How the European Nations League is played

I. Why the European Cup is called the World Series and not an intercontinental competition

The questioner's question is problematic. The Europa League is an intercontinental competition, not a world championship, and is no different from the American, Asian and African Cups, all of which are one of the major soccer tournaments within each continent. It is one of the major soccer tournaments within each continent. It is only because the level of soccer in Europe is higher than that of the other continents, and its influence and audience are also higher than that of the other continents.

The World Cup is the most important world soccer tournament organized by FIFA, in which every member country of the world can participate. The UEFA European Cup is a major European soccer tournament organized by UEFA, and the participating countries are the European member states of UEFA. The status and influence of the two are not comparable, and athletes have a lifelong dream of participating in the World Cup and winning it for their country.

Of course, from a purely competitive point of view, the European Cup has a higher gold content than the World Cup. World Cup due to the large number of participating countries, each continent's soccer level varies, the degree of excitement and spectacle of the game is often not as good as the intercontinental competitions. The European Cup because of the European countries level difference is very small, the intensity of the game and spectacle than the World Cup to be one step higher.

The topic of the European Cup is also stronger than the World Cup. In the history of the World Cup, only 8 countries have won the championship, basically a few world soccer powerhouse countries take turns to sit in, there has never been a "one black to the end" of the dark horse. The European Cup, however, has many dark horses, the Czech Republic and Portugal as Europe's second-ranking team won the European Cup, surprised people, while Denmark in 1992 and Greece in 2004 showed the world what it means to be "black in the end", Denmark and Greece at that time was barely classified as a second-ranking team in Europe, but was able to win the game over a number of soccer powerhouses, and eventually crowned the European Cup, staging a blackout. In the end, they were crowned European Cup, staging the story of "Danish fairy tale" and "Greek mythology", which can't help but marvel at the magic of the European Cup.

In addition to the competitive factors, UEFA's excellent commercial ability and tournament promotion ability, but also to improve the influence of the UEFA Cup has played an important role in promoting.

Europe as one of the world's most economically developed regions, UEFA has a mature commercial profit model, the UEFA Cup tournament broadcasting rights, sponsorships and commercial advertising and tickets, the overall revenue is no less than the World Cup, than the other continents of the tournament income is not known how many times higher. Plenty of money, in turn, will promote its member states to improve the level of soccer, narrow the gap between the teams, make the game more intense and exciting.

At the same time, Europe has the most developed media machine in the world. The developed media have greatly enhanced the status and influence of the European Cup by spreading and promoting the tournament, publicizing and maintaining the brand of the European Cup, and publicizing and promoting the teams and stars.

In the UEFA's elaborate creation and operation, the influence of the European Cup is increasing day by day, in the world of football in the status of the World Cup, but in any case can not change the European Cup belongs to the attributes of the intercontinental competitions.

Is the UEFA Europa League a World Series? Which article of the FIFA or UEFA states that the UEFA Europa League is the World Cup? Which international soccer celebrities and coaches have said that the UEFA Europa League is a world championship? The so-called World Championship must be an international tournament in which all continents participate. Is the UEFA Euro Cup participated by strong teams such as Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, North America, Mexico, and Africa, such as Nigeria?

FIFA expressly stipulates that: in addition to the Olympic Games, the World Youth Championships, futsal, all levels and types of soccer matches around the world are divided into five grades, the first grade WF level, i.e., the World Series, including the World Cup and Confederations Cup; the second grade CF level, i.e., intercontinental competitions, including the UEFA Euro Cup, America's Cup, Central and North America Gold Cup, Africa Cup of Nations, and the main round of the Asian Cup; the third grade WQ level, i.e., the World Cup qualifying round; the fourth grade CQ level, i.e. qualifiers for intercontinental competitions, such as the UEFA Cup qualifiers, Asian Cup qualifiers; the fifth class F class, divided into two categories, one is the FIFA designated match day for warm-up matches and friendly matches, and the other is the FIFA Amateur Competition Committee recognized cup matches, such as the

League of Europe

, Gulf Cup, East Asian Cup, Southeast Asian Tiger Cup, South American Super Derby Cup, China Cup, to name a few.

