Format

The format and schedule of the UEFA Nations League was formally approved by the UEFA Executive Committee on 4 December 2014.According to the approved format, the 55 UEFA national teams will be divided into four divisions (called "leagues"):12 teams in League A, 12 teams in League B, 15 teams in League C, and 16 teams in League D.For the 2018-19 UEFA Nations League, teams will be divided according to their UEFA national team coefficients after the conclusion of the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers (play-off results will not be included), with the highest-ranked teams playing in League A, etc.

Each league will be divided into four groups of three or four teams, so each team will play four or six matches within their group (using the home-and-away round-robin format), on double matchdays in September, October and November 2018.

In the top division, League A, teams will compete to become the UEFA Nations League champions. The four group winners of League A will qualify for the Nations League Finals in June 2019, which will be played in a knockout format, consisting of the semi-finals, third place play-off, and final. The semi-final pairings, along with the administrative home teams for the third place play-off and final, are determined by means of a draw in early December 2018. The host country will be selected among the four qualified teams on 3 December 2018 by the UEFA Executive Committee, with the winners of the final crowned as the Nations League champions.

Teams will also compete for promotion and relegation to a higher or lower league. In each league, the four group winners (except League A) will be promoted, while the last-placed teams of each group (except League D) will be relegated; however, in League C, due to different sized groups, the three fourth-placed teams and the lowest-ranking third-placed team will be relegated.

[Perumthachan]

france - 2 - 1 - netherlands.... holland was really poor yesterday... oru goal-scoring superstar illaathathinte sheenamundu... ronald koeman will have to do something drastic to get the orange back in form... the greatest thing going about france is their 'nobody can defeat us' attitude... it would be tough to break their attitude... and then keep up with their pace...

Spain 6-0 Croatia: Marco Asensio stars in Nations League as visitors suffer worst-ever defeat

Spain's next generation of stars put on a sensational show as they inflicted a 6-0 defeat on World Cup finalists Croatia in the UEFA Nations League - the heaviest loss in Croatia's entire history.

Atletico Madrid's Saul Niguez got the ball rolling with a bullet header (24), Marco Asensio thundered a brilliant second in from 25 yards (33), before the same man fired another strike for goal two minutes later - which went in off Croatia goalkeeper Lovre Kalinic - to make it three.

The goals kept coming after the break as Croatia remained all at sea. Rodrigo slotted home a fourth (49), before captain Sergio Ramos got in on the act to make it five (57). Isco then steered home a sixth 20 minutes from time to complete the rout
