International Break...

[Hazzman]

Ok what about if the fixtures were originally arranged for the Saturday and all
international squads had to be named three weeks before hand bit like last season in L1. If everyone was aware that the game could be moved, there wouldn't be such a problem as they would wait before organising transport or hotels. It's when authorities just ad-hoc move games without no indicator of it being a possibility.

But surely it would be good moving weekday ballache of fixtures to Saturday afternoons where it's at all possible?

I think this is the larger problem. There are too many international friendlies during the season, especially at the begining. I don't see the point in them.

In November, there's a very good chance England will have a friendly against Brazil.....in Doha!

But what purpose does it serve, other than to bump up some Fifa ranking?

Wins votes for the World Cup bid. Game in Asia would please members of the AFC. Got North America covered after our jolly in Trindad.

Anyone hear Alan Green commentating yesterday, now I like the troublesome ulsterman and his outspokeness. He was just laying it on how pointless the match was yesterday, why on earth 67 thousand would bother turning up, why would the champagne brigade bother returning to their seats, the state of the pitch..... erm? Wembley being a waste of money certain inclusions in the squad etc etc....

His answer or maybe it was (Speak English please) Waddle, suggested having a match behind close doors against say Reading or Watford.

I think there maybe a few too many England games early on in the season, but whats the difference playing 90 mins behind closed doors and 90 mins at Wembley? Yes it's a bloody commercial hell hole, but if one thing from last night that was a plus is the confidence Defoe and some of the other younger players will have gained. Pulling on an England shirt away form a competitive match is great experience.

It was also painfully obvious that SWP is just not a world class player. It was his chance to shine in the 1st half and he was piss poor IMO.

I can't stand him, he's an arsehole.

Interesting how the Spanish and Italian leagues second divisions all played a fullish programme this week. Says a lot about our dependence on foreigners.

That, and the enormous amounts of cash both associations will receive from the Qataris. The only reason Brazil play pointless friendlies all over the world is cash.

 

[Hazzman]

Probably in one of the contracts that they have signed with some Arab millionaires. It's very rare they ever play a friendly in Brazil now.

Similar agreement to when we had Argentina in Geneva (one of the best ever friendlies ever).
