Germany were relegated from Group A1 of the Nations League after Holland earned a surprise 2-0 win over France.

Goals from Georginio Wijnaldum and Memphis Depay crowned a dominant display from the Dutch in Rotterdam to end Les Bleus' 15-game unbeaten run.

Friday's result leaves Joachim Low's winless German side rooted to the bottom of the table and heading to League B.

Player to watch…

Tanguy Ndombele: Tottenham and Manchester City have been linked to the 21-year-old who has been in impressive form for Lyon so far this season. The midfielder made his international debut only last month when he replaced Paul Pogba in France’s 2-2 draw with Iceland, and will look to catch the eye again of potential suitors after the midfielder told L’Equipe this week that he could leave the Ligue 1 side in the summer.

Good evening folks and welcome to the Independent's coverage of Brazil v Uruguay, Wales V Denmark and Netherlands v France, where we'll be bringing you updates of all the live action from all three matches. 

The South American clubs are preparing to do battle at the Emirates tonight. There's lots of history between these two sides and it's bound to be another cracker which we'll keep you posted on. 

Meanwhile, the other two fixtures take place in respective Nations League groups with France sitting 1st in Group A, Netherlands just behind. 

As for Wales, they take on Denmark, sitting pretty at the top of Group B4 with two wins from three games, including that pummelling of the Republic of Ireland.

Which game are you most excited for this evening? 

Wales have a really youthful side, plus, Gareth Bale and Aaron Ramsey returns to the squad for this international. 

But World Champions France have so much talent in abundance that you never want to miss a minute of their games.

  ↵That's forgetting the game which kicks off slightly later this evening, with the 8PM start at the Emirates Stadium.

La Celeste have really been taking their warm up seriously....even training in the London Hotel! 

[16 November 2018 19:26 · Nathan Jacobs]

Only three players have more international goals since June 2016 than Christian Eriksen and that's despite not starting as the main striker. 

Is he the man to stop tonight for Wales? 

I could watch him play football alone all day. Joy to watch.

See? I didn't make it up!
