A new competition that runs alongside the more traditional qualifying. Replaces most of the international friendlies

much better than having friendlies good to see their is an incentive also never knew those who win qualify for euro's?

So if they win they dont take part in the euro qualifiers?

I thought it was a new name for the Euros post Brexit and all that.

They still take part in traditional qualifying, the Nations League places are decided after the qualifying groups finish.

That is where it gets a bit complicated - if a team gets to the play-offs for the Nations League but qualifies through the traditional method then their place goes to the next best team not qualified...

Alex Hleb doing the League D draw - and pulls out Andorra first...

I can see there's lots of enthusiasm for this

Gibraltar get Liechtenstein.

and Armenia.

League D

Group 1: Andorra, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Georgia
Group 2: San Marino, Moldova, Luxembourg, Belarus
Group 3: Kosovo, Malta, Faroe Islands, Azerbaijan
Group 4: Gibraltar, Liechtenstein, Armenia, Macedonia

Can't believe one of those D-league nations is going to be at the Euros. Although Latvia were at Euro 2004 so I guess it's not that ridiculous.

Tbf, Latvia did it by beating Turkey in p/o and finishing above Poland, Hungary etc rather than beating the likes of Andorra and Kazakhstan.

Litmanen doing League C.
Scotland in this one...

And they were a much better team back then, I remember Pahars and Verpakovskis.

And Stepanovs

Scotland will hope to avoid Greece and Serbia from pot 2 and Greece and Bulgaria from pot 3.

Those Greeks get about.

League C draw ...
Group 1: Israel
Group 2: Estonia, Finland
Group 3: Cyprus, Bulgaria
Group 4: Lithuania, Montenegro

Winter venue condition?

Scotland get drawn with Albania and Israel

So Scotland want the Albania/Israel group ideally.
