    I was reading about it yesterday and got as far as "2 teams of the 31 lowest ranked teams out of the 55 can get qualification to the Euros" then I got very bored and stopped reading <ok>

    Think Scotland are playing a friendly against Belgium and then a Nations League game against Albania. Not even sure when they are playing but as you can imagine, I am very excited about the whole thing.

    The reason that some teams have friendlies is that some groups only have 3 teams in them, the groups with 4 teams in them won´t have friendlies I don´t think.

    Germany v France about to kick off in group 1

    I think most nations have taken the stand that they will indeed treat this as a secondary competition. However, given that this league is an alternate route to Euro qualification, as soon as one of the bigger nations finds themselves in trouble in their actual Euro qualifying group (as did holland last time out or England in 2008), I think the tone will have to change.

    The other thing is that there is a relegation and promotion system in place and I’m not sure how a powerhouse will react to possibly being relegated into the B league next season.
