Brazil and Switzerland enter their Group G meeting on Monday in solid shape, but they might not be able to let up when they meet in a 2022 FIFA World Cup in Doha, Qatar. Brazil remain the favorite to win the tournament, though they are expected to play at least the next two matches without Neymar, who injured his ankle in Thursday's 2-0 victory…

They wasted chance after chance before Eduard Spertsyan's long-range strike secured a famous victory for Joaquín Caparrós' team and will be determined to raise their game against their next opponents, who have some very dangerous players in their ranks. Ukraine's 1-0 defeat at the hands of Wales on Sunday was a heartbreaker, ensuring that they…

France are the reigning champion of the world and go into the World Cup 2022 as one of the favourites to lift the trophy. Manager Didier Deschamps's side is stacked with talent. Les Bleus are arguably stronger for the 2022 World Cup than they were four years ago in Russia. France are led by Paris Saint-Germain striker Kylian Mbappe. The mercurial…

Of all the times to lose form, this is perhaps the worst. England remain winless in the 2022/23 Nations League, having failed to emerge victorious in each of their first five matches. A 1-0 defeat by Italy on Friday condemned the Three Lions to relegation to League B. But even more concerning is the fact that the loss in Milan took place less than…

Unfortunately, England has already been relegated down to League B after a horrid five-match winless stretch. In fact, England and San Marino are the only countries to have managed not score a non-penalty goal in the five matches so far. Similarly, Hansi Flick's Germany side has also had a rather uncharacteristic run in the Nations League. DFB-Elf…
