The World Cup has done a fantastic job of filling the Premier League void, but there is nothing quite like club football.
As the tournament in North America heads towards its climax and England supporters' disappointment sinks in, there is a Nottingham Forest fanbase waiting for the 2026-27 season with anticipation.
So, it has got us thinking: what are you looking forward to most about club football resuming?

We asked you which players you have watched at the World Cup that you think would be a great fit at Nottingham Forest.
Here are some of your comments:
Richard: Ayyoub Bouaddi of Morocco. Forest need a ready-made replacement for Elliot Anderson. Bouaddi reads the game well, has a range of passing and has a good engine. He tracks players well, he is comfortable dropping deep between the central defenders and he times his forward runs well.
Raymond: Ismaila Sarr of Senegal is versatile. He can play as a forward, winger or in midfield, and he would be an ideal replacement for Anderson. Maxim de Cuyper of Belgium has had an excellent season. He can play at full-back or in midfield and he would strengthen our defence and give us more options. Crysencio Summerville of the Netherlands is a creative player who scores goals. He could be worth breaking the bank for.
Lemmy: Forest should be looking to purchase a new winger and Antonio Nusa of Norway would be an incredible pick! His goal at the World Cup was truly special and we could get him for around £35m to £40m. He would be superb for us, with Callum Hudson-Odoi as an alternative on the bench.
Harry: I would say Sidny Cabral and Vozinha from Cape Verde after the incredible but unlucky 3-2 loss to Argentina. Both of them were a key part of the team scoring goals. I also don't think many clubs will be considering players from not so good teams.
David: Martin Baturina of Croatia. He is one of Europe's most overlooked playmakers. He has superb vision, a long passing range and a knack for threading impossible balls through defensive lines. He is a classic Croatian technician - intelligent, composed and tactically mature - the type who dictate rhythm, break lines with passing and glide through pressure with intelligence rather than physicality.

New Nottingham Forest boss Oliver Glasner has had his first day with the squad before their return to full pre-season training.
The 51-year-old Austrian, who will speak to external media for the first time since taking charge in a news conference on Thursday, told Forest TV: "For me, it is very important that it is exciting and challenging.
"I really believe that us, all together - the staff, the players, the fans, the leadership of the club - can be really competitive in the Premier League, which makes me excited."
The former Crystal Palace boss, who won the FA Cup and the Conference League with the Eagles, added: "This is a traditional club with a fantastic fanbase and a very ambitious owner that wants to take a step forward.
"The squad is very interesting as well, so those were the main reasons for me wanting to join Nottingham Forest.
"The club is already on a good run since promotion a few years ago and playing in the semi-final of the Europa League [last season]. It is important now to get some consistency and battle regularly for the top half of the league."
Forest finished 16th in the league in 2025-26, just five points above the relegation zone and had four managers during the campaign, with Glasner replacing Vitor Pereira, who was dismissed earlier this month.
"We know how competitive the Premier League is. It is one thing to talk about it, but it is something else to deliver. That is what we will start on now.," added Glasner.
"We will create a way of playing, an identity and how we want to deal with each other, which I think is important for the spirit and togetherness in the club and with the fans."
