5 things to know about the UEFA Nations League

#5 Should you be excited?

The current European Champions will again look up to their Captain, Cristiano Ronaldo for inspiration

While it's not something which is going to make everyone wait for the international break, its a step in the right direction to bring some interest and importance back to international football. The quality of contests is likely to go up with the lower ranked European teams having a better opportunity to improve playing regularly on a level playing field.

A draw against a lower-ranked team does much good to your game and confidence than a series of 4-0, 5-0 hammerings at the hands of the big boys.

The viewers too can have great matches to watch out for in the international breaks with League A sure to invite interest.

And while the European teams stand to benefit, its a loss for the teams from Asia and Americas which would be devoid of the opportunity to compete against better teams. Japan, Korea, Mexico and Iran, teams that are too good for their Confederations won't be able to regularly compete against the world's best sides. And while it doesn't help the players with the scheduling, we as viewers are sure to be treated to wonderful football.
