But the international break has actually been pretty decent and if you havenât been following it, youâre missing out.
Itâs all good though, weâve got you covered âŠ
Some good news, at last, for Roberto Manciniâs Italy.
The Azzurri were in serious danger of being relegated from League A Group 3 (donât worry, we still donât understand it either) until Fiorentinaâs Cristiano Biraghi popped up with a last-gasp winner against Poland on Sunday.

That victory sets up an intriguing meeting with Portugal â who are currently top of the group â in November.
And how about this for passion?
Speaking of Portugal, they won 3-1 in a friendly against Scotland at Hampden Park on Sunday evening.
Wolves winger HĂ©lder Costa â making his international debut â scored the gameâs opening goal âŠ

Before Euro 2016 final hero Eder made it 2-0 in the second half âŠ
Eder scored for Portugal! Awesome day for Lokomotivâs players involved with national teamsđ€đ»Â âÂ
And how about this for a goal from RB Leipzigâs Bruma?
The hosts grabbed a late consolation with a pretty decent goal of their own âŠ
But it was too little, too late and afterwards, Scotland boss Alex McLeish aired his frustration at his sideâs rudimentary errors.
âYou expect the top teams to cut through you with some majestic skill and leave you trailing but we were the perpetrators of our own mistakes,â he said.
If youâre able to speak Scottish, youâll love this tweet âŠ
Serbia were held to a 0-0 draw by ten-man Romania in the Nations League on Sunday but it would have been a different story had Ajax midfielder DuĆĄan TadiÄ not taken one of the most horrible penalties weâve ever seen.
LOOOOL tadic u bum âÂ
That Riyad Mahrez effort at Anfield suddenly doesnât seem so bad after all.
There were a couple of Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers on Sunday too.
First up, Kenya won 3-0 at home to Ethiopia in Group F âŠ
Before Guinea Bissau narrowly overcame Zambia in Group K âŠ
But you knew that already, didnât you?
This award goes to Kosovo midfielder Milot Rashica, who plays his club football for Werder Bremen and scored this belter in his sideâs 1-1 draw with the Faroe Islands on Sunday.
Pow!
This one, from Montserratâs Spencer Weir-Daley in the Concacaf Nations League, wasnât half bad either.
Weir-Daley plays for Barwell in the Southern League Premier Division Central (the 7th tier of English football) and he probably doesnât score too many like that one!
