This might have been posted already but instead of the SuperCup I'd like to see a Cup where only teams from the same nation participate so that there is something like a national championship. Has this been discussed already?

Yes

There is a good portion of managers thinking having a National Championship is useless since only one guy has fun per country, the HC.

Exactly, Head coach

If someone comes up with an idea how to have National championships without involving only one manager per country, we can discuss.

That is true, but I think his suggestion was to have a cup with only germans, another with only english and so on teams!

I personly don't like the idea, since the supercup does connect the different Leagues more or less equal.
A national cup would also do that to some extend, but the cups participants would be not equally spread.
Biggest groups at the moment are USA, Germany, Portugal and some others (I'm lazy, sorry) would have a big competition, while teams from countries with only 1 team, like Jamaica or Ireland would be champion by default?

Sorry, don't see that.

national Competions could be done by friendly cups, even with a trophy and all. Cost Credits, yes, but I think that's OK.

imho, SuperCup is a great concept .... it's 10,000 times better than Regional Cup in -TOG-
I can think of few downsides to the current Supercup structure .... sure, some top teams do effectively knock each other out in the group stage ... but that happens in all Cups that aren't "seeded" ... and it still happens in some seeded cups too !
I think you'd need to come up with a Genius idea for it to work better than the current Supercup.

Yeah, sorry. I wasn't clear on that one. I meant the latter: a tournament for each country where only teams from this country will participate.

Of course this would cause some problems for smaller countries. A possibility would be to group them, e.g., all teams from the African continent will determine the African champion. Once some of the smaller countries grow, you could ungroup them. The downside is that this would be a totally manual approach and not feasible without heavy workload involved.

I wasn't advocating against the SuperCup. I like it too. Just suggested to replace the SuperCup insteading of just adding more and more games.

The national championships were merely a suggestion that came to my mind because I think it would be cool to have a trophy like "Best German Team Season 4" for example.
