Four Group winners compete for the Nations League Trophy

Nations League matches to be played in Sep / Oct and November.
Teams to face each other home and away.
The two best placed Group Winners (if they have not already qualified via the full World Cup qualifying group in 2021) will get a World Cup 22 play off place.
We've got to favourites to win this group?
Decent group that, sick of playing Ireland though, both Northern and Republic
Feckin Ireland
Tidy group that on paper at least.
Anyone else adopted Kosovo as their second nation? I find myself interested in their results now as they get better year on year.
England spanked by Belgium again.
The world will have ended by then, listing to the radio
'We don't have bombs in Dublin'
Partridge...'but that's where you make them'
Probably but we do better when not worrying about who are favourites. Bulgaria and Finland sound like great trips but Ireland has been done and it wasn't as fun as it should have been.
I don't understand how you qualify for the world cup from this, is it explained anywhere in layman's terms?
So now the Nations League is part of WC qualifying?
Europe has 13 places at World Cup
There will be 10 WC qualifying groups. Winners qualify automatically.
10 runners up will go into play-offs.
The two best ranked Nations League winners not qualifying or runners up will also go into play offs.
The 12 teams in the play offs will go into three groups of 4 and play semis and a final for the 3 remaining places in the WC Finals
Cheers, but that part is still confusing me. I assume its weighted so that winning games in League A or finishing as a runner up in League A is better than winning League C?
I'm sure by the time the games come around i'll have it sussed, cheers
Sorry, re-read it, got it. It's only the winners, through to the play off.Cheers, but that part is still confusing me. I assume its weighted so that winning games in League A or finishing as a runner up in League A is better than winning League C?

Chances are all League A winners will qualify for the World Cup through the normal qualifying route. Or at least finish top two in their World Cup qualifying group (being played Mar - Nov 2021) so will be at Qatar or have a play off place.
After that qualifying is complete they will look back at the Nations League winners and the two best Group winners who have not made the World Cup or World Cup qualifiers will get a play off place.
So potentially a League B or even a League C group winner could get a World Cup qualifying play off spot.
I've spent hours on this with my son going over all the possibilities.
The 55 teams in the Nations League are ranked 1 Portugal to 55 San Marino. Wales are ranked 19, Scotland 21 and Northern Ireland 28.Cheers, but that part is still confusing me. I assume its weighted so that winning games in League A or finishing as a runner up in League A is better than winning League C?

To get into the play-offs a team has to win its Nations League group. So if all the Nations League Group winners in Pot A qualified for the World Cup automatically and Wales, Scotland and NI won their respective groups from Pot B (but weren't in the top 2 of their WC qualifying group), then Wales and Scotland would take the remaining two places and NI and all the Nations Group winners with lower rankings in League B,C and D would lose out.
Hope this makes sense.
Yeah cheers I've got it now, i was just being a bit thick.
Kills me everytime
Toothless simpletons!