FIFA clearly stipulates that the European Cup is an intercontinental competition, which is recognized all over the world. Why is it that in our country, where the level of soccer is the most backward and the knowledge of soccer is the poorest, there is always a part of the population that wants to elevate the European Cup to the same level as the World Cup? There are two reasons:

First, the time spent watching soccer is short. Some young people only know that there are many strong teams in Europe, but they do not know that nowadays there are 55 member states of UEFA, and at least 20 of them are superb fishbowl like the national soccer team, such as Andorra, Faroe Islands, Liechtenstein, Gibraltar, San Marino, Malta, Moldova, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Cyprus, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Armenia and so on. I know the names of these countries thanks in large part to Crowe

I don't know that there are so many underdogs in Europe without him abusing on these underdogs, it seems that no underdogs in Europe is just a rumor made up by someone's fan, which doesn't correspond to the facts.

Secondly, someone powder deliberate hype. Because of a certain star in and Messi comparison, he can only get out on a European Cup champion, this championship or avoid Germany, Italy, Spain, England, Holland, Sweden and other traditional powerhouse, their own European Cup finals missing rely on teammates to get. In order to prove that the star is more than Messi, people powder deliberate hype, trying to raise the European Cup to the same level as the World Cup.

So, is the European Cup at the same level as the World Cup? The answer is no. 1992 to create a European soccer fairy tale of the Danish team, even the door of the 1994 World Cup can not enter the World Cup only last year to break into the World Cup again; 2004 to create a myth of European soccer Greek team, did not enter the 2006 World Cup, only in the 2014 World Cup into the knockout rounds; people fans in the same breath blowing the 2016 Euro champions of the Portuguese team, although these sessions of the World Cup have participated, but the results are disastrous, into the sixteenth round have to rely on luck, is the world ranking in the top eight teams in the worst, the record is also equivalent to a high configuration of the fish brisket team, serious name does not match the reality.

The European Cup is just a good advertisement, the gold content of the America's Cup is far worse! European Cup three miracles: Denmark fairy tale, Greek mythology, Portugal joke! It is impossible for such miracles to occur in the World Cup! That's what's so strange about the European Cup! They are all European Cup champions, can you let them play in the World Cup? Europe's strengths and weaknesses are clearly defined, you can avoid the strongest team to win the championship, the World Cup can avoid the strongest team? European Cup winners Portugal World Cup round of 16 to get out, even Iran, Uruguay can not win! And the Confederation Cup can not win Chile!

This year's European Cup was forced to be postponed to next year due to the impact of the new crown pneumonia, which is also unprecedented, affected by the epidemic, as well as the Tokyo Olympics. And for the first time in the odd-numbered years held in the European Cup will make the fans wait one more year more hungry, but also will be more attention, after all, the epidemic in the next year may not be completely eliminated, so next year held in the European Cup, the audience can be full into the field is also a big challenge. The organizers will also face a huge challenge, after all, the host city distributed in a number of countries, rather than concentrated in a country, which will bring challenges to the epidemic prevention work. But since UEFA maintains the original plan, I think they will have confidence and countermeasures. The European Cup has been around for 60 years, and ten champions have been born in that 60-year history: the USSR, Spain (3 times), Italy, Germany (3 times), the Czech Republic, France (2 times), the Netherlands, Denmark, Greece, and Portugal. Spain is the only team to defend the title, which is the pinnacle of the Spanish dynasty.

The European Cup is second only to the World Cup, concentrating all the strongest teams in the world except for our New Customer Brazil, and the degree of intensity is higher than that of the World Cup, second only to the European Championship. The intensity is higher than that of the World Cup and second only to the European Championships. Other continents are a step behind Europe, and this time the top four teams in the World Cup are all from Europe, so the gap is obvious. The original America's Cup can be comparable to the European Cup, I do not know who to a consecutive years held, but also invited Asian teams to participate, in addition to the Agen Newcomer all the main participants, the other teams are not so serious, some sent a substitute, some on the second team, where the gold. Although Africa and Asia are weak, but according to the rules of the organization, the intensity is certainly not as strong as the European Cup. Because the European Cup is from the Intercontinental Cup, but the overall strength is higher than other continents and the World Cup, so with the World Cup known as the World Series.

The level of the final stage of the European Cup is higher than the level of any other soccer competition. Compared with the World Cup, in addition to less Brazil, Argentina and a few other world powerhouse teams, less Asia, the very fishbowl team, from the group are very exciting, as the saying goes: "no weak team in Europe". Is to put Brazil Argentina in the European Cup, also not necessarily achieve good results.

The highest level of soccer: the European Cup, followed by the World Cup, followed by the Olympics. As for Serie A, La Liga, Bundesliga, English Premier League, Chinese Super League, K-League, and even Club World Cup and Intercontinental Cup, it's nothing but a commercial competition.

This is like the NBA game, the highest level of world-class gathered here, ask how many other countries and regions dare to jump out and say: we have a fight.

