there is no question in my mind that the Nations League is a complete waste of time and energy on the part of the players. with the world cup approaching, i don't think there is time for players to play in the Nations League as well as the possibility of them getting injured since there are key players for a nation who can single-handedly win any match they play in. in spite of this, i have to admit that i was very disappointed with both Germany and England during the match. they may have been playing safe so that no players get injured, but even after that their games were really slow-paced, so it could be that they were playing safe to prevent any injuries.
Crazy ideas with UEFA Nation League because most important with commercial and money only by UEFA institution depending how bad impact for player later get injury, I don't think UEFA Nation League as most important competition because on FIFA matchday all European countries could held with friendly match without playing seriously at UEFA Nation League. Almost few months later with FIFA World Cup 2022 begin but still have not important match and UEFA Nation League keeps playing for two games.
England have drop to second Nation League and looks not really serious against with Germany, I don't see have potential chance with UEFA Nation League most excited to watch although with big match between Germany vs England because both countries try how to protect their player from injury.
