The international break saw a number of British born or raised players in action on what we call Diaspora Duty.

Ghana sealed World Cup qualification, and reportedly a couple of former England internationals want in on the act, albeit to a mixed response. DR Congo and Nigeria's 2026 fates will be decided next month at the earliest, in a special CAF play-off round to hopefully make an inter-continental backdoor to the tournament. They may well meet the likes of Iraq and Jamaica there, who aren't quite where they need to be just yet in their respective regions.

Elsewhere, D'Margio Wright-Phillips scores on his Grenada debut, Jonjo Shelvey has a new teammate at Arabian Falcons, and Graham Potter twerks for the Sweden job!

We discuss it all over this half-hour episode. Continue the convo @intlclearance on X, Instagram and TikTok.
