We will have a look at England's match against Finland and the FA's plans to mark Harry Kane's 100th cap in more detail next, following couple of news updates from the Premier League and Women's Super League. .. . All kick-offs 19: 45 BST The opening two rounds of Nations League fixtures come to an end tonight. England, of course, play Finland at Wembley in their second game in League B Group 1, while Republic of Ireland host Greece in the group's other fixture. England, who beat the Republic of Ireland 2-0 in Dublin on Saturday, are behind leaders Greece on goal difference following their opening 3-0 win at home to Finland. Other key fixtures in the Nations League tonight include Netherlands v Germany and Hungary v Bosnia-Herzegovina. Wales' win in Montenegro means they are level on points with Turkey at the top of League B Group 4 after Turkey won 3-1 at home to Iceland. Muhammed Akturkoglu scored a hat-trick for Turkey as they cruised to

victory in Izmir. Benjamin Sesko also scored a hat-trick as Slovenia enjoyed a 3-0 win at home to Kazakhstan. That means they are level on points with Norway at the top of League B Group 3. Italy moved three points clear at the top of League A Group 2 as they built on Friday's win over France. Davide Frattesi and former Everton forward Moise Kean were both on target to give them a hard-fought 2-1 win over Israel in Budapest. Romania are top of League C Group 2 with a maximum six points after beating Lithuania 3-1, while Kosovo are joint second with Cyprus after beating them 4-0 away. France 2-0 Belgium Belgium Kevin de Bruyne says Belgium have to "be better in every way" after they were beaten comfortably by France in the Nations League on Monday. The Manchester City midfielder said he had let his team-mates know "what went wrong" during a charged exchange at half-time. De Bruyne conceded the side are not as good as they were in 2018, when they reached the semi-finals of the World Cup, but added: "Other things are unacceptable. I'm not going to say what. " Belgium opened their Nations League campaign with a 3-1 win against Israel - with De Bruyne scoring twice. But after starting brightly against France, they fell behind to goals by Kolo Muani and Ousmane Dembele. Speaking to Belgian broadcaster VTM after the 2-0 defeat, De Bruyne would not elaborate on what he said at half-time. "I cannot repeat that in the media but it has to be better in every way, " said the 33-year-old. "If the standard we want to reach is the best, but we're no longer good enough to get to that level, then you have to give everything. If you don't even do that, it's over. "If you stay with six at the back, there is no connection, " he added. "It is not about transition, but about people who do not perform their tasks. " Belgium head coach Domenico Tedesco said he could see why De Bruyne was frustrated with the performance. "He is our captain and has a huge winning mentality, so he can also react emotionally, " said Tedesco. Netherlands Netherlands coach Ronald Koeman criticised Steven Bergwijn for his recent switch to the Saudi Pro League and said he would no longer be considered for the national team. However, Koeman says Depay's move to Brazil will not close the door on his international future like that of his team-mate. "I disapproved of Steven Bergwijn's move to Saudi, with Memphis it can be different, " Koeman told reporters on Monday. "The level of the league in Brazil is different, so yes, he can still be part of the national team, but it depends on his fitness and if he reaches his level. " Dutch forward Memphis Depay has signed a two-year contract with Brazilian side Corinthians until December 2026 after leaving Atletico Madrid as a free agent in July. Depay played 31 times for Atletico last season and scored nine goals. The 30-year-old featured for the Netherlands at Euro 2024 this summer but he was left out of the squad by head coach Ronald Koeman for September's Nations League matches. He made his Netherlands debut in 2013 and has scored 46 goals in 98 appearances. Depay started his career at PSV Eindhoven in 2011 and later had spells at Manchester United, Lyon and Barcelona before joining Atletico in 2023. Right, moving on from Wales, let's round up the other main stories from Monday night, including news of a move to Brazil for the Netherlands' former Manchester United forward Memphis Depay and some strong words from Kevin de Bruyne following Belgium's 2-0 defeat in France. Wales After a draw