The UEFA Women's Champions League is on a brief hold while the women's game is on international break. But that just means many of the great players from the UWCL are in action for their national sides in the UEFA Women's Nations League.

But before Dino and Grant get into some of the weekend's Nations League matches, Dino gives us his signature primer on the rules and the format of the competition.

Once Dino delivers a clear and succinct description of what we're watching, your hosts discuss the results from a few of the key Nations League matches, including England vs. Netherlands; Norway vs. Portugal; Spain vs. Italy; and Germany vs. Denmark.

Those matches featured stars galore, including some of best players in the UWCL: Olga Carmona, Salma Paralluelo, Lauren James, Daniëlle van de Donk, Ada Hegerberg, Valentina Giacinti, and more.

In the third full episode of Into the Channel, Dino and Grant discuss how Chelsea ran away with a 4-1 victory over Paris FC, but they're still looking up at BK Häcken in Group D after the Swedish side defeated Real Madrid.

In Group C, they cover Roma's aggressive 3-0 win over Ajax, and then jump to PSG looking out of sorts in their 1-0 loss to Bayern Munich.

Next, your boys talk about Group B juggernaut Lyon being level on 6 points with the pod's new Norwegian darling: SK Brann.

Finally, they marvel at Eintracht Frankfurt's excellent first half against defending champion Barcelona, only to see their lead vanish in a 16-minute span en route to Barcelona notching a 3-1 away victory.

In the second full episode of Into the Channel, Dino and Grant quickly recap every game from Matchday 1.

They saw Barcelona notch a dominating 5-0 win over Benfica. They saw Lyon score 5 goals in the first 24' vs. Slavia Praha. They saw Chelsea and Real Madrid draw 2-2 with some... questionable refereeing.

But they also paid special attention to excellent performances from Eintracht Frankfurt, Brann, AS Roma, BK Häcken, and Ajax.

Then, your hosts dive into what storylines and matchups they're looking forward to on Matchday 2, which will feature the time-honored tradition of Thanksgiving Day football.

In this episode, Dino and Grant discuss Lyon's domination of Slavia Praha, and Brann's quality win over St Pölten.

Form there, your hosts talk about what they expect to see when St. Pölten visits Lyon and Slavia Praha heads to Norway to take on Brann.

In this episode, Dino and Grant take a look at Group A, which features the juggernaut Barcelona and three competitive teams vying for second place in the group.

Your hosts discuss what happened on Matchday 1, then quickly dive into previewing Benfica vs. Rosengård and Eintracht Frankfurt vs. Barcelona.

In this episode, Grant and Dino discuss last week's compelling Group D results between Real Madrid vs. Chelsea and Paris FC vs BK Häcken.

Then, they look ahead at the next set of exciting fixtures that pit BK Häcken vs. Real Madrid and Chelsea vs. Paris FC.

In this episode, Dino and Grant take a look at two tasty Group C matchups. First, we have Paris Saint-Germain vs. Bayern Munich. Then, we dive into a sneaky good battle between Roma and Ajax.

Roma is coming off a great comeback draw vs. Bayern Munich, while Ajax is looking to keep its momentum after a 2-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain.

Your boys take a quick look back at both Matchday 1 fixtures, then dive into what they expect for both of these Thanksgiving Day football matches.
