Southampton is famous for being a selling club that has sold the likes of Dejan Lovren, Adam Lallana, Nathaniel Clyne, among others, but not long ago they were in the League Cup final and even qualified for the Europa League, only to struggle with relegation last season. They showed signs of improvement when they drew their first league game of the season 0-0 against Burnley at home, before going…

This game would bring together two teams that earned surprising wins in their last game just before the international break, having changed their managers in the summer.

They would be happy to have kept Christian Stuani who scored the winner in their last…

England were brought back down to earth in their game against Spain on Saturday, and after a sweet run at the World Cup, the Three Lions showed in that game why their manager said they had overachieved in Russia. They were beaten 2-1 by the former World Champions at Wembley to continue their rather unimpressive run of goal returns when they play at home. This English team is almost the same as…

Wales have started their UEFA Nations League campaign in good form after they hit four past the Republic of Ireland in their first game.

France began their first competitive competition after winning the World Cup with a 0-0 draw against Germany on Thursday, and Didier Deschamp’s men would be looking to get their first win against the Netherlands in this game.

These two teams clash after a World Cup campaign that has ushered in a new era for both of them. Portugal were eliminated by Uruguay at the round of 16 as they failed to build on their Euro 2016 success in France.
