The General Football Thread

Why is everyone saying the Nations League is complicated? It's really not.

4 divisions, 4 groups in each division. Group winners got promoted, finish bottom you get relegated. The 4 group winners for each division play off for a play in the Euros if they don't get through the main qualifying. If you're already qualified, your play-off place goes to next placed team. Doesn't seem particularly complicated to me.

 

It’s not complicated , it’s just a really ****ed up way of doing something that didn’t need doing .

 

I just like the fact that it means one of the teams from Division 4, which includes the likes of Andorra, San Marino, Malta, Khazakstan and the Faroe Islands will qualify for the Euros.

Though I suspect the play-offs will be between Macedonia, Moldova, Azerbaijan and Georgia

 

Given Moldova lost 4-0 to Luxembourg, I might have to reevaulate my previous post.

 

Bloody hell

Sorry state of affairs in football. Sad for such an old club, but it has been on the cards.

Be interested to see how that works.

 

Ah something like the Cup winners Cup!

 

Barcelona, Girona and La Liga have asked the Spanish Football Federation for permission for the two Catalan clubs to relocate a match to the US.

Hopefully Girona are battling a full on relegation scrap, and the match descends into a mass brawl.
Now that would be funny.

 

FFS Uefa just **** off things are fine as they are​

 

Steve Davis scores for NI

 

Steve has stated that he's retiring from club football to concentrate on Internationals but if Saints draw Israel he may consider coming out of retirement

 

Spain are beating Croatia 6-0...

 

Hope not, that would be no good to us!
