Smiley Culture Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 After what was, IMO, a great tournament, even if it ended pretty stale with a dull third-place play-off for England, the Nations League is back and its bigger than before. Leagues A, B and C will now comprise of 4x groups of 4, which is a big yes from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Culture Posted September 24, 2019 Author Share Posted September 24, 2019 If it’s based off the last Nations League, the pots should look like this: Pot 1 - England, Netherlands, Portugal, Switzerland Pot 2 - Belgium, France, Spain, Italy. Pot 3 - Croatia, Germany, Iceland, Poland. Pot 4 - Bosnia, Sweden, Denmark, Ukraine. Would take Belgium/France, Germany and Sweden for England.

Panna King Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 no one ever is going to get relegated out of this thing, as they will expand it more the year after and after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiley Culture Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share Posted March 2, 2020 So, the draw for this is tomorrow. Absolutely loves the first instalment of the Nations League. I was sceptical about due to how easy it was to understand and whether sides would take it seriously and it really was good, lower ranked sides played similar standard nations and the England performance was pleasing, till they were beaten by Netherlands. England will face one of the following from each section. Pot Two - Spain, France, Italy, Belgium. Pot Three - Bosnia, Ukraine, Denmark, Sweden. Pot Four - Croatia, Germany, Iceland, Poland. Want France/Belgium, Denmark and Germany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azeem Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Good for seeing competitive matches in international breaks but don't understand what essence it will ever get ! especially when it's played in the qualification to the Euros, with one or two teams qualifying from one the lower leagues to the Euros it might edge the Euro Cup in competitiveness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azeem Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 They should link qualification and the Nations League like the Europa and Champions League, teams that are relegated/can't progress from top leagues and teams that are promoted from lower leagues should play in the qualifications, teams that progressed from the top leagues shouldn't play qualification again that should be enough to ensure qualification for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Dan+ Posted March 3, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted March 3, 2020 Soon as I saw Croatia and Sweden were in the same group I was convinced it was the usual suspects for us Think it's pretty obvious how our group is going to finish.

Michael Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Czech Republic, Scotland, Slovakia, Israel all in one group. I am sure the Czech Republic and Slovakia were also in the same group in the previous Nations League a couple of years ago. Scotland will have their work cut out in this group.

The general impression I got was people liked it? Actually looked at the poll on here and most didn't seem to interested in it. I think generally people preferred it to friendlies though.

binder Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 So according to kicker, things will start the first week of September for the new and improved, bigger and better Nations League (saving the German NT from being a B team). I think most people liked the format, at least you had teams of the same strength playing each other, I dunno, still seemed like a bunch of friendlies to me. It almost seems things are getting back to normal-sans fans- in the football world. Geez, it was only a short while ago I was watching the Belarusliga on YouTube.

Having watched England live playing a friendly and playing in the Nations League, there was a distinct difference in terms of competitiveness and intensity.
