Internationals...

The season isn't quite over yet, as some important international games are upon us.

Nations League
Netherlands face Croatia on Wednesday before Spain and Italy play on Thursday in the semi finals. The winners meet on Sunday in the final. All games on ViaPlay.

Scotland
After a great start to the qualifying campaign, 2 wins from 2, Scotland have the chance to open a massive gap over Spain (who obviously don't play due to Nations League).
First up is a tough test away to Norway on Sunday - although it is yet to be seen if Haaand will be there so soon after the CL final. With Haaland absent Norway have started with just 1 point in 2 games.
Scotland then host Georgia on Tuesday.


England
A massive win over Italy to start this campaign, plus beating Ukraine, it is business as usual for England so far. Friday sees a trip to Malta, followed by hosting North Macedonia. With Italy not playing there is a great opportunity to create a gap.

Republic of Ireland
The Irish were praised for their performance against France in their only previous game, but that ended in defeat. Now they must beat Greece (Friday) and Gibraltar (Monday) to get back in the mix. With the Dutch otherwise occupied, it is an opportunity to get into second.

Northern Ireland
A trip to Denmark first up on Friday. This group was blown wide open when the Danes lost to Kazakhstan, meaning 4 teams have taken 3 points from 2 games. Kazakhstan travel to Belfast on Monday in Northern Irelands second fixture

Wales
The Welsh started with a credible draw against World Cup semi-finalists Croatia, and then beat Latvia to sit atop the group. Armenia is their next opponent before heading to Turkey in what looks a key match.

While still early in the process, the next week could be pivotal for the home Nations.
Most games are on ViaPlay, English and Welsh fans can enjoy their team on Channel 4 and S4C.

There are also the penultimate round of AFCON qualifiers, so who will be missing January/February will become clearer.

The Euro u21 championship is set to start on 22nd June, England are in it. Don't see any TV coverage yet though. Same story with the women's World Cup in July last I knew

A draw against Norway would be a good result for Scotland and put them in a strong position

They’ll push the self destruct button no doubt, and get 1 point out of the 2 games.
