Xavi Simons and Denzel Dumfries gave the present on the scoreboard in a very quiet match for the tricolors.
Andorra surprised England
Without a doubt, the development of the match was the expected one, but what was out of tune was the result, to the point that, at halftime, the tie persisted.
Now, Harry Kane broke the zero on the scoreboard in the second half in a very lukewarm debut for the Three Lions.
Serbia and Albania disappointed
Due to the historical background between the two countries, the atmosphere was very spicy before the match.
However, the match left much to be desired. A lot of struggle, but very little play between both. The zero-zero was a more than fair result.

Are Commanders Right To Remain Unconcerned Over Terry McLaurin's Absence?
Are Commanders Right To Remain Unconcerned Over Terry McLaurin's Absence? originally appeared on Athlon Sports. No current player on the Washington Commanders deserved the success that last season brought more than wide receiver Terry McLaurin. Advertisement Since being a pick out of Ohio State in 2019, McLaurin has been able to excel despite having to team with some of the worst quarterbacks in the league throwing him the football. From Carson Wentz to Taylor Heinicke, the Commanders struggled to find a quality quarterback that could get McLaurin the ball. His production never wavered, though. Now, with Jayden Daniels as the star of the show in Washington's offense, McLaurin wants a new contract that pays him his worth as the team's top receiving threat. As a deal has not happened yet, the Ohio State product is choosing to sit out of voluntary workouts. Yet despite reports of a growing frustration on McLaurin's behalf, Daniels specifically is not overly concerned about the contract talks. Advertisement "Me and Terry have a good relationship outside of football,' Daniels said. "Obviously, he has to handle what he has to handle but that doesn't change anything, the fact that he is part of our brotherhood. We know Terry is working and everything. We have to get better and he knows he has to get better each and every day." Daniels's public support of McLaurin could help him as he looks for his new deal. Washington needs to make its top quarterback happy, and extending McLaurin is the best way to do that. McLaurin checking out is dramatic twist. But … A deal will eventually get done with both sides. It's why the organization isn't too worried about where contract talks are currently right now.

Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels is coming off one of the greatest rookie performances in NFL history. … Capped by how he got Washington to the NFC Championship Game for the first time in 30 years. Advertisement Where, if anywhere, can Daniels improve coming off a year like that? That is the question his offensive coaching staff will have to answer. Offensive coordinator and play-caller Kliff Kingsbury will be tasked with devising a gameplan that works best with his young quarterback's skill set. … While also preparing his for adjustments made by the rest of the league. Wirh the work Daniels has done, it's clear that the Commanders are thrilled with what they have seen from the former second overall pick. "Just watching him move around, he's not thinking as much; he's playing fast and letting his natural gifts kind of take over — and that's what we want to see," Kingsbury said. "So, I expect him to take a big jump." Advertisement A big jump? That's a major statement. One of the first tests for Washington this season will be to try and win the NFC East. That will force their rivals like Philadelphia and Dallas to play road playoff contests if it got to that point. The only way that happens, though, is if Daniels continues to impress as a top quarterback in the league. According to his play-caller, it seems like that is something Daniels is poised to continue to do.
