Countries from outside of Europe. If we are playing friendlies we could choose to play when is convenient for us. The allocated times for internationals, are for Nations league games. I have not seen anything that dictates when friendlies must be played. 

But the South American, Asian and Oceanic countries are currently playing World Cup qualifiers, the African nations are playing African Nations Cup qualifiers and the Central American nations are playing in their own Nations League. So you are left with the likes of Brunei and Hong Kong to play against !  Tuchel would not be impressed.

That is why it would be important to be able to pick when we play. Just choose dates when opponents are not involved in such tournaments.

We wouldn't be able to pick other times - they are taken up by club competitions .

They are bigger than the pointless nations league. I havent seen anyone suggest that they should get rid of World Cups and Euros.

lets cut down the number of games in the champions league and the other 2 Euro club competitions, just have a straight 2 legged knockout tournaments like in the 70's, 80's and 90's. Scrapped the club world cup also. I would also scrapped the nations league and 2 less international games windows but bring back friendlies.

I really enjoyed the England Greece game. Thought Curtis Jones's performance was excellent and I enjoyed seeing us have a different squad. 

Hopefully we see Lewis Hall more at left back going forward. 

Lewis Hall plays for Newcastle, Morgan Rogers plays for Villa and Rico Lewis for Man City
