Even if it sounds unusual, failure in qualifying this time may not automatically mean the end of the progress dream. Forget that the only tour of the big tournament runs through the qualifying group. Soccer Europe has decided for the Revolution, which bears the name of the League of Nations.

This sets off the adventure, whose basic idea is to eradicate unrelenting friendly matches and instead to launch a new, attractive contest.

“Friendly matches are not interested in anyone. Fans, journalists, and players, “said Michel Platini, the then president of UEFA, three years ago when the League of Nations concept was presented to the public.

If you want to understand how the project will work,And maybe several times.

The country divides into four divisions according to the representation coefficient. There will be twelve divisions A and B, so there will be four groups of three. In Division C, there are fifteen states, one for three and three for four. And the band occupies sixteen countries divided into four groups in four.

The group stage in which everyone will play with each home and outside will be played in September, October and November 2018, that is, before it starts Euro qualifications. Twenty moves will be drawn from it and the League of Nations has the task of generating the remaining four.

How to win one of the bonus points? Win your group and then play-off.There are four group winners in the division to compete in March 2020, ie after the end of the qualification.

To add another possible plot: if the winner of any group already has a Euro qualifier , is the next state in the play-off division.

Are you still orienting?

The system seems intricate at first glance, but the Czech Republic has to be interested in all its tricks. The results in the rest of the unsuccessful qualification of the championship in Russia will decide which division will be the team in the League of Nations.

So it does not matter how the Czechs can handle the final two – at first sight no longer meaningful – matches in Azerbaijan and San Marino.Now they are only in the third division, but two victories give a good chance of jumping into the other. “We are already talking about the next Euro,” says Jaromír Šeterle, the representative manager.

At the same time, however, the crucial question arises: is the shift more advantageous? For the most part, yes. The Czech Republic will get to the harder division, but at the same time it could be in the second basket where the “cake” does not have a chance to get. This would be in a stronger position in the qualifying group. But there is also a view from the other side: if he stays in the third division, he will hypothetically increase the chance in the competition for slightly weaker opponents to win the additional play-off .This is one of the main pitfalls of the League of Nations: it is possible that speculation will begin to proliferate.

Try to play the role of Azerbaijan, the next Czech rivals. In the order of the nations they are on the 39th place, just above the edge of the fall of Division C. It is a heretic idea, but…It is not for them when they have no chance in the current qualification, it is better to lose twice and play for year in the League of Nations for direct action with teams such as San Marino, Andorra or Gibraltar?

Minus would be more. While friendly matches have rarely attracted audiences, the coaches have been able to select opponents as much as possible to test the team in line with what is ahead of them.

Now?The strong will play with the strong, the average with the average, the weak with the weak or the weakest. All this within the continent: there is no room for negotiation with a team from South America, Africa or Asia.

Something for something. By exchanging a piece of freedom, teams will have a new chance of slipping into the championship.
