The Close Season today moves into its Sixth Day...

Throughout the month of June players in England are given a break away from the game and only international, small-side, armed forces and scout matches are permitted.

Without any football for a whole month, TheFA.com is here to help you through every day in June with our guide, Close Season Encounters, pointing you in the direction of your daily dose of the Beautiful Game...

England boys keep going

Only a day after their first game of the Lisbon Tournament, England Under-18s give us another opportunity for some football this evening when they go up against the host Portugal in what will be a testing encounter.

Only last month, the Under-17s faced the Portuguese on their own turf in a thrilling European Championship Semi-Final match. A last minute equaliser for the home side set up a nail-biting penalty shoot out, which England lost, so tonight's game will give The older Three Lions chance for revenge.

The match will be back at the 1 Maio Stadium in Lisbon where Dick Bate's team beat Sweden 2-1 yesterday.

Also in Portugal's 1 Maio Stadium tonight, but this one's in the Northern City of Braga and not Lisbon, 'Big Phil' Scolari's senior side play Paraguay in a friendly encounter.

Poland are also in friendly action. They welcome Kazakhstan to the Polish city of Poznan, home of first division side Lech.

Tomorrow, on the anniversary on one of England's recent 'classics', we tell you how to create the glorious moment...
