This is the first international holiday of the year and that many fans are uncomfortable in two weeks in the club’s game, especially in the starting line-up of the season. However, despite the lack of Premier League, La Liga and other games of other main clubs, there are many lines of stories that should be observed such as the 2026 squad for 2026 FIFA Men’s Clicks into Gear and European major nations in the UEFA UNEFA.
It’s a big week for Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo and the beginning of Thomas Tuchel’s rule as CEO of England, while the World Cup final has opened the door to some strange countries to take a huge step towards this week’s qualifiers.
So with the start of international games, here we present the players and countries that must be aware.
Tushel starts in England
Tuchel was hired by the Football Association for only one goal as England’s manager — won the 2026 World Cup — and the task begins with two games against Albania and Latvia, as the three lions have launched a victory campaign this week.
Although Gareth Southgate took England to the finals of the two European Championships, as well as before the 2018 World Cup in Russia, the world’s biggest clubs are still waiting for a winning first major men’s international cup since Former Borussia Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and Bayern Munich have a star who beat Chelsea in 2021 and knows how to deal with stars at a high level.
Can it be the key that will eventually open the door to success for England, or will 51 years end like another height defeat? The answer is likely to be at the World Cup next summer, but the start of the Kin-K-k group is very important if you enjoy the honeymoon at the beginning of the rule.
Hojlund vs. Ronaldo: Shame striker against goal
When Denmark and Portugal play in Copenhagen on Thursday in the first quarter-finals of the UEFA, it will be a clash between a striker who can’t score and the player who can’t retire.
Denmark striker Rasmus Hojlund has ended 21 goals for Manchester United on Sunday, but has not found a place in the Brian Rimer’s squad this week despite not finding a goal against San Marino in October 2023.
Meanwhile, Ronaldo is the top scorer in the Saudi league with 18 goals for Al Nasser this season, and will face Denmark, who are looking for an extension of international records of record men in the world with 135 goals for Portugal.
But the post chat between Hojlund and Ronaldo could be the most interesting element in the clash. In his first game in Old Trafford, Ronaldo was a young man’s feeling for United, and some advice words for Hojlund could help the 22-year-old player finally find some forms in a United shirt.
Heavy weight for Argentina
Argentina’s world champions are five points clear of the package and are in the South American qualifiers corridor, but Lionel Scaloni will face two big games against Uruguay and Brazil this week.
If Argentina beat Montevid on March 21 to be second in Uruguay before winning three points in Buenos Aires after four days against Brazil, the qualifying qualifications could be confirmed, according to the teams off the table.
Lionel Messi’s recent injury to Inter Miami means the 37-year-old will lose both games for his country during the international holiday. But even without the former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain striker, Argentina expects to sign both games as the best team in the world.
The defeat to Brazil, who fought in the qualifying and were fifth, endangered both Argentina and Colombia in danger of being absorbed in a war to support one of the six automatic points.
Pochettino has a chance to show our progress
Mauricio Pochettino has made six appearances in the Premier League and former Tottenham Hotspur, Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea Bosse have won five wins with five wins.
However, although the 2026 World Cup is only 15 months away, he will offer Pochettino and his team the first real test on Thursday at the Sophia Stadium in California.
With the World Cup final against Canada or Mexico bet, any defeat in the final four games will be a retreat to USMNT’s hopes to deepen at the World Cup, which will be hosted next year with Canada and Mexico.
The honeymoon is still going on, but it will be real from this stage, and anything other than winning against Panama and then winning in the final on Sunday will be disappointed.

Sudan faces decisive clash during World Cup campaign
Next year, nine African countries will be known for the World Cup and add it to five previous automatic sites will provide the chances of playing for some countries to play for the first time in the final. Sudan’s leaders can secure their first place and closer to a shocking qualifying qualifying if they beat second-placed Senegalese at home on Saturday.
Sudan are two points clear at the top of Senegal and face another game against South Sudan on Tuesday. None of the players in Europe and most of the games in Sudan, Libya and Tanzania – can be on the verge of qualifying if the results are going on.
Also be an eye on Madagascar and Rwanda, both of whom lead their groups and will join next week’s games. Madagascar, 116th in FIFA, was the first group top of the first group on Wednesday before Comoros and Ghana. They host Ghana on Monday when a victory will make it shock the World Cup qualifiers. Rwanda, meanwhile, is in Group C, which is also in Nigeria, fifth in the fifth place without winning four games so far.
Iraq is upset at the end of 40 years at the end of the World Cup
Iraq has played in just one World Cup final, in Mexico in 1986. But, 40 years on, the Asian champions are on their way to win one of the eight automatic points in the qualifiers in
Iraq will face a struggling Kuwait at home on Thursday before playing in a neutral place after five days. Both Kuwait and Palestine are in the second set without winning.
South Korea’s permanent World Cup qualifiers are the group’s leading group, but with two available automatic qualifying venues, Iraq can open a five-point gap in two games if they win the game, and Jordan lost away to South Korea on March

Manchester City gave Mercedes a gift on returning to Uzbekistan
Abdurkoodir Khosnov will be given to Uzbekistan on his return to Uzbekistan.
Iran on course for us in
Iran could win the fourth consecutive World Cup by beating the United Arab Emirates in Tehran on Thursday.
Iranians have lost their last 10 games and have won six of their last six games against the UAE, third in the Asian Group A, six points behind leaders. If Iran wins the game and then avoids defeating Uzbekistan — at home — next Tuesday, they will confirm qualifying for the 2026 World Cup.
Uzbekistan, who has never played at the World Cup, can also move closer to qualifying. A victory at home to the Republic of Kyrgyz on Thursday, with Iran’s victory in the UAE, Manchester City’s Abdukükür Khosnovi was put on the stadium in the touch of the World Cup.
All for playing in Aokland
One automatic place in the oceans will be decided on this international holiday, with New Zealand hosting four final tournaments, including new Caledonia, Tahiti and Fiji.
New Caledonia will face Tahiti in Willington in Willington on Friday, and Fiji will play in New Zealand at the same place four hours later.
New Zealand, led by Nottingham striker Forest Chryswood, will be a strong nomination to win the qualifier in Aokland on Monday for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
But there is still hope for second-placed Auckland with a second chance in the Play-off matches between the confederation. In March 2026, the two countries of the two countries of Concacaf, Asia, Africa, the Ocean and South America, will fight for the final two in the 2026 World Cup.
