It looks like Carling Nations Cup wont be returning after a less than successful debut

Bit of a shame, I thought it was poorly organised rather than a bad idea. Playing two of the six games three months earlier was a silly idea, then playing one game a day in May didn't work since half of them were midweek.

Better organisation, better timing, and less arguing about the money involved and it could have been good.

was a shambles of a tournament in terms of organisation.......lets get it over a bank holiday weekend...even if ti's still the 4 teams...3 games each 3 days...fri/sat/sun...and add in points for goals to get some excitement generated...25 man squads and up to the managers how best to utilise then, 5 subs per game allowed

They should have played games home and away to maybe try and generate some interest.
