There are two things I hate about international duty (league break). 1. It's a bore... unless you watch the national team games. 2. The players come back injured.
Luckily, this time, only two players are injured, namely: Cristiano Ronaldo and Raúl Albiol. On the brighter side of things, both Benz and Alonzo are back in training.
An already qualified Spain beat Scotland 3-1 while Germany (also already qualified) beat Belgium 3-1, with Mesut scoring a beautiful goal thanks to a pass from Sami.
Cristiano's late goal was a good but otherwise meaningless goal as Portugal lost 2-1 to Denmark. Turkey beat Azerbaijan 1 to nil. However, if both teams want to play in the Euro, they’ll have to win their playoff series; Portugal has to beat Bosnia-Herzegovina and Turkey, Croatia.
France’s U-21 team beat Romania 2-0 (Varane got to play the entire game!!).
Marcelo saved Brazil from an embarrassment against Mexico as he starred in the 2-1 victory scoring the second goal. (Comments on Neymar's behaviour later.)
So this pretty much sums up the international week. Countdown to Betis!
