Last nations league draw was done around 5pm too and fixtures were announced about 10 that night. For the Euro 2020 qualifiers they were announced late that evening after the draw on the Sunday morning and for World Cup Qualifiers draw was in the evening time and fixtures next day. Since the groups are only small it might be possible that they would be announced late tomorrow night but the fact the delegates can’t meet it could be slower.

I think they use computers now rather than the 4 FA’s agreeing?
Yeah the draws are all done on computers now but I think the delegates still meet too incase there is any dates the stadium are unavailable or things like that.

Of all the things to rig, Nations League B wouldn’t exactly be top of the list.

It basically stinks of match "fixing" but how teams are drawn out.

I have no doubt tomorrow's draw will be conducted fairly.  There are no delegates at the draw because of COVID protocols.  

The hot and cold balls trick was used in the past most notably to keep the Old Firm apart in Scottish Cup semi finals. 

These days it is much harder to do but less incentive either.  You need legendary wealthy footballers to be complicit.  

Our draw doesn't really matter to the TV companies etc.  League A will throw up some fascinating clashes no matter what happens.

Build a bridge. Same tin hat stuff before the last draw when people were posting here that Portugal and Italy were guaranteed to be kept apart because the TV stations were worried about ratings.

im really not sure how controversial a nations league draw can be that behind closed doors hot cold balls tactic would be applied. No tv cameras etc. means it’s cheaper to run.

Can't risk the likes of Germany getting relegated again, there's only so many times they can change the format to get them out of it.
