But beating the 2018 World Cup runner-up on home soil won't be easy and, even if the Danes pull it off, it will still be fascinating to see how France, which hosts If Germany plays like that again it could be both long night for the visitors and a preview of what they'll be capable of later this year. The Hungarians aren't among the European nations that qualified for Qatar, but they've been giant-killers during this Nations League. For them, prepping for the main event will be as much a priority as anything else this month. 25 in Amsterdam to reach the final four.

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.

UEFA Nations League: Schedule, how to watch, stream, TV, standings (NBC Sports)

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?

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.

Raspadori Strike Keeps Italy's Nations League Hopes Alive And ... (Barron's)

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.

Roberto Mancini believes a return to 3-5-2 is the best system for his players and a patched-up side bought into that view with a win they deserved on the balance of play. England midfielder Declan Rice, to Channel 4: "It's obviously disappointing. I think we are getting into the right areas. Friday's defeat in Milan marked a fifth game without a win and came through another uneven performance in which England struggled for any rhythm for long periods.

Italy host England in the UEFA Nations League at the San Siro, Milan. Wearing it on one of the biggest stages in the world and televised events will have an impact." Foden does precious little with a free-kick inside Italy territory. "He seems in a good place with his training," added the coach. Scamacca links up effectively with Raspadori again and races into space to the right of centre. The last four matches between these sides have ended in a draw. That would send his side to the finals in June 2023 and end Die Mannschaft and Italy's hopes of finishing top, as matters stand. "Italy will be more comfortable with their first half – they've had better territorial possession." Kane tries to take matters into his own hands, fizzing a shot well wide of the angle from distance on the right. Now England have a good chance of their own from a low cross inside the penalty area. At the risk of putting anyone off their dinner, Kane is bleeding from his mouth as he receives treatment. The result means England will join League B irrespective of their result at home to Germany on Monday.
