only 4 years away lol and is probly relisticly our next chance of getting to a major finals (bar a balls of a qualification draw or we get to russia in 2018)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFA_Euro_2020 For the Nations League if we can get in the seed 2/3 draw and win our group than we have a backup if our main qualification campaign goes pear shaped |

This whole UEFA nations league format is terribly confusing! Who fancies explaining it all here?!

Right for my understanding 20 teams will qualify through the normal procedure similar to how it is done was done for 2016 with 55 teams divided into 10 groups of 5 top two qualify, no playoff for third
the other four slots will be determined by teams in the UEFA Nations league who haven't qualified say Each League has 4 groups of 3 1 from each will go through. say for example League A Group 1 had Spain, Italy and Germany and League A Group 2 had France, Portugal and England Spain, Germany, Italy,France qualified via the normal procedure above. Italy would playoff against England for a spot This would be the same for all the other divisions, meaning someone like Andorra,or San Marino could have a chance of qualifying from League D playoffs which is crazy to think Edited by lassassinblanc - 28 Jun 2016 at 12:22pm |

In terms of that Group D Teams would most likely be the 12 in the groups, you'd have to fancy someone like Macedonia or Cyprus or perhaps even Kosovo to qualify for 2020 via the group D playoffs
Cyprus Moldova Macedonia Kazakhstan Luxembourg Liechtenstein Faroe Islands Malta Andorra San Marino Gibraltar Kosovo |

20 of the 24 spots for the finals tournament will be decided from the main qualifying process but no play offs this time.
10 groups and the top 2 will qualify. (We should be 2nd seeds here so need to finish top 2.) Leaving four spots still to be decided through the Euro League. The Euro league is split into 4 based on the UEFA co-efficients League A 12 teams - top seeds League B 12 teams - 2nd seeds League C 14 teams - 3rd seeds League D the rest- 4th seeds Each league gets 1 place for the EURO's so a bit of a lottery process to get through. This is were it gets messy. All in all, it means one team from League D (Andorra, Faroe, San Marino etc) will get through which is fair enough. If everybody from League A already qualifies, then League B get 2 places and so on.

Jesus that's very Topsy turvy I understand that it gives the smaller teams a chance...but its all over the place. Realistically if we have a terrible 2018 campaign we can pray to get into the D division which will give us a great chance of qualifying for 2020!! UEFA.....never change!!!

Also the 4 teams that come through the Nations league and qualify will presumably not be involved in the Regular qualifying tournament? Just play friendlies for the rest of the campaign I presume?

Looking at the co-efficient rankings at the moment
As far as I know (Football Manager experience) it's an open draw of the teams no one I'd really fear from League B tbh- I know it will all change come the draw but we'd most likely still be in second league |

No- I believe they run concurrently. I think the whole idea of the NL is to get rid of meaningless friendlies and replace them with more games against teams of your own calibre

Is this 2 be run every 2 years?
Therefore only every second nations league has qualification implications In theory for the nations league in World Cup cycles you would be better off getting relegated to improve chance in the following nations league. |

Looking forward to a few more away friendlies anyway, I assume in the Nations League it would be 50/50 home and away. We seem to play far too many home friendlies

Another good thing about this is that the normal qualifying campaign is more condensed, and not spread out over 14 or 15 months.
At the moment, and for this this Russia qual campaign, 1 match in Sept 2016 2 matches in Oct 2016 1 match in Nov 2016 (then wait 4 months until) 1 match in Mar 2017 (then wait 3 months until) 1 match in June 2017 (then wait 3 months until) 2 matches in Sept 2017 2 matches in Oct 2017 And maybe 2 playoff matches in Nov 2017. With the new format for Euro 2020 we will play 2 matches in Sept 2018 Nations League 2 matches in Oct 2018 Nations League 2 matches in Nov 2018 Nations League Then the Euro 2020 qual campaign proper (10 games) has 2 matches in March 2019 2 matches in June 2019 2 matches in Sept 2019 2 matches in Oct 2019 2 matches in Nov 2019 More condensed, no waiting around for months and months between matches, the Nations League will keep us occupied with 6 competitive matches in Autumn 2018 and then we have 10 qual matches in an 8/9 month span......UEFA......you genius's |

I was always in favour of bringing the qualifying campaign closer together, but the argument I was told before was that for weaker countries if a star gets injured he could miss more.
Imagine if Wales lost Bale for 2 months and missed 6/10 qualifying games
