?? Is Nations League Football a Waste of Time? ?? The UEFA Nations League, introduced to offer competitive matches in international football, raises a pertinent question: Is it a valuable addition to the already packed football calendar, or is it simply adding to player fatigue and diluting the quality of the game we cherish? ? Issue at Hand: The tournament poses a risk to players who are already balancing league, cup, and international duties, potentially leading to injuries, exhaustion, and burnout. There are a huge number of players who have pulled out of the matches this week ''injured''. It seems like players have decided that this competition is not high on their priority list and are not interested. ? Fan Engagement: Unlike major events like the Euros or World Cup, the Nations League struggles to evoke the same emotional connection with fans. Consequently, these games can sometimes be perceived as placeholders rather than significant fixtures. ? Silver Lining: While the Nations League does offer smaller nations a platform to showcase their skills and provides teams with a chance to prove themselves, the question remains – does this outweigh the strain it adds to an already demanding season? Do you believe the Nations League enriches the football landscape, or do you see it as an excess in an already saturated football calendar? Share your thoughts on the value it brings to the sport. ? #NationsLeague #Football #PlayerWelfare #Sports

Here are three new changes UEFA have made to their Women's Champions League format that will benefit the women's game... 1.?????There will be an increase in the number of teams competing in the group stage. Up to 18 clubs from the current 16, this minimal change will expose more non-champion clubs to European football. 2.?????The 18 teams will be ranked in three seeding pots based on UEFA's latest club-coefficient ranking and drawn to play two clubs from each pot during the league stage. Instead of playing three teams home and away during the autumn, teams will now face six different opponents once, either home and away, skewing the fairness of the competition. 3.?????For those teams failing to come through the qualifying rounds of the UEFA Women's Champions League, there is now the potential parachute of going into a new second tier competition, mirroring the UEFA Europa League in the men's game and further exposing more clubs to European football. These changes will take effect in the 2025/26 season. #wsl #womenseuefa #uefachampionsleague #womensfootball #football #womenschampionsleague

"Watching England play football is certainly a game of two half's". A sporting cliché for sure but it does open the debate on whether an under-performing team is actually good for drawing in an audience vs a team that wins every game? Does an increased level of uncertainty around a result mean more people tune in perhaps? My friends Gracenote and Stats Perform do you have any stats to share on this topic? Though the England football team is still just about in UEFA EURO 2024 saved by its Real Madrid C.F. superstar's wonder goal and overall quality of the teams performances coming under increased fan and media scrutiny (this media outlet Advanced Television firmly keeps away from such actions). The Football Association must be incredibly pleased that the nation is at least buying into the content thriller with ITV drawing its biggest audience in two years on June 30th as a peak audience of 18.4 million watched England eliminate Slovakia from the Euro 2024 tournament.

Progress Great to see this article from ESPN The English Premier League is the peak domestic competition of the world’s biggest sport. The Arsenal F.C women’s team has achieved an average attendance that is greater than half of the men’s equivalent league. Their average attendance is better than 10 of the 20 premier league teams. That is an amazing achievement and reflects many years of progress in women’s football in the UK both from the clubs themselves and sports governing body. As a child I remember watching the women’s FA Cup final with my family, with the Doncaster Belles being the dominant team of that era. Although Arsenal did go on to become the consistently best team in this competition. The standard of women’s football in England was pretty good back then, and it is excellent now as was demonstrated during the amazing World Cup last year. It makes me think that there are retirees in the UK now who stood on the sidelines watching their daughters play football back when they were young parents. They would have been there in freezing cold conditions, week after week, when their daughters were children, supporting and encouraging them in a sport that many people didn’t want them to play (they had previously been banned). Every successive generation of female footballers has got better and better, building on the progress of each generation that came before them. I can’t begin to imagine what it must feel like for them to see what the women’s game has become. Women’s football has become a fantastic sporting product on the back of what matters most in sport - a fantastic competitive product. I’m not a huge fan of comparing men’s and women’s sport but…….. if you use football as an example you can definitely see a future in team sports where some of those comparisons could be useful and relevant.
