The international break has again disrupted our normal way of life for a bit. But we can't say that it was for nothing, as it threw up some tasty friendlies on Friday.
Brazil have begun temporary life without Neymar by easily dispatching Russia 3-0, winning the match in the second half with goals from Miranda, Philippe Coutinho and Paulinho.
England, meanwhile, stole the advantage against Holland through Jesse Lingard's 59th-minute opener. The Manchester United star has been splendid this season, so it was only right that he would get his first international goal during this particular break - and a winning goal it was too.
