Every year managers complain about this nonsense day to ave an int friendly and every year we have the same stupid game (first time in a while we've had internationals off for a match so its fun to join in with the band wagon complaint)

Keeping an eye on NI vs Finland to ensure we don't loose Davis to an int injury after Cork picked up something at the end of his GB experience

Oh joy, we get to play Italy again.

Except this time we'll be fielding a team capable of keeping possession, Xavick is back in the fold now!!

That's a very good point, poor old Pirlo won't know what hit him.

Germany vs Argentina should be good.

A list of the players who have cried off already?
Only to be fit 1 second after the final whistle. Yes I'm a cynic.

Walcott has a bruised thigh... It's a bit of a bump, that if you push on causes pain. What an absolute wimp.

Far too pampered these lot.

Liking the look of this side. Shame The Ox couldn't take part.

 

[Bucket]

I await England having a not so great performance and everyone then writing off every young player in the squad and forever saying they are the worst player ever as they've seen them have one bad game.

 

[Cosimo]

David Luiz, Ramires and Oscar starting for Brazil tonight in the match against Sweden.

 

[Purdy]

Sweet mother of god my ears.
