Title: Re: International Friendlies Post by: 4D on Monday, March 1, 2010, 23:57:22 why not?
Title: Re: International Friendlies Post by: Arriba on Tuesday, March 2, 2010, 00:03:01 because they are dull,shit and pointless
Title: Re: International Friendlies Post by: 4D on Tuesday, March 2, 2010, 00:04:55 Oh.

Title: Re: International Friendlies Post by: reeves4england on Tuesday, March 2, 2010, 00:23:24 Arriba does have a point. They're generally a bit dull. Won't stop me watching though as anything is better than essay writing! I thought about getting a ticket for the Ireland game seeing as I'm so close, then I saw the price.
Title: Re: International Friendlies Post by: 4D on Tuesday, March 2, 2010, 00:27:16 I went to the pre "France 98" game at Wembley to see England v Saudi Arabia............ :cry: 0-0
I also saw a friendly in 91 or 92 v France when Papin was playing. Not a bad game, we won 2-0 ;D Goals from G Lineker and A Shearer. Title: Re: International Friendlies Post by: Nemo on Tuesday, March 2, 2010, 00:31:11 Went to England vs Slovenia (or Vakia, buggered if I remember which) at Wembley last April with my girlfriend. All very impressive, but a friendly feels more artificial than even a normal England match does to me.
Title: Re: International Friendlies Post by: Rich Pullen on Tuesday, March 2, 2010, 08:32:19 I've only gone to two England friendlies in the past. One back in '98 - a 3-0 win over Portugal. The other was the 3-1 win over Hungary at Old Trafford four years ago.
I always watch them on TV - what can I say, I support England. Title: Re: International Friendlies Post by: thepeoplesgame on Tuesday, March 2, 2010, 10:46:41 The French call them Preparation Matches, rather than Friendlies, which I think describes them much better and gets across why they are important. Not that Egypt or Ireland have anything to prepare for...
