While world football fans wait for their favorite clubs to return to action, there are plenty of thrilling matches to watch on the international slate.

The week from Nov. 15 to Nov. 19 has been set aside by FIFA for international match play, according to the official calendar. This means that there is no league action, but instead the players get a chance to participate with their national teams.

These matches include the final set of World Cup qualifiers and some interesting international friendlies. 

There is a lot to keep track of, so feel free to ignore all of the mess and look here for the top remaining clashes of the week.

 

UEFA World Cup Qualifying—Second Leg



The second leg of a playoff is not always exciting. This can be seen in the inter-confederation matches for some of the final few spots in the World Cup.

Mexico earned a 5-1 advantage over New Zealand to put themselves in great shape going forward, while Uruguay has their bid all but locked up after a 5-0 result against Jordan.

However, each of the UEFA playoff matches could still go either way.

Sweden and Portugal might be the most fascinating one to watch due to the individual battle between Cristiano Ronaldo and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Ronaldo got the advantage in the first match as his goal led to a 1-0 victory for Portugal.

Of course, the return to Sweden can help provide them the boost needed to get a comeback victory.

Meanwhile, France are in danger of missing out on the World Cup for the first time since 1994. They lost 2-0 to Ukraine in the first leg and will need a lot more offense out of Franck Ribery and company to secure a bid.

Croatia and Iceland finished with a scoreless draw and will now have a winner-take-all match on Tuesday, while Greece has their ticket almost punched after beating Romania 3-1.
