They haven't faced each other since the 2019 World Cup in France but Scotland will finally lock horns with England again this Friday as they begin their inaugural UEFA Womens Nation's League campaign in Sunderland.
Pedro Martinez Losa's side head into the Auld Enemy clash full of confidence after winning their last four games and with over 40,000 fans expected at the Stadium Of Light, it is certain to be an occasion to remember for both sides.

We expect Pedro Martinez Losa will go with one upfront and that means the Angel City forward will battle it out with Martha Thomas and we are backing Emslie to start with forward currently in mid-season with her team, while Thomas still awaiting her league season to begin.

Two years ago, after yet another couple of nights of rioting in the banlieues, twenty retired French generals wrote an open letter to Emmanuel Macron, then about to run for a second term, warning that the divisions between communities and increasing “violence and nihilism” in France would eventually cause a social breakdown, with a risk of “chaos” leading to a “civil war” that would then “require” a military “intervention… in a dangerous mission to protect our civilisational values and safeguard

A lead character who is a government operative but also looks smokin’ hot in a red bikini! And that’s before we get to the script, in which a foreign baddie plots to nuke Las Vegas. Standing in his way is an elite tactical unit (the best kind) whose members say things like: “We’re supposed to stop the bad guy with the bomb”
