Summary
Jimbo, Rory Smith, Duncan Alexander and Jack Lang look ahead to the enigma that is the March international break.
The last 3 spots at Euro 2024 will be decided with fans from Wales to Luxembourg dreaming of a place in Germany. But could it be a nightmare for the host nation?
England host Brazil at Wembley in a friendly that marks Dorival Junior’s first game in charge and perhaps sees the Seleção as underdogs. We ask when were Brazil last Brazil?
Elsewhere, San Marino’s bad moment continues against Saint Kitts & Nevis. Nottingham Forest are deducted 4 points for breaching PSR, with potentially more deductions to come for Everton.
Plus Rhys Ifans, Ian Ormondroyd and Gladiators.
Produced by Charlie Jones.
