Laylabelle 9,535 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Can understand the need for friendlies but they seem to be at such random times in the season...guess no time is a good time mind.And with England espically...they dont seem to use it as a time to experiment or anything just a time to show how much crappier we've becomeAnd really Gerrard for Captain? Didnt exactly inspire or whatever at the world cup...just kinda flopped around with his daft hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zolayes 14,489 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Since both of you seem to be the mind of reason, tell me, how do you propose national teams work without friendlies?I shall ignore your offensive sarcasm and point out weakened International teams with unlimited substitutions are not particularly effective.And can you answer this : Why should Nations be able to take player and not pay anything. Acon took players for almost 6 weeks in the middle of the European season , AND they will do the same Next year . That is on top of friendlies and Qualifying games for it and for thenext WC eldo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friendlies are needed for the international teams to figure out their squads before they have to select the 20-men for the tournaments.. We might not like the timing, but they are important for the international coaches to realise how the team is working. As it is the number of friendlies will be halved from next season from 12 to 6.

Kojo 4,676 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I'm going to the England U-21 game today at the Riverside Stadium, should be good, shame Danny isn't there, but at least he got an England call up, hope he does well.Be good to see the Ox in action though, might even see Kevin De Bruyne, since they are playing Belgium, hope he tears England apart if that's the case LDN Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
