ENGLAND’S display against Iceland summed up how difficult it is to land Nations League winners.
Gareth Southgate’s men looked disjointed and rusty and were lucky to win 1-0 with a late penalty before their opponents missed a spot-kick of their own.
I tipped Harry Kane to score first so was gutted when his first-half effort was ruled out for offside despite replays showing he was on. Where’s VAR when you need it? Actually it seems crazy the technology isn’t used in this tournament which could lead some countries to the World Cup finals.
The bad news for punters is we have another three days of the Nations League with countries playing the second of their double headers.
Matches include Spain vs Ukraine, Switzerland vs Germany, Ireland vs Finland and Wales vs Bulgaria.
As I’ve been saying since Thursday team news is vital and play with low stakes.
I’m having another look at the fixtures and will add tips later. Well done to all the winners on Saturday and good luck on Sunday.

There is one EFL Cup game and you have too fancy Brentford to beat Wycombe in the lunchtime kick-off.
