We've got a few international matches coming up next week involving the Home Nations. England play Scotland at Wembley, while Wales play the Republic of Ireland in Cardiff. Meanwhile, Northern Ireland are playing their rearranged World Cup qualifier against Russia, which was of course originally postponed amidst the heavy snow in the spring.

Goalkeepers: Carroll (Olympiacos), Mannus (St Johnstone)

Defenders: Hughes (Fulham), McGivern (Hibernian), Cathcart (Blackpool), McAuley (West Brom), D Lafferty (Burnley), J Evans (Manchester United), Bruce (Hull City)

Uruguay fly to Japan for a friendly on Wednesday of next week. Maya and Gaston both involved, I'd imagine.
 
Super Marian's first game as Latvia manager is away at rivals Estonia on the 14th.
 
Scotland U21s play England at Brammall Lane. One of the Scottish lads, Clark Robertson, is a pal of my son, and used to play together for the primary school. He plays LB for Aberdeen, CB usually for the U21s. Sunderland and Everton are sniffing around apparently - how chuffed would I be if he signed for Saints.
 
There's Portugal v Netherlands, hopefully with less than 16 yellow cards. Belgium v France sounds good. Italy v Argentina with the unofficial world championship to play for.
 
Flying back from New York just in time to head to Ireland v Wales....looking forward to it!Look out for my flag which says Oh Me Nerves on it!It will no doubt be a dreadful game with lots of withdrawals though. Probably 0-0
 
Saints confirm the following players have been called-up:

Artur Boruc
Dejan Lovren
Steven Davis
Gastón Ramírez
Lloyd Isgrove
Emmanuel Mayuka

Interestingly, no Maya for Japan. Wonder if we told them he wasn't fit or if they just decided to rest him?

Yeah I spotted that too. Suppose we probably did tell them he wasn't fit, he is a regular starter for them so not sure they would drop him by choice (maybe from the first team but not from the squad entirely).

Maybe Uruguay didn't buy it <laugh>