against Turkey and a win over Montenegro, Wales currently sit second with four points in Group B4. In the next international break, Wales visit Iceland on Friday 11, October, before hosting Montenegro on Monday, 14 October. Montenegro 1-2 Wales Wales It certainly seems as if Craig Bellamy is enjoying his introduction to international management. The former Wales forward said that he didn't want the camp to end following Monday's win in Montenegro. "This camp has been incredible, " said Bellamy, after following up Friday's goalless draw against Turkey with his first win in charge of Wales. "Last night I was really excited about the game but also sad as it ends tomorrow. “Even with the squad of people, they’re all going to leave me and I don’t want them to go. It’s been such an incredible 10 days. “I really couldn’t be more proud of them. I love them. They’re such a great group and I’ve learned a lot off them as well. Tonight was all heart. ” Rory Smith Chief Soccer Correspondent for The New York Times, on BBC Radio 5 Live I think there is a public perception of Craig Bellamy that's not quite a bad boy, but maybe he's a bit of a pitbull. But, he's got a reputation for being really smart and studious. Charlie Adams was the under-21s manager at Burnley last year and always made a point whenever someone praised Vincent Kompany to include Bellamy in that. He was such a big part of that dressing room.

That's the other side to him. He does seem to have all the traits that would make him a successful manager. Montenegro 1-2 Wales Dafydd Pritchard BBC Sport Wales Craig Bellamy spoke of his pride after celebrating his first Wales victory in a match in Montenegro played in what he described as the “toughest conditions" he had ever encountered. Early goals from Kieffer Moore and Harry Wilson secured a 2-1 Nations League win in Niksic, where torrential rain ruined the pitch and made it difficult for players to simply stay on their feet, never mind play football. However, Wales dug in to earn Bellamy a maiden victory to go with last Friday’s promising goalless draw with Turkey in his opening match. “I’m extremely proud. I love this group, I really do, ” said Bellamy. “These are the toughest conditions I’ve been in. Nothing about coming here has been easy. You could have had a lot of excuses about this trip. The change of venue, the travel here, a bus driver who took his time, the conditions, but sometimes you learn from it. “There is a reason why this group have qualified for major tournaments. It wasn’t a football match. The conditions weren’t going to allow it. I couldn’t even wear trainers here. My summer bomber jacket is gone! “We saw after five minutes the pitch tore up and then it becomes about who can win the battle. It was close at times. If it was a boxing match, there were two teams out on their feet and we came out on top. Sometimes you take more pride from these wins. ” Click here to read more Montenegro 1-2 Wales Dafydd Pritchard BBC Sport Wales in Niksic Craig Bellamy earned his first win as Wales head coach in a frenetic Nations League contest with Montenegro played in atrocious conditions in rain-lashed Niksic. Kieffer Moore put the visitors ahead after just 37 seconds with an instinctive finish, before Harry Wilson doubled their lead with a fabulous 25-yard strike just two minutes later. As the constant downpour wreaked havoc with the pitch, the game threatened to descend into farce at times, but the chaos also added to the entertainment of a breathless encounter with chances at both ends. Montenegro captain Stevan Jovetic hit the bar with an outlandish effort from his own half, while Driton Camaj was denied by Ben Davies’ block on the line. Moore missed a golden opportunity to score Wales’ third in the second half as he blazed over from close range and, after Vladimir Jovovic hit the post for Montenegro, the home side finally got the goal they deserved when Camaj tapped in after 73 minutes. Wales were far from convincing in the closing stages but, as both teams tired and the quality of the match deteriorated like the pitch, Bellamy’s side were able to cling on for victory. The result gives Wales four points from their opening two matches in Group B4 of the Nations League, level on points with Turkey at the top. Right, moving on from Arsenal and Martin Odegaard to reaction following Wales' first win under Craig Bellamy, starting with a reminder of how the match panned out, played in atrocious conditions in Niksic. ..
