Tonight sees a resumption of England's qualification campaign for the finals of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, which was interrupted by the delayed Euro 2020 this summer.
England pick up with three wins under their belt and topping Group I, which looks extremely winnable from a Three Lions point of view.
First, though, they must take care of what is probably the trickiest game of the campaign - away in Hungary.
Back on the horse...
What's been has been, what's done is done. Euro 2020 didn't end how most of us wanted it to, but we'll always have the memories of beating Germany at Wembley that afternoon, smashing Ukraine in Rome, the brief hope of Luke Shaw's opening goal in the final and dozens and dozens of renditions of Sweet Caroline.
As Gareth Southgate said this week, though, this is a new start; the first step on another journey that will hopefully build on what went down this summer.
As a former England midfielder once famously said, we go again.
