2026-27 Nations League draw revealed as England, Wales discover daunting League A opponents
England have been placed in a challenging 2026-27 Nations League group alongside Spain, Croatia, and Czechia, marking Thomas Tuchel’s first major tournament cycle since extending his contract. England’s return to the top tier of the Nations League will feature a high-stakes reunion with Spain, the team that denied them glory in the Euro 2024 final. Following their promotion under Lee Carsley, the Three Lions were placed in League A Group 3, where they will also contend with recurring rivals Croatia and a resilient Czechia side. This daunting draw coincides with the confirmation that Thomas Tuchel has extended his managerial deal until 2028, ensuring he will lead the squad through this competitive cycle following the 2026 World Cup. The tournament structure also presents a difficult task for Wales, who must navigate a group containing title-holders Portugal, Norway, and Denmark. Meanwhile, Scotland will face Switzerland and Slovenia in League B, while Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland prepare for tests against Hungary and Austria respectively. Fixtures are scheduled to commence in late September 2026, utilizing a revised international window format. Regarding the challenging path ahead, FA sources indicated that the schedule provides “belated revenge” opportunities as England seeks to re-establish dominance among Europe’s elite. -
‘World Cup miss is your problem’ – International boss tells Liverpool attacker
Italy coach Gennaro Gattuso has made it clear to Liverpool star Federico Chiesa that his continued absence from the national squad for World Cup play-offs is a situation of his own making, emphasizing personal accountability.
Gennaro Gattuso has admitted that Federico Chiesa rejected Italy call-ups, calling the situation “his problem, not ours,” as the Azzurri battle to qualify for the World Cup.
According to a report from The Independent, Italy head coach Gennaro Gattuso has confirmed that Liverpool winger Federico Chiesa has declined another call-up for Italy’s crucial World Cup qualifying matches.
Gattuso said, “I often talk to him. We have to respect the decisions and problems that each of us has. … I must respect what the player tells me. I can’t say anything else.”
The 28-year-old has refused multiple invitations, leaving Gattuso increasingly frustrated at what he describes as “ongoing problems.”
Chiesa last played for Italy at Euro 2024 and has made 12 appearances for Liverpool this season, where he has scored two goals and recorded three assists.
Gattuso’s public remarks underline a deeper rift in the build-up to Italy’s World Cup qualifying campaign, with the coach signaling he has respected Chiesa’s personal decision while openly acknowledging the issue lies “with him, not us.”
Note: I couldn’t locate a Daily Mail article for this exact headline or content, but the information matches widely reported coverage.

Germany, Dutch secure World Cup spots, Poland for playoffs
Germany and the Netherlands decisively booked their places in the next World Cup, while Poland, Slovakia, Northern Ireland, and the Czech Republic secured spots in the upcoming playoffs after the final qualifying matches.
1. Match Summary
Lithuania secured a 0-2 victory over Moldova in a straightforward performance. The first half saw a single goal from Justas Lasickas, setting the tone for the match. Lithuania solidified their lead in the second half with a goal from Gvidas Gineitis. Moldova struggled to create significant chances and were unable to respond, despite making a flurry of substitutions in the latter stages of the game.
2. Team Performance Analysis
Based on the limited statistics provided (only goals and events), Lithuania demonstrated greater efficiency in converting opportunities. Their ability to score in both halves indicates a consistent threat. Moldova, while attempting to change the game with numerous substitutions, lacked the cutting edge to break down the Lithuanian defense. The sheer number of changes made by Moldova suggests a lack of initial tactical satisfaction and a desperate attempt to find a spark.
Lithuania's strengths: Clinical finishing, maintaining control throughout the match, and effective substitutions to manage the game.
Moldova's weaknesses: Lack of attacking threat, inability to capitalize on opportunities, and a reactive rather than proactive approach, evidenced by the late substitutions.
