Just my opinion but, this league of Nations shyt is a mess. Like pep said, they gonna kill these players.

The main premise is make extra money to try and stop players/clubs from pulling out of national team call ups in international friendlies, only for them to be OK for their clubs a week or so later.

Is this "league" or "tournament" a replacement for normal friendlies or are they extra international matches?

More or less both.

Less friendlies, more competitive games. The top 4 teams in Tier 1 all automatically qualify for the Euros in 2020 and semi final/final in June 2019. Which is already a date in the international calendar window.

Ganso made his premiere with Amiens today. It feels like a lifetime ago when he was a huge deal.

If you would have told me back then how their respective careers would play out I wouldn’t believe it

Still remember the night Pato burned Barcelona, jeeeeeeeez

The top league/division, gives you big games during the international week. Like tonight France vs Germany and then next week Portugal vs Italy, Spain vs Croatia

Cut down on Friendlies, which have been deemed pointless.

Basically it's to give all 55 nations a chance to qualify for the Euros as oppose to the old format, where you have anywhere from 1-2-3 strong teams and then the rest were fodder in the group. This way via the FIFA rankings, you got all the top boys playing each other, the 2nd tier nations all play each other and so on till 4th tier. There is a promotion and relegation process and the winners of the group in tier 1, play a semi and final next year and they automatically advance to Euro 2020.

I think
