Carl Roberts, Iwan Roberts and Sam Vokes reflect on how Wales can recover from their World Cup disappointment, and what lessons manager Craig Bellamy can take into a tough set of fixtures in the Nations League in the autumn.

Almuth sagt: „Diese Play-offs haben richtig Lust auf die WM gemacht.“ Die Italiener werden das anders sehen, muss der viermalige Weltmeister doch tatsächlich zum dritten Mal in Folge beim größten Fußball-Turnier auf dem Globus wieder zuschauen. Roman sieht das auch an einer anderen Stelle anders: „Schweden ist Letzter in der Qualifikationsgruppe geworden, darf aber über den Pfad der Nations League doch noch teilnehmen. Das ist ein unfair.“ Almuth hebt lieber einige tolle Leistungen hervor, etwa die der Tschechen gegen Dänemark – oder eben der Bosnier gegen die Italiener. Bei der Squadra Azzurra hat dagegen Torhüter Gianluigi Donnarumma, „einer der letzten Superstars“ (Roman) im Team, für einen großen Aufreger gesorgt.

Sverige har i veckan dragit i gång VM-kvalet som förhoppningsvis ska ta landslaget till Brasilien sommaren 2027. Efter att ha debuterat i Nations Leagues finalspel ska Tony Gustavsson nu på allvar ta sig an uppdraget som svensk förbundskapten. När jag poddintervjuade honom i november talade han om lärdomarna från smällen mot Spanien i Nations League, om varför VM-kvalet var prioriterat framför Nations League-brons, om den generationsväxling som väntar landslaget för damer, om trycket efter Peter Gerhardssons medaljer, om vad Sverige saknat för att vinna en titel, om hur han ska tackla eventuella straffläggningar och om drömmen att lyfta EM-bucklan 2029. Dessutom berättade Gustavsson om den långa vägen fram som tränare, om att han redan för 25 år sedan hade som mål att bli svensk förbundskapten, om lärdomarna från tiden i Degerfors, om vad Hammarby-åren gav honom, om stoltheten över Tyresös framgångar som blivit missfärgade av konkursen, om framgångarna med USA:s landslag, om den hårda kritiken på slutet i Australien, om varför han inte vill svara på frågan om hur nära det var att han tog över herrlandslaget och om vad han kan lära sig av Graham Potter.

Jack Horgan-Jones and Harry McGee join Hugh Linehan to look back on the week in politics:· This week saw the European Parliament approve a € 90 billion package to support Ukraine in its defensive war against Russia. The loan was approved by a comfortable majority, but among those who voted against it were Sinn Féin's two MEPs, Lynn Boylan and Kathleen Funchion. The decision to oppose the measure put them in the company of the likes of Germany's Alternative für Deutschland, Hungary's Fidesz and France's Rassemblement National.· The Government has made a U-turn on the regulation of short-term lets here. After consultation with the tourism industry, Minister for Enterprise Peter Burke decided to change the previous plan to restrict such lets in towns with populations of more than 10,000 to populations of at least 20,000, this move would effectively lift the threat of regulation from potentially thousands of Airbnbs across rural towns here.· The mood was buoyant at the Social Democrat national conference in Cork with the afterglow of Catherine Connolly's presidential election win in evidence, along with polls showing the party has begun to put daylight between itself and the Greens and Labour, who occupy the same political space. Are they about to spearhead a united left movement ahead of the next general election?· Plus, sport and politics collide ahead of the Republic of Ireland's Nations League fixtures against Israel in the autumn. There have been calls for a boycott, but the FAI confirmed on Thursday that the matches would go ahead as planned. Would you like to receive daily insights into world events delivered to your inbox?
