The nations league is so so so Thursday. It feels plain wrong as a weekend activity. It’s like going for a full Indian meal (not a bday/occasion) on a weeknight. It just feels inappropriate. Nations league, 3(!)beers, reluctant tooth brushing, doom scrolling in bed. That’s the menu.

David Cameron Walker @davidcameronwalker.bsky.social · 14/11/2024

Enjoyed that from England tonight. Good game, good goals, good performance. Lovely stuff. Also, Thursday night is the best international break slot Gets the business done early and avoids you having to unexpectedly half watch it on a small TV in the corner of a pub on a Saturday night
