It’s debate time on The Top Flight Debate (TTFD) and what better way to reenter to the debate room with the old but gold problem… The unwanted but necessary international football break.

Football fans across the world are sitting through the third international break of the season. It’s a fairly slow time in the football world; minimal news stories with only the occasional upset and injury concerns dogging the headlines.

UEFA have recently tried to spice things up by introducing the Nations League, a competitive tournament meant to improve upon the tedium of pointless friendlies and routine qualifying campaigns.

Reaction to the idea has been mixed as some just find it difficult to understand, while others probably wouldn’t be happy unless the international breaks were scrapped completely. In our second Top Flight Fight Debate, we ask ‘Has the Nations League Improved the International Break?’
