UEFA NATIONS LEAGUE : FORMAT SIMPLIFIED

 UEFA Nations League Finals Preview - Rileys Blog

Have you watched international friendlies? Except for a few matches, they all seem boring. This causes a dip in revenue , empty stadiums , coaches resting their best players and a game unattractive to the audience.

This is exactly why UEFA has come up with the concept of the Nations League. One is free to term it a “COMPETITION OF FRIENDLIES” where equivalent teams face off. The 55 participating nations have been drawn into 4 leagues according to their past performances. Each league has been further divided into 4 groups. Each team faces it’s group counterparts on a home and away basis. The exciting part is it’s promotion and relegation system. The top teams of each groups of Leagues B, C and D will be promoted to the respective higher League. The last teams of the groups of Leagues A, B and C will be relegated to the next lower League.

Portugal triumphed in the previous edition of the competition, beating Netherlands in the Final. Gareth Southgate's England took third place. This year also there are a lot of mouth-watering fixtures coming up, and this will be a tournament to remember.

History of the FA Community Shield

  Now that there are now not many games round the corner, we decided to take a glimpse at the history of the Community Shield. The Community Shield is played between the winners of the Premier League and the winners of the FA cup of the previous season and marks the first trophy of the long season that is to be played ahead.  Well if both are triumphed by a single club, the runner up in the Premier League happens to be the opposition. It is more charity oriented rather than just business as the game proceeds are distributed to the charities and community initiatives. The history goes back to 1898 when it was first played between the professionals and the amateurs. The first official match was played between Manchester United and the Queens Park Rangers where it was known as the Sheriff of London Charity Shield.     While you may wonder that rules must remain the same, yeah they are except for a few exceptions like the teams are allowed a maximum of 6 substitutions ...

Manchester United: Average journey continues

Another new season, another new year where the fallen giants try to revive the good old days of glory. After a dismal 1-3 defeat to Crystal Palace on the opening day of the Premier League campaign, and a largely underwhelming performance against Brighton, where the Red Devils just narrowly scraped through to clinch the win with a 90+10th minute Bruno Fernandes penalty.  But why is this happening? Year after year, Man Utd just doesn't seem to rejuvenate. Here is our opinion of what is lacking in this Manchester United squad and how we feel some changes need to be made earnestly and tactfully.  1. SHAKY DEFENSE Man Utd just can't find the right back line to support the attackers. Yes, last year they conceded 18 fewer goals in the league than the season before, but the defense is far from solid.  Maguire was made captain, but he's no leader. Errors, confusion, and no inspiration.  Maguire centre back partners Lindelof and Bailey are poorly inconsistent, sometimes even n...

Manchester United VS Chelsea : Preview

    Manchester United welcome Chelsea to the Theatre of Dreams. This fixture brings back memories of Frank Lampard’s first match as Chelsea manager when Ole’s reds smashed the blues 4-0. A lot has happened since for both teams but the circumstances leading up to the game are somewhat similar. Manchester United are inconsistent as they had been. Similarly, Chelsea are a team which is trying to find their feet and sort themselves out.  Manchester United, in their midweek Champions League clash against Paris Saint Germain, won via a late Marcus Rashford goal(yes, again!). Manchester United have been wildly inconsistent in the Premier League so far, and have not won two games in a row. They destroyed Newcastle 4-1 at St. James’s Park in their last match but in their previous fixture, Tottenham decimated them 6-1 at home. Their defence, which has been suspect even after expensive reinforcements, somehow conceded only one goal at the hands of Mbappe, Neymar and Di Maria, which ...
