S6 Ep15: Why you should care about this international break (or the results, at least)
The international break is often a subject of derision, with some fans already pining for the return of the Premier League – but you should be all ears as Euro 2020 qualification reaches its climax.
This week’s Squawka Talker team, consisting of Sam Long, Will Hall and Tom Green, assess the state of play as the home nations attempt to secure a place at next summer's tournament.
But how on earth does qualification actually work now that the Nations League – and standard play-offs – are in the mix? And which big names are still at risk of missing out? We're looking at you, Cristiano Ronaldo.

00:12:15 – 00:16:45 | Can Wales qualify?
'Red Bull powered Hungary could trouble Wales.'
00:16:45 – 00:24:20 | Netherlands back in the big time?
