Ireland's Browne, who played the full 90 minutes at Wembley, has been isolated from the rest of the group ahead of Ireland's Nations League fixture against Wales in Cardiff on Sunday.

If only it was always this straight forward for Gareth Southgate and England. England have been granted permission by the Government to play against Iceland next week despite the Three Lions' opponents travelling from Denmark where there is a travel ban.

As it stands, the Iceland team are playing Denmark in Copenhagen on Sunday and will therefore be subject to a travel ban into the UK due to coronavirus restrictions, meaning they can't play at Wembley.

The fab four were rested from the outset in Portugal's friendly win over Andorra on Wednesday but all got some minutes under their belts after coming off the bench.

The Italian coach gave his reaction to the Nations League semi-final draw. Based on the Nations League overall ranking of the fourth-placed teams, the first-ranked team will face the fourth-ranked team, and the second-ranked team will face the third-ranked team.

Two ties are played over two legs, with each team playing one leg at home the higher-ranked team will host the second leg. The two teams that score more goals on aggregate over the two legs will remain in League C, while the losing teams will be relegated to League D.

Each group winner earns a spot in the semi-finals. If the group winner is already one of the 20 qualified teams, rankings will be used to give the play-off spot to another team of that league.

If fewer than four teams in the entire league remain unqualified, play-off spots for that league are given to teams of the next lower league.

This determines the four remaining qualifying spots for the European Championship out of 24 total. The first round of the World Cup qualification consists of ten groups.

The winner of each group will directly qualify for the World Cup. Then, the second round which follows a play-off format will be contested by the ten group runners-up, plus the best two Nations League group winners based on the Nations League overall ranking that finished outside the top two of their qualifying group.

The play-offs will be split into three play-off paths, played in two single-match knockout rounds semi-finals and finals, with the home teams to be drawn , from which an additional three teams will also qualify.

UEFA devised the tournament as a means to eliminate international friendlies — an aim that has been shared by many football clubs and supporters with the regular football season being interrupted with non-competitive international matches as part of the FIFA International Match Calendar.

Supporters more than most realise that most friendlies fail to deliver competitive and meaningful football. Now they will have the opportunity to see their teams play in more competitive matches, take part in a new competition and get a second chance to qualify for the major tournaments.

There will certainly be fewer friendly internationals and undoubtedly fewer meaningless friendlies. However, there will still be space in the calendar for friendly internationals — particularly warm-up matches for final tournaments.

UEFA is also keen that European teams will still have the chance to play opponents from other confederations. The format has been criticised as allowing weaker teams to qualify through the Nations League to compete in the European Championship finals, instead of qualifying through the standard qualification process.
