Four England players who impressed against Republic of Ireland
Four England players who impressed against Republic of Ireland – originally posted on Sportslens.com The international break is often not an exciting time for fans of the English national team. The friendlies are often dull and uninspiring, leaving everyone begging for the Premier League to return. However, Thursday night’s triumph against Republic of Ireland was somewhat different. While it didn’t match the emotion of Scotland’s Euro 2020 qualifier, it was an impressive performance from Gareth Southgate’s side, cruising to a 3-0 victory. If this level can be maintained in the upcoming fixtures against Belgium and Iceland, then it will be a highly positive two weeks for the Three Lions. One thing that friendlies are good for is experimenting. It gives the mana...

Why the UEFA Nations League Matters
Why the UEFA Nations League Matters – originally posted on Sportslens.com The weekend’s club football is done, and now it’s on to the international break.
