A week ago, I wrote a droning, melodramatic screed about how boring the international break is and how international football is a waste of time and should be abolished. Well, the universe instantly proved
me wrong with one of the most entertaining and iconic weeks of international football in recent memory. I’ll accept your thanks in a comment or on discord.
Dortmund News
- According to Florian Plettenberg, Dortmund are linked to a 16-year-old striker from AIK in Sweden named Kevin Filling. Filling has played 235 minutes over 9 appearances in the Allsvenskan, with two goals. According to Plettenberg, AIK could make him available as early as this winter window.
- Also according to Plettenberg, Dortmund are interested in the 17-year-old Belgian defensive midfielder Nathan de Cat, who plays for Anderlecht. The move would probably cost around €25 million.
Other News
- There’s a strong possibility that Italy will miss the World Cup in 2026. They will have to win a playoff, first against Northern Ireland, and then against the winner of Wales/Bosnia-Herzegovina.
