A Nations League window that redrew the international map
Four matchdays left the Nations League looking less like a friendly tournament than a form guide. Portugal became the first side to reach the quarter-finals, beating Norway 2-1 without the departed Cristiano Ronaldo. England produced the window's statement result, a 7-0 demolition of Croatia, while Spain extended a perfect run. Germany, under Jurgen Klopp, stalled with a goalless draw in Greece, and Wales slipped to a third defeat in four. With the window closed, the next fortnight's club fixtures will show which patterns were real.
