The latest Nations League matchday offered plenty to discuss: a packed international window is forcing increasingly heavy rotation, raising questions about whether national teams are getting enough time to actually develop.

With two of the biggest names in the c

Read excerpt
The 2026/27 UEFA Europa League is about to begin — and on paper, it is actually a pretty impressive competition. Milan, Juventus, Benfica, Bayer Leverkusen, Lyon, Marseille, Real Sociedad and plenty of ambitious clubs are all in the field.So why does it feel like the Europa League is getting so little attention?In this episode of My Soccer Universe: Football Talk, I look beyond the usual preview and ask what has happened to the value and identity of the Europa League.
