Italy conquered all of them.
It doesn't mean they are one race.
France is Gaul(Galatians)
I don't think Rome conquered Scandinavians and Russia
wow. So the Epistle of Paul to the Galatians were to the old French people. Hmmm

You don’t need to go to school because you won’t fit into the system, all you need is education.
So preseason games are friendlies while Nations league are what? Friendly or second-tier competition?
In your previous comment, you claimed it’s a second-tier competition grin Are you doing this for banter and cruise or you are naturally ****w irl?
Also, no sir, and for the purpose of education and out of my magnanimity, I’ll take my time to teach you once again so you don’t embarrass yourself further outside and in the future.
Friendlies are called friendlies because they aren’t COMPETITIVE. I won’t risk losing my legs on a competition that is not seen as being official (that is, friendly)
The Nations league at worst, can be called a lower or second or even third-level tournament and not a friendly because it’s competitive but not at the levels of the Euros and the WC. It was created to address and replace meaningless friendlies. So how can a friendly be created to replace friendlies? Isn’t this just common sense?
The keyword to always remember here is COMPETITIVENESS. You are being ignored now
Second tier competition are friendlies and friendlies are competitive because it places two opposing teams against each other. Go on FIFA & UEFA websites and look at the categories of these competitions. The nation league is under second -tier competition , it replaced FIFA friendly games. School no be scam, try go school.

Each time I tried to ignore, you keep bringing me back to have a good laugh.
So you mean lower/second-tier competitions such as the Europa league, Carabao cup and the Europa Conference League are all friendlies and that friendlies are competitive? Okayyyyyy, you are very right my friend.
Insanity can’t be hidden for long, it will naturally surface in due time😂. Now I understand what I’m dealing with very perfectly🤝

Guy, second-tier competitions are friendlies, they are inconsequential. That's why top clubs don't count those inconsequential competitions. Stop bursting nerves over second - tier competition.

Winning Nations League is wey above appearing in WC final or winning Copa .... final Spain vs Portugal...semi France vs Germany.... even England de struggle to even see semi for nations league ....

Giroud win world cup ,no mean say e better pass halaand wey never even win World Cup... Messi and Ronaldo don compete wela for champions league and Ronaldo is above him... Argentina has won over 20 titles b4 Messi joined the national team...Portugal had never even played final I any competition until Ronaldo join them... infact as of 2002 world cup when Nigeria where in their 3rd world cup, that's when Portugal also where playing their 3rd ever world cup... Argentina be like Bayern Munich for champions league , while Portugal be like Sevilla ...now imagine comparing a player that's carrying sevilla to be challenging teams like old Manchester united, real Madrid, Barca, old Milan, with player that's playing for Bayern Munich....

Both Conference league and nations league are lower- tier competition, more like friendly matches with a title.
How is Nations league that comprises of all elute teams and players in Europe same with conference league that don't comprise of elite teams and elite players ... Will u call the FA Cup or copa de rey lower tier competition??

Nations league was formed in 2018 to modify friendlies among nations in Europe during FIFA international break. Same thing with Conference league which is to keep smaller clubs busy during European club competition.

Will u also say the new club world cup is also not major ...afterall, it was just modified

Any competition that have elite players and teams participating in it is a major tournament.... they decided to create a new tournament of elite teams ... and who told u they don't still play friendlies in Europe ... they were friendly games this past weekend

Below are friendlies games that had European teams involved, just last week

Club world cup is a FIFA first tier competition, it comprises of intercontinental winners. But in Europe, the Euros is the first-tier competition while the nations league is second-tier, it's a modified international friendlies. You guys should stop this una wack arguments. Any country that wins the nations league knows na friendly cup they won , can never be compared to Euros.

The table you posted didn't add up. I thought we're speaking English here?. International friendlies, from time immemorial are games involving countries all over the world. But UEFA modified their international friendlies to include only European countries and called it Euro nations league. Any other countries outside Euro can go and play their own FIFA friendlies.

Concacaf have also started playing theirs ... the oldest competition is the FA Cup, then South America started the copa then all continents came together and created the world cup and fifa was born... then the Euros started in the 60s and AFCON followed suit in the 70s , so as the rest of other continents.... or were they not playing football friendlies b4 these tournaments were created... now UEFA created a new tournament and bad belle people with their jealousy and bitterness for Ronaldo, started calling it friendly cos he won the first edition...

There's one Euro cup, one Afcon, one Copa America, one Asian cup (AFC), one Concacaf. Any other continental games are friendlies or second-tier. Case closed, no long story.

Then the copa , the afcon , even the defunct confederations cup are all modified friendlies....

They were friendlies in football b4 competitions were created... friendlies are games that are 1 on 1 ...Nations league have group games , have limited subs , unlike friendlies that have unlimited subs ... they have top scorers , pkayer of the tournament, knock out phase and a champions , even 3rd place finish... so how is it a friendly.. abi dem de give top goal scorer , medal and cup for friendlies??

Lol, you are sweating to give importance to this friendly matches grin. Even UEFA on their website categorized nations league as an international friendly competition, so I don't know why you're sweating it out. For your Education, club competitions are different from continental competitions and FIFA competitions. All these competitions have grades, from grade A, B, C & etc. That's why in club football,the League trophy is grade A while other cups are grade B. Same for continental football, the continental trophy is grade A, other cups are grade B. Also for FIFA, the World Cup is grade A , others are lower grade.

thanks for pointing that out, I use to thought it was clubs that failed to make champions League, Europa league that plays conference league, as in clubs that didn't qualify or are in division 2.

CR7 is certified as one of the greatest footballers ever, maybe as good as Pele or even better (I didn’t watch Pele play, I only saw a couple of his goals).

The best debate will never be settled, you know what I mean.

You can boldly say Tom Brady is the best to ever kick a football or MJ being the best to ever play hoops. Can you say same about CR7 without starting a fight?

I have never watch Pele play too, but with videos that I watch and his goals and records, Pele was no doubt the greatest. Some of the players that came close to Pele were Maradona and Delima Ronaldo R9. Go and watch some of Pele documentary, especially the one by FIFA ,SS on DSTV. R9 said he was so humble and happy fans and supporters then were comparing him to Pele De greatest footballer. Also watch what others great footballers said about him, especially Maradona
