France moved one step closer to salvaging their Nations League campaign with a 2-0 win over Austria, their first of the competition.

But now a win over Denmark would spare the reigning World Cup winners from an embarrassing relegation to the competition's lower tier. Following a giveaway in midfield, Olivier Giroud found the Paris Saint-Germain star, who slalomed through Austria's defence before ripping a beautiful shot into the back of the net. After a scoreless first half, France finally got their goal from Kylian Mbappe in the 56th minute.

The Netherlands are three points clear of Belgium before the sides meet in Amsterdam on Sunday.

Croatia are a point clear of the Danes before going to Vienna to play bottom side Austria on Sunday. Coming exactly two months before they begin their World Cup defence against Australia in Qatar, the result also allowed France to stave off the threat of relegation from the top tier of the Nations League, a competition they won just last year.

England, Wales, France and Poland remain faced with the possibility of relegation to UEFA Nations League B with just two matches left in the group stage.

And who was included in the collectible Panini sticker book for the 2022 World Cup? McKenzie, Palmer-Brown, and Cardoso have only been called due to injuries, so this is a huge chance for them. As for Saudi Arabia, it went 13W-4D-1L in qualifying and play in a lot of 1-0 contests including recent Spain-based friendly losses to Colombia and Venezuela. Austria and Saudi Arabia combined to take only three points off the Japanese in World Cup qualifying (The Saudis won 1-0 in Jeddah). Put plainly, these are tough tests for the USMNT.Berhalter’s team is the No. Jordan Morris is a proven commodity but Arriola’s seeming favorite status means Berhalter would be keeping very much like-for-like guys over the field. Horvath’s been good for the Hatters in the Football League Championship, but what if Steffen is healthy and there’s only one spot left after Turner and Johnson? Losses to Brazil and Tunisia show they can be bested, but Japan’s got wins over plenty of World Cup contributors in their rear view mirror. soil, providing limited chances to perform outside of the U.S. Johnson is five years older than Turner and six years older than Horvath and Steffen, and Berhalter’s had plenty of praise for the veteran. Pulisic has yet to record a goal or assist for Chelsea this season, but he has no such slum,ps in his USMNT career. Are his 177 Chelsea minutes played out of 900 this season down to bad management, or has it been merited by form in training?

What happens in the event two teams or more teams in a Nations League group are locked on equal points?

- The team with more wins in all group games; - The team that scored more goals in all group games; From the 55 teams divided into four leagues, Leagues A, B and C have 16 teams with four groups of four each while League D has the remaining seven teams two groups - one containing three teams.

[England](https://www.theguardian.com/football/england) immediately counter through Sterling, who dribbles down the inside-left channel and draws a cynical foul from Bonucci.

[England](https://www.theguardian.com/football/england) man falls on his back. 59 min: Bellingham romps down the middle and sprays a pass wide left for Foden, who tries to find Kane at the far stick. Sterling hopes to get on the end of it by the left-hand post, but Toloi flicks out for a corner, just in time. England claim a foul – it was right on the edge of the penalty box – but both referee and VAR rule it a 50-50 accident. As things stand, England will be relegated from the top tier. 83 min: Bellingham makes a bit of space down the inside-left channel, his twists and turns earning himself the right to shoot. The Italian takes up possession again and slips a pass down the left for Dimarco, who creams a shot across Pope and off the base of the right-hand post. 88 min: Di Lorenzo sashays in from the right and rolls across for Cristante, in acres on the edge of the D.

In four games, that Kane goal from the spot is the only one England have managed. The stage for this evening's match is San Siro and kick off is at 2:45 p.m. EDT/ 11:45 a.m PDT for viewers in the United States, or 7:45 p.m (BST) in the UK and 8:45 p.m. Barella is not happy with Declan Rice as he piles into a challenge but the ref decides to keep his cards close to his chest. England carve out a chance through Foden and Bellingham, who work the ball to Kane. That will probably be a free kick for England right on the edge of the area. Free kick to England a fair way out. Saka was very slow to get back there from the left wing back position and Italy will no doubt have spotted it. What a double save from the keeper, first to deny Rice and then Kane on the second attempt. A wonderful goal from the 22-year-old, his fourth for his country on his 14th cap. James fails to beat the first man though and Donnarumma gathers the loose ball. Italy carve out a 1-0 win to keep their finals hopes alive but England are consigned to the second tier of the Nations League.

Giacomo Raspadori fired Italy to a 1-0 win over England on Friday which kept alive their hopes of making the Nations League final four.

We needed this kind of victory against a top opponent," said Raspadori to Italian broadcaster Rai. Mancini has been trying to rethink his team after the humilation of not qualifying for this winter's World Cup, but his squad selection was hampered by a host of injuries to key players in the lead up to the match which forced to him to switch to a back three. They haven not won a game in this season's Nations League and are four points behind Germany, who sit third after losing to Hungary and will play a dead rubber with England at Wembley while Italy try to make the final stages.
