Nations League draw: England face Belgium, Wales play Republic of Ireland

England will play world number one team Belgium, Denmark and Iceland in League A of the 2020-2021 Nations League.

Wales will face the Republic of Ireland, Finland and Bulgaria in League B, while Northern Ireland are grouped with Austria, Norway and Romania.

Scotland, also in League B, will play the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Euro 2020 play-off opponents Israel.

The first group games take place in September this year, with the finals scheduled for the summer.

England lost twice to Belgium at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, going down 1-0 in the group stage before losing 2-0 in the third-place play-off.

Iceland famously beat the Three Lions in the last 16 of Euro 2016, while Daniel Sturridge earned Roy Hodgson's side a 1-0 win in their last meeting with Denmark.

"All of the groups are quite tough and it's a really good fixture with Belgium as well - a team we haven't played as much in the last couple of years," England manager Gareth Southgate told Sky Sports.

"The best way to improve is to play the best teams. We got very proficient in the European qualifiers at beating teams who defended deep, and managed to score a lot of goals. But you are only developing one part of your game in those tests.

"These matches will be a greater test of our all-round game."

Looks like we got Woolwich style luck with that draw
 
Just realised they've increased the number of teams, and because of that the number of games, in the groups. England only had to play Croatia and Spain last time.

Croatia, Germany, Poland and Iceland should have all been relegated to League B, but they've saved them by adding them back to League A as extra teams. That seems to be a bit of a con, but because the media are too stupid to understand how the Nations League works they've not made anything of them changing the rules so that Germany don't go down.
 
I still don't understand the point of this thing really.

It was supposed to be a step up from friendlies, but most teams seem to be using it to experiment with different formations or to see how fringe or young players get on. That Germany team last night is never going to line up in a proper championship and Wales ended the game with teenagers making up half the team as Giggs tries to finalize his squad for the Euros.

Pretty shite. Also changed a manager recently. There are basically two players to look out for Zehavi ad Weissman (almost spurs once, and Austria's top scorer moved La Liga now). The rest are a bunch of chain smoking cones. so maybe on par with Scotland?

Though maybe its time we tell the scots the secret on how to kick English rule out. meet me at 9 local time at my place SausageVince SausageVince , bring firearms and some molly
 
So Iceland V England tonight?

Little bit of payback for Iceland dumping us out of Euro 2016 hopefully...

But with England, you never know.
