Eight players have withdrawn from the England squad ahead of the Nations League fixtures

Honestly I don’t think this has anything to do with too many international breaks… possibly for saka, but everyone other one of them have Irish ties, or have been caught up in controversy playing against Ireland previously. It’s because of that.

If there was no Nations League they'd play friendlies instead.
And regardless of the competition it's a disgrace if you refuse to play for your country for no or obviously fake reasons. It should be an honor and everyone who is not injured or sick and still refuses to join the national team should never be called up again.
This is what's wrong with this English team. Way too many garbage personalities.

We shd be more focused on winning nations league because it’s always being heartbreaks @World Cup or euro.

Englahd's "men's" squad. As if id even be watching if it were the women's squad.

Funny how people are whining about the international break. A lot of people like having a break from their the domestic season.

Send in championship players

This Nations league is pointless.

Stop Tham playing in the future

Nation league is a waste of time.
Club pay the player salary but cant perform for the club because injury from nation league.(Ridiculous)

Let some younger players get some caps …. I see nothing wrong .

International is so Deeeeead.
Scrap this shite

They refuse to play for a geermen! 🤣🤣

😂😂😂😂😂 they know they are cr@p overpaid andover rated. Luckily it was not a thumping by the greeks.

Pretty much nobody other the people in charge want these pointless international breaks every 3 weeks

One day the wider causal football fan world will realise that International football is pointless, the standard of football compared to the top leagues football is abysmal and gets in the way of the real football.

As a rovers fan in the championship we had a number on international duties from various countries some of which are key players we cant afford am injury in our league because it can cost us a game and put us in the drop zone

Interlull has wrecked so many club season starts and don't pay the wages, I hope they all drop out to make this season any sort of quality.

Lmao... do Greece win AGAIN???

The world doesn't need this many internationals.

The best ppl can do is not watch, not go to the game. That's the only way to send a message to uefa

Well, if the primary reason is the games are a waste of time, another reason could be that portion of players don't buy in to Cardsley's style and tactics. They're not going to want to participate in something that feels as if the previous coach is in charge, knowing a new coach is soon to come in to arguably freshen things up. You'd have to question the motivations of the players.

Nice

So no Palmer, Grealish, Foden but no call up for Maddison. Is Rogers the only option in that position now

How many more international breaks? No wonder the players are overworked

Noone cares about the nations league. Fixtures without this are already swamped. It's no surprise

Good, waste of time.

Only Saka and rice would be a big absentee s....and I'm not even a gunner...the others are replaceable...

Waste of time games playing for an interim manager that doesn’t need impressing as the new man’s due in down the line already. Literally no point playing.

I salute every single one of those players for taking a stand and deciding to withdraw from the England squad. We really do not need all these international breaks, we've had 3 already since the season started and we're only in November. It is an absolute joke. Do we really need this stupid nations league thing? Euros, yes. World Cup, yes, as they are played in the summer during the close period. But come on, isn't it time we stopped all this madness. These footballers are playing way too many games now. Injuries are occurring way more often now than ever before, now we have players withdrawing from playing for england, which I might add, it should be an honour to represent and play for your country, yet here we have footballers dropping out because they feel they are playing way too many games and they are absolutely right, and some it's fair to say have had enough, and quite a few club managers are getting fed up of it too. I don't really know what more evidence and proof UEFA need. For the love of football please just scrap the bloody nations league and stop all this madness. It is an absolute joke.

England 🇩🇪 🙋‍♂️

Hmmm all these top players leaving the tournament, the tournament where ronaldo is rly proud to won it

GOOD! INTERNATIONAL FOOTBALL IS A FKING WASTE OF TIME ANYWAY, NOBODYS ARSED.

The FA needs to wake up and force fifa to cancel some of these game players are playing too much .

who the hell even watches nations league games?

Or, they didn't want to represent a country, led by a Government of Clowns!

What a shame from England players they don't like the new coach

Probs just resting don’t blame them

nooo not aaron ramsdale

I think Bowen is better off playing for his club too, instead I'd like to see Ipswich's Liam Delap, I rate him.

No one cares

As if England just won the World Cup or European Championship. The truth is that the Nations League only replaced pointless friendlies. But those friendlies, just like the Nations League, are useful in preparation of the big tournaments.

The young players have no heart and only play for money. It is only easy to bail on your national team when you are not dependent on them for your pay!

Try out to not play the carabao cup if you really want to boycot pointless games! I guess you would not, sadly.

I have yet to meet a SINGLE football fan who cares about international breaks. Stop this idiocy, 2 weeks of doing nothing.

Make sense. They want to keep adding in nonsensical international competitions at the risk of high injury frequency this is what they get. There's plenty of reserve players, use them for these tournaments

Who ever asked for this nations league?!? NO ONE! Fans definitely didn’t. UEFA did, and they are the most greedy, selfish, self centred entity I’ve ever witnessed in modern times. They aren’t doing it to improve football it’s to line their pockets. I hope enough players boycott it so it just can’t go ahead. We as fans only care about the World Cup, and our other tournament which would be Asian cup, Euros, African etc. This nations league is a farce and I can tell you fans of football couldn’t care less who wins it because it has no worth or weight at all.

Some of these competitions you just give more new players an opportunity. Senior players are overworked

Yawn , no body is bothered . Stop the influx of foreign players in to British football and we might win a trophy 🤬🤬🤬

Overworked and overpaid 😂

Bro were cooked against Greece 😭😭😭

Turn on the comment D. Pooper place

excellent news! more players need to do this. FIFA doesn’t care about their injuries.
