I'm sorry, but that's an absolutely idiotic analysis. The European Nations League has already turned into a round of glorified friendlies, and it'll only get worse. Wouldn't be surprised if the whole thing is canned in the next 4-5 years.
It’s very early days, and don’t forget the money that apparently FIFA have sourced to finance a Global Nations League.
No can’t see it ever over shadowing a World Cup, big Euro clubs will probably hate it, players will be indifferent - but German FA, English FA etc etc will be licking their lips at some of the reported cash on offer.
It will become a much better version of Confeds Cup - and if it gives the football minnows of the world like AWs some meaningful games, that’s great. I’d rather have this and just stay with a 32 team high quality WC.