The European Cup is also the reason, the world-class soccer players they accounted for most of the rivers and mountains, from the individual ability to the overall level of the South American region can be counterbalanced, the other continents can only look forward to the sigh of the ocean, and the top players in South America to have a big development will have to go to Europe to play in order to show their own.

It is therefore not an exaggeration to compare the Europa League to a small World Cup.

UEFA European Football Championship (English: UEFA European Football Championship, referred to as the European Championship or the European Cup, is a UEFA member countries to participate in the highest level of national soccer tournaments, held in 1960 for the first time, and then every four years after that, after the reform of the current UEFA European Cup for the 24 teams in the main round.

The 2020 UEFA European Football Championship is the 16th edition of the European Football Championship. UEFA to commemorate the 60 years of the European Championships, this tournament will adopt no host country tournament held in 12 cities in Europe, of which the semi-finals and the final will be held in London's Wembley Stadium. 2020 UEFA Euro 2020 qualifiers have just completed the group stage, the top two of the 10 groups out of the line, including the three World Cup winners of Spain, Germany, and France, Belgium, Portugal, Italy, the Netherlands and other traditional powerhouses all out of the line, from a world perspective, and Europe is also the most numerous continent to win the World Cup, in the traditional five leagues. Italy, the Netherlands and other traditional powerhouse teams all out of the line, from the world, and Europe is also the continent that has won the most World Cups, in the traditional five leagues on the collection of elite players from all continents, so Europe is considered to be the most developed continent of the soccer movement.

Compared to the World Cup, the European Cup lacks a few traditional South American teams such as Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, etc. The European Cup has been promoted properly and has a wide impact, and it is also known as the World Cup, which is why the European Cup is also regarded as the World Championship.

The European Cup is the World Cup, and after 2002, the World Cup winners were all European teams, and the European Cup was more intense than the World Cup

America's Cup strong team less, and very informal, sometimes held once a year, a lot of America's stars do not want to participate in the America's Cup, the European Cup is different, in the minds of the players, the European Cup and the World Cup is equally important, Neymar, Big Luo, have once given up to participate in the America's Cup, you've seen which ball player initiative to give up the European Cup?

The European Cup and the World Cup are both world championships, a soccer extravaganza that takes place every two years.

II. How the European Nations League is played

All 55 teams in Europe are divided into four divisions, A, B, C and D, and play each other according to home and away matches, with elevations and lower divisions and championships in each division up for grabs in each tournament.

Graded rules:

55 national teams

According to the FIFA rankings at the time, the 12 highest-ranked teams formed League A, the next 12 teams formed League B, and the remaining 31 teams formed a 15-team League C and a 16-team League D. Among them, there were three teams in each of the four groups of League A and B, three teams in each of the three groups of League C, and four teams in each of the four groups of League D. The teams in League A and B were divided into four groups of three teams in each of the four groups.

Elevation rules:

The groups will play home and away round-robin matches from September 6, and after six international matchdays the ranking of each group will be determined and the relegation places will be decided according to the group rankings: the bottom team of each group in the A and B leagues will be "relegated", and will be relegated to the next grade of teams to take part in the group draw for the 2020-21 season of the UEFA Nations League. League C, which has a slightly larger number of teams, has a "differential" relegation system: in addition to the bottom team being relegated, the third-worst team in each of the four groups will also be relegated to League D.

In accordance with the National League format, the four group winners of League B, C and D will be promoted directly to the next level of the league, replacing the previously relegated teams in the next National League grouping.

Final stage:

The four top finishers in League A are even more "valuable", as they will advance to the final stage of the inaugural UEFA Nations League and draw lots to determine the semifinal (one match, not home and away) matchups, with the winners advancing to the final, and the losers determining the third and fourth place finishers.

Europa League wildcard play-offs:

According to the rules, each of the four levels of the UEFA Nations League, A, B, C and D, can decide one team.

The 16 play-off berths all belong to the first of the 16 group stages in the national leagues, although if the aforementioned teams have already made it out of the group stages of the Europa League qualifiers, participation in the play-offs is deferred to the team that finishes second only to the top of the respective group in the same division.

If there are too many teams already out in a single division, for example, League A may not be able to come up with 4 out of 12 teams that didn't qualify for the Europa League, then the remaining vacancies can be filled by teams from the lower League B.

This is the end of the introduction about what kind of competition is the Europa League of Nations and why the Europa League is called the World Championship instead of the Intercontinental Championship, so I hope it will be helpful to you.
