[–] Sure-Respect6914@alien.top [B] 1 point 2 years ago (4 children) I mean do you really need both Nations league and Euro’s? permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] qu1x0t1cZ@alien.top [B] 1 point 2 years ago (2 children) I’m sure when the Nations League was first announced UEFA said that it would eventually replace Euros qualifiers. Probably changed their minds in favour of more cash. As an aside I hate how big the Euros has become. When I was a kid it was 16 teams representing most of the top 20 international teams in the world. Short tournament, high quality, good fun. Now it’s too diluted. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] moonski@alien.top [B] 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) The euros was peak at 16. Almost no dead rubbers even in the groups, just a quality tournament all round. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] juve_merda@alien.top [B] 1 point 2 years ago 16 team euros was brutal, 1 bad game in he group and you could be out now it just has a ton of filler, which on one hand is nice for the smaller nations that wouldn’t get to compete otherwise, but it always means some low stakes games permalink fedilink source parent [–] Nahcep@alien.top [B] 1 point 2 years ago Technically you could make them different, let's say one in a classic format and one closer to current Champions' League with League A being the main qualification route - it would still keep the challenge between low-rated teams while keeping the tournament finals in the other Right now they are redundant, yeah permalink fedilink source parent
