ALL GREEK TO US
First off, an apology. Around this time yesterday, Football Daily may have suggested that while the Nations League was a tournament devised to eliminate pointless one-sided international friendlies and instead pit national teams of similar ability against each other, the England team was far too good to be muddying their spats in its second tier. The impression that we expected them to swat a distracted and distraught Greece team aside, in the process boosting Lee Carsley’s chances of being offered the role of full-time manager, was conveyed. In the face of incontrovertible evidence presented over 95 minutes at Wembley, we are happy to concede that we were wrong on both counts and would like to unreservedly apologise to readers for these errors in judgment. In our defence, however, we would like to point out that unlike assorted others, our nonsensical ramblings were written and published before the game.
