    UEFA Nations League Draw

    Live via UEFA.com now. Inter-toto cup or great new competition? Can’t see it succeeding to be honest but probably worth a try.

    Another chance to qualify, less friendlies and some cracking potential trips in our group. What’s not to like?

    Its a difficult one to get your head around, 55 teams into groups and then a knockout finish down to the final seems straight forward.
    But the important bit is hard to find, how many European Championships places are up for offer out of these 55 starters? Answers on a postcard

    GROUP 1
    Scotland
    Albania
    Israel

    One less team than the other groups so I don't know how that all works out.

    Two thrillers 🙄 We must top the group surely. I’d expect one game to be played at ER given the crowds will be small.

    Where do Israel play their games? I've always wanted to go to Jerusalem but the cost is quite prohibitive. If there was a charter of some sort this could be the chance.

    I went to Tirana on a day trip from Corfu, loved it and would recommend. Really nice city.

    I believe the winners of each group in a league go into a playoff for the euro spot. If the winner has already qualified it goes to the next team down. I'm not sure if different leagues can be drawn against each other then or if, say no group winner from our league qualifies and say it's Scotland, Hungary, Slovenia and Romania that win the groups. I think we'd play off for the euro spot. Could be very wrong though!

    Why? The teams would be playing friendlies at this point anyway, might as well make them mean something.

    If we top this group we reach the play offs for the euros. Can't see us beating either side away from home.

    Bonkers innit. If you don't buy a ticket you're not a proper fan and if you do buy a ticket you're being fleeced.

    You're wasting your time.

    Theres 4 leagues. We are in league C. Each league is split into 4 groups. There will be 1 spot at Euro 2020 for each league. So the 4 group winners in league C then play each other in a 1 off semi, then final to decide who gets the spot.

    The 4 group winners also then get promoted to the league above. While the 4 group winners in League A play a mini tournament in summer 2019

    My credit card is going to take a bashing this month following Scotland.

    I've already booked up Hungary, Peru and Mexico. Now costly flights to Israel and Albania. Was hoping for cheapies to Greece and Bulgaria.

    absolutely right. We should maybe deliberately finish bottom of our group to give us a better chance of Euro 2024
