There is some fantastic soccer to look forward to this week as the likes of the English Premier League, Spanish La Liga, and the German Bundesliga make way for the return of the UEFA Nations League. Games are played in midweek and across the weekend, with our focus coming from Italy on Friday when England comes calling.
This group match is a replay of the Euro 2020 final that was played at Wembley Stadium in London last summer. That match went all the way to the end, with penalties needed after the pair couldn't be separated after 120 minutes of competitive action. Italy won that match and t he trophy following a stunning shootout.
Will this be a case of repeat or revenge when these two huge names from European soccer renew their rivalry? Italy knows a home victory would go some way to improving their young, inexperienced but ambitious side, while England knows that a win here wouldn't undo the hurt of the final, but it would provide a timely boost to team morale.
