England and Northern Ireland Begin Nations League Campaigns

Lee Carsley will lead England at Wembley for the first time as they face Finland in the UEFA Nations League, following a comfortable win over the Republic of Ireland. Carsley's squad features promising talents like Anthony Gordon and Jack Grealish, while Finland struggles with recent form. Meanwhile, Northern Ireland, under Michael O'Neill, is experiencing a significant transition with the retirement of key veterans, including Jonny Evans. Trai Hume will captain Northern Ireland for the first time against Luxembourg, signaling a new era for the team. O'Neill plans to rotate the captaincy to find a permanent leader as the team rebuilds.
