Netherlandslost 1-0 at home to Iceland in their Euro 2016 qualifier on Thursday, leaving them with the prospect of securing the best third place finish spot to book their place in France.

Mathematically they can still top Group A, but boss Danny Blind admitted the runner-up place is their most likely route for progression, saying: "That's the option we have left."

Meanwhile, Iceland co-coach Heimir Hallgrimsson is (almost) raising a glass: "It would be very nice to have a beer now... but we need to keep our players' feet firmly on the ground."  

More accolades to hang on the wall for Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho. Here he is with his certificates from Guinness World Records. 

Mourinho's achievements:

• Most Champions League titles with different clubs (two)
• Youngest manager to reach 100 Champions League matches (49 years 12 days) 
• Most points in a Premier League season (95)
• Most games unbeaten at home in the Premier League (77)

There is concern over the whereabouts of former New Zealand All Black, external Terry Lineen , who has disappeared at Heathrow airport while travelling to see his son, ex-Scotland rugby union player Sean Lineen .

Lineen senior, who was making his way to Edinburgh to visit his son from his home down under, was last seen on CCTV footage making his way to the arrivals area of the main terminal having missed one flight and refusing to fly on a later one.

"We are out of ourselves with worry. Sean has flown down to London to find him," said Mr Lineen's wife Lynne.

"I have a wet bum," says Force India's Nico Hulkenberg over team radio. "It smells like petrol."  

The German is now back in the pits at Monza, where Lewis Hamilton is currently fastest from team-mate Nico Rosberg in first practice.

Conor Smith: Waiting to find out if that Sterling shot versus Italy (2014 World Cup) went in or not.

James Richardson:  Waiting for Spurs to sign a decent striker.

Ryan Pilcher:  Hibs not winning the Scottish Cup since 1902 and losing 10 finals since then including a 5-1 defeat to Hearts. Just saying.

Lee Selby is set to make the first defence of his IBF featherweight title against former world champion Fernando Montiel in his US debut on October 14.

The Welsh fighter put on a classy performance in May to take the title from Russia's Evgeny Gradovich.

The fight at the Gila River Arena in Glendale, Arizona, is the first bout since signing up with advisor Al Haymon and will be part of his Premier Boxing Champions series.

Considering the kind of money that got thrown around in the last transfer window on some players, how much is Germany forward Thomas Muller worth?

Top scorer in the 2010 World Cup, second top scorer in the 2014 edition in Brazil, and the scorer of five goals in three Bundesliga games for Bayern Munich this season, Muller has apparently attracted a bid from an unknown club this summer. We'll let Bayern president Karl-Heinz Rummenigge tell you the rest...

Right, time to get you involved...

When (because it surely is 'when' now) Wales take part in Euro 2016, it will be 58 years since their last major tournament appearance.

The punishment may be suspended after just two matches, but the club said: "For Zenit the ban of the club's manager is definitely a serious problem. The club will announce the decision on the case after discussing the situation with its head coach."

Villas-Boas has already reportedly asked the Russian club to release him from his contract at the end of the season but they refused.

If Wales are to make history and reach next year's European Championships - they'll have to repeat it. 

Israel stood in their way en route to the 1958 World Cup in Sweden, and guess what, the same team stand in their way this weekend.
