If this is anything like the last two games, I'm not expecting too much. No crowd either which doesn't make for great watching.
Handy that you don't have glasses to watch it.
3 games, no wins and only 1 dodgy penalty scored. Yawnfest.
These are basically glorified friendlies, they can stick some Champions League-esque music behind it but the reality is players won't want to push themselves at the end of the season for something that's only been around 2 years (especially since they changed the rules after year 1 so that the big names didn't get relegated).
Yeah we'll get relegated this time if we finish bottom but the first year the Nations League happened there were only 3 teams per group in Division A, which meant some big teams got relegated (Germany being the biggest). Someone at UEFA realised relegating big sides isn't good for business so they decided Division A should have 4 teams, meaning no one got relegated from Division A in the first season.I'm sure the commentator said last night that if we finish bottom, we'll get relegated. Not that it means anything really in the grand scale of things, it really is a Micky Mouse Cup. It's just another money spinner for UEFA.

From what I can gather we play each team again. If we “qualify” then what?
Think of the groups like the regional divisions, the National League South and National League North are on the same level on the pyramid but the divisions are separate from each other, that's kind of what the Nations League is.From what I can gather we play each team again.
