If I call them all leagues am I right, All though I do think a nations division has a certain ring to it

It's explained very well on the UEFA website. There is a video about half way down this page which explains the playoff situation. Pictures are sometimes easier to understand than words.;)

And your understanding is? Same as mine ? With out being pedantic

Pretty easy to understand if a couple of teams fail from league A

I don't know what you are asking me.

Have you watched the video? It only takes a couple of minutes.

Do you agree that a league D team must go to the finals?and a league C team and a league B team based on the group qualifiers and each Leagues playoff , leaving the final place decided between teams that have not won their groups.

That is my interpretation of it, which is what I said earlier.

Yes, which is why I said this about a week ago.;)

One of the teams from League D is guaranteed a place at Euro2020. There has to be at least one team from each Nations League at the Euro2020 finals

Going by that link above the draw for the 2020 Finals is in December ‘19, the play-offs are in March ‘20 and additional Finals draw in April (if required) 😕🤷🏼‍♂️

They might have to rearrange the draw depending on what happens in the playoffs. One example could be if Scotland and Hungary are both in the League C playoffs. If either of Scotland or Hungary qualify they are guaranteed at least two home games in the group stages. They won't know if either or any of those two teams have qualified until March 2020.

That bit is quite complicated. I don't think they have explained how they are going to do that bit. If they have, I haven't seen it.

I don't understand why they couldn't of just made the qualifying groups for the European championships larger which would of ensured that more games needed to be played, they could of had groups of 12 or more and had the top 4 or 5 go through from each group or something along that lines.

It's adding another layer of interest to kick off the new competition.   Just like some of us, there must be a few folk in league* D perked up.

 

*(Probably first time I've got that right. I hope.)

The teams in League D (the better ones anyway) will be loving the Nations League. 

This is their best ever shot at getting to a major tournament.

Yes, that's what their top seeds will be thinking, and so too  will the 'giant killers' behind them.   What a chance.

Just getting head round how good it is to be back in competitive games, 4 in the space of 10 weeks or so, & extra games if making playoffs. 

It’s not exactly extra games if we make they playoffs. Playoffs would still have been a possibility under the previous system. 

We arguably do have a better chance of making the playoffs right enough.

I don't follow. Why is this NL mini league /group not extra games?

You said ‘& extra games if making the playoffs’.

We’ve got extra competitive games whether we make the playoffs or not due to the Nations League but playoffs would still have existed even if the Nations League didn’t.

Fingers crossed we won’t actually need the playoffs anyway but time will tell on that one.
