Shown up? They're friendlies, no one really cares except some fringe players.Will Southgate get shown up in the next two friendlies?
Typifies a lot of the idiotic negativity about England.Will Southgate get shown up in the next two friendlies?
Yes I would think the Brazil game. Friendlies are important and picked accordingly but in a context of trying and finding things out and of course the experience of different opposition. They shouldn't be used as a stick to beat the manager with, we've already qualified and the tournament will be the test.Friendlies they may be, but they will have been chosen to fully test the players. Both Brazil and Belgium are just behind England in the FIFA rankings so in theory should provide a similar test. Not sure which game Southgate will be "majoring" on? Normally two fixtures close together would be against a big team and a lesser one. Which game will his assumed 1st team play in? Brazil perhaps as they might be the more appealing fixture in view of their history?
Because it’s a more or less global international break and therefore no games in many countries and in our case a chance for the manager to get players together.Why organise two totally meaningless friendlies at this stage of the domestic season. Utter madness.
Not bad forwards tbf. But you're right, not the strongest Brazilian squad ever.shown up - by this Brazil squad!!! I very much doubt it - have you seen this and the latest Brazilian teams - woeful!
I am sure the likes of Kane, Stones, Bellingham etc ... etc.. are quaking in their boots!
