## Resource

This episode primarily focuses on a selection of tonight's European World Cup qualifiers, before moving on to some of the more glamorous friendlies that will be taking place across the next few days, including Brazil v France and USA v Belgium. The United States did not have to come through World Cup qualification due to being hosts but they have lined up a number of high-profile friendlies to warm up for the summer’s big tournament. With less than 3 months to go, the Americans finally have some momentum, after beating Uruguay 5-1, along with a pair of 2-1 wins over Australia and Paraguay.
