But no worries, there is a plenty of it left from the bench!

Ireland and England clash in Nations League B on Saturday in Dublin, this is the group of my native team Finland, who visit tonight Greece tonight away and are going to have a challenging night!

In recent years, the Irish national team has been simply horrendous.. This year, Hungary was defeated in a training match in June, but this seems to be the only glimmer of light so far. In the European Championship qualifiers against France, Holland and Greece, there were hardly any chances of success and the place In Euro finals was really far away. Surviving the World Cup will also be a huge mountain for Heimir Hallgrímsson's squad. Absolutely impossible with this set of players.

There seems to be a slight generational change in the Irish roster, as Shane Duffy and Enda Stevens were no longer invited to the games at this stage. Gavin Bazunu is still on the sidelines for a long time, so Caoimhín Kelleher is the clear first choice in goal.

In the summer, England already made it to their second consecutive European Championship final, but they still couldn't bring football home. The sights are now set on the 2026 World Cup, but before then, there is some training to do in the Nations League with the new coach Carsley. The motivation for these games is not fully dead as winning the group could wash away the damage that happens in the World Cup qualifiers in theoretical scenarios. In any case, England, led by Lee Carsley, is a massive favorite in this group, and the group win should happen even with mediocre performances in this rather poor group.

Notable absences from the Three Lions in September include Kyle Walker, Luke Shaw, Phil Foden, Cole Palmer, Jude Bellingham and Ollie Watkins. Kieran Trippier ended his national team career in the aftermath of the European Championships. New faces include Noni Madueke, Morgan Gibbs-White and Tino Livramento. Have you even heard of all of them?

England will punish the neighboring island!

Even with the current squad of today, England should be able to defeat Ireland hands down There is enough attacking power in the upper part of the midfield even without Bellingham and Foden. But the most important factor is the new manager bounce as Gareth Southgate's turbulent era finally ended. There is competition of the starting-11 spots, and there is huge amount of class!

Mentally for Ireland this is big, but they simply have no players to challenge England. Or is young Evan Ferguson up to the task at hand?

As mentioned England miss some of their biggest guns, but does it really matter here? This is a match for players like Saka and Grealish to shine.

不过不用担心，板凳上还有很多空位呢!

爱尔兰和英格兰将于周六在都柏林举行国家联赛B级比赛，这是我的祖国芬兰队所在的小组，他们今晚将客场挑战希腊，这将是一个充满挑战的夜晚!

近年来，爱尔兰国家队简直太可怕了。今年6月，匈牙利在一场训练比赛中被击败，但这似乎是迄今为止唯一的一线希望。在欧洲杯预选赛对阵法国、荷兰和希腊的比赛中，几乎没有任何成功的机会，进入欧洲杯决赛的机会真的很遥远。从世界杯中幸存下来对海米尔Hallgrímsson的球队来说也是一座大山。这群球员绝对不可能。

爱尔兰队的阵容似乎发生了轻微的代际变化，肖恩·达菲和恩达·史蒂文斯在这个阶段不再被邀请参加比赛。加文·巴祖努仍将长期缺阵，所以Caoimhín凯莱赫无疑是第一门将。

今年夏天，英格兰队已经连续第二次进入欧洲杯决赛，但他们仍然无法把足球带回家。现在的目标是2026年世界杯，但在那之前，新教练卡斯利要在国家联赛中进行一些训练。这些比赛的动机并没有完全消失，因为在理论上，赢得小组头名可以洗去世界杯预选赛中发生的伤害。无论如何，由李·卡斯利(Lee Carsley)率领的英格兰队是这个小组的大热门，即使在这个相当糟糕的小组中表现平平，小组获胜也应该发生。

9月缺席三狮军团的球员包括凯尔·沃克、卢克·肖、菲尔·福登、科尔·帕尔默、裘德·贝灵汉和奥利·沃特金斯。基兰·特里皮尔在欧洲杯之后结束了他的国家队生涯。新面孔包括Noni Madueke, Morgan Gibbs-White和Tino Livramento。你都听说过吗?

英格兰将惩罚邻近的岛屿!

即使以现在的阵容，英格兰也应该能够轻而易举地击败爱尔兰。即使没有贝灵汉和福登，中场的上半部分也有足够的攻击力。但最重要的因素是随着索斯盖特动荡的时代终于结束，新教练的反弹。有11个首发位置的竞争，而且有大量的班级!

对爱尔兰来说，这在精神上是件大事，但他们就是没有球员可以挑战英格兰。还是年轻的埃文·弗格森能胜任手头的任务?

如前所述，英格兰失去了一些最强大的武器，但这真的重要吗?这是一场让萨卡和格里利什这样的球员大放异彩的比赛。
