Today sees the resumption of the Nations League, with the league stage concluding on Wednesday. A lot to play for in most groups.
GROUP A1 - Poland 7, Italy 6, Netherlands 5, Bosnia 2
Sun : Netherlands v Bosnia-Herzegovina / Italy v Poland
Wed : Bosnia-Herzegovina v Italy / Poland v Netherlands
Technically all 4 nations could win the group and all 4 could be relegated. Poland have it in their hands, and 4 points will be enough for them.
GROUP A2 - Belgium 9, Denmark 7, England 7, Iceland 0 (r)
Sun: Belgium v England / Denmark v Iceland
Wed: Belgium v Denmark / England v Iceland
With 2 home games left, Belgium are favourites to win this group. 4 points will be enough. Denmark have the H2H advantage over England, so if both win both games then it is the Danes who win the group. 2 Belgium draws and 2 Iceland defeats leaves us with 3 teams on 11 points.
GROUP A3 - Portugal 10, France 10, Croatia 3, Sweden 0
Sat: Portugal v France / Sweden v Croatia
Tue: Croatia v Portugal / France v Sweden
After a 0-0 in the reverse fixture, it is winner takes all in todays match in Lisbon. A scoredraw gives France an advantage, 0-0 makes goal difference the decider, with Portugal holding a 4 goal advantage.
GROUP A4 - Spain 7, Germany 6, Ukraine 6, Switzerland 2
Sat: Germany v Ukraine / Switzerland v Spain
Tue: Spain v Germany / Switzerland v Ukraine
While Tuesdays game looks to be the decider, Germany first have to end Ukraines hopes today. A draw in that and a Swiss win would really up the ante in the final games, although Spain and Germany fighting it out looks likely.
GROUP B1 - Austria 9, Norway 9, Romania 4, N.Ireland 1
Sun: Austria v Northern Ireland / Romania v Norway
Wed: Austria v Norway / Northern Ireland v Romania
After the disappointment of Thursday night, Northern Ireland have to pick themselves up in the battle to avoid relegation. Although, lets be honest, relegation would give them an easier time in the next edition and they would be better off going down
GROUP B2 - Scotland 10, Czech Rep. 6, Israel 5, Slovakia 1
Sun: Slovakia v Scotland / Czech Rep v Israel
Wed: Czech Rep v Slovakia / Israel v Scotland
Will the hangovers clear for the Scots and Slovaks after they both clinched their places at Euro 20 in dramatic fashion on Thursday? A Scotland win means the group is theirs, and they will be in the top Group in the next edition. 2 points will be enough over the 2 games.
GROUP B4 - Wales 10, Finland 9, Rep. Ireland 2, Bulgaria 1
Sun: Bulgaria v Finland / Wales v Ireland
Weds: Ireland v Bulgaria / Wales v Finland
Like their Northern cousins, Ireland may be secretly hoping to finish bottom here for an easier time next edition. The group will be decided on Wednesday with H2Hs between the top 2 and bottom 2.
The winners of each group goes into the Finals next October. There is also a complicated system where 2 teams will go into the World Cup Qualification play-offs if they don't qualify automatically through the traditional means.

I'm just a nightmare in general and I'm 35 now. Last work thing we had for Christmas, I got thrown out of the same bar three times. Was standing drinking my pint, place was bunged. Set it down and noticed somebody picking it up out of the corner of my eye, turned around raging bull, as you do and before I could say anything, I was being led out. Walked out the front door and straight in the side door. Lasted ten minutes. Did the same again, lasted another twenty then gave up.
It's like they didn't even prepare for somebody walking out one door into the next one. Muppets

Which pub was that? Might see if I can get the work ones to go there next Christmas? 🤣
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Honestly I've lost count of the names of them nowadays but if I'm not mistaken it used to be Dempseys, on Dublin Road. We started off at a hotel down the road drinking whiskey and all sorts and went there for food, then drinks after.
It was definitely on Dublin Road. This was a couple of years ago so might have changed names since. You know how it is about there.

Yes that's the one! Absolute crap by the way. I'm more into a bit of live music nowadays. Bring backs the days when we can do that.
