the Nations League, questioning its relevance.
Germany coach Hansi Flick mentioned that the format of the league, with the games being back-to-back, and the congestion of matches is too much for players who've just come out of a full Bundesliga, DFB Pokal and UCL year, with games also being squished into a shorter space of time due to the previous two years of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The players are fatigued, and to make matters worse, the Bundesliga 2022/23 season will start a week earlier to compensate for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
