It's one step forward and two back. For the 2022 NL we are in League C and ranked 33rd-48th in Europe which means for Euro 2024 ranking we are languishing in Pot 3 / Pot 4. If we struggle in the Nations League 2022, we could end up in Pot 4 ranking for Euro 2024, which would be bad. Best thing we can aim for is to stay Pot 3 and hope that the team can develop and be competitive for a qualification spot in Euro 2024.

I don’t know about the other countries. I can’t speak for those. But Canada isn’t the Canada of old. They are talented, very fast, and have 3 world class players playing for huge clubs. And starting for them. Lauren plays for besiktas. David is on French champions lille and starts and of course Davies on Bayern. That’s the forward line for them. Not many countries can line up a better attacking 3 than that. JVS doesn’t have very many attacking options. Greece aren’t built to attack. It’s just not in their system. Hasn’t been since I remember. I say find a defensive coach again and play to the strengths.

Looking at the rankings we are behind the likes of Canada, Paraguay, Saudi Arabia, Ireland and N Ireland absolutely disgraceful. JVS could only muster 2 draws vs Kosovo in world cup qualifiers. After this FIFA rankings release he should just say thank you for the opportunity that was given to him and walk out the door. Enough!

My god can you imagine? Game after game v the minnows eeking out 0-0 draws.
