International Friendly thread (all games) - Wed, Aug 14, 2013
-
14-08-2013 5:04pm#1I imagine there will be dedicated live threads for Wales v Ireland and England v Scotland, but I thought it might be worthwhile to have a thread following the other internationals that take place today. There are a couple of interest.
Japan 2 Uruguay 4
That one's a result and it looks like it was a great game. Suarez got on the scoresheet for Uruguay and also provided an assist for Diego Forlan, who bagged himself a brace. Shinji Kagawa got one of the goals for Japan. Pick of the goals was a late free-kick consolation for Japan by Keisuke Honda. All goals here:
Chile vs Iraq
I'll mention this one because it's just kicked off on Eurosport for anyone interested. Cardiff's record signing Gary Medel is playing, as is Alexis Sanchez. Both these sides met in the World u-20 tournament earlier this summer and Iraq won that meeting. Chile currently lead 1-0 thanks to a brilliant goal from Eugenio Mena of Santos.
Sweden vs Norway
A Scandinavian derby so to speak and obviously we are battling the Swedes for second place so it will be interesting to see how they get on. It's the first time these two have met in eight years.
Austria vs Greece
And here we have the other one of our big rivals for the play-off spot. Doesn't look a very exciting game on paper, but the Greeks did do us in during a friendly in Dublin last November so we might learn a bit from this one on how the Austrians are shaping up.
Bosnia vs USA
This one is live on Eurosport tonight at 8 p.m. The Americans are in good form uner Klinsmann going for their 12th consecutive win, but Bosnia are going to be a tough test for them.
Germany vs Paraguay
We can't really call the Germans group rivals realistically, but it's worthwhile keeping an eye on how they're getting on. Joachim Low is set to field a strong side against Paraguay and it's the first time these sides have met since the 2002 World Cup when Germany won 1-0. This match is live on ESPN with kick-off at 17:45.
Italy vs Argentina
This looks a very tasty one. No Balotelli or Messi but seeing as Italy haven't beaten Argentina since the '82 World Cup, they should be well fired up for this one.
Switzerland vs Brazil
This one is live on BT Sport at 17:45. Scolari has picked the same Brazil squad that won the Confederations Cup and Brazil are looking to take their unbeaten run to 12 games.
Belgium vs France
Could be a great one, this. France's Geoffrey Kondogbia is attracting a lot of interest following his performances at the u-20 World Cup and he is the main squad now.
Portugal vs Netherlands
Looks like another tasty fixture. Big talking point around this game has been Van Gaal's decision to drop Sneijder from the squad as he doesn't think him fit enough or in good enough form.
Ecuador vs Spain
Always interesting to see how Spain get on. I'm guessing Ecuador might do a tribute to Christian Benitez in this one.

No mention of Estonia vs Latvia? :mad:
Sorry, I missed a few.
Sanchez just made it 2-0 to Chile with a nice goal.
Edit: Sanchez adds a second for 3-0. Feel bad for Iraq here the way this is going.
4-0 now. Nice assist from Sanchez for Beausejour. Not even half-time yet.
5-0 just before half-time. Sanchez set it up beautifully. I wonder if Barca are prepared to let him go because he's looking great, although admittedly the opposition know they are beaten now.0 -

The problem isn't so much Sanchez, it's that he tries too hard to play the Barca way and he looks entirely incapable of doing it on a regular basis.0 -

That's typical for Germany, remember the match against USA?

It was a B team against USA, that's right...which makes this one even more ridiculous 0 -

Also, where was this Robben in last seasons CL Final!
Then Ronaldo scores :pac:
1-10 -
Jozy Altidore hat trick:
It's inevitable that the minute he puts on a Sunderland shirt he will turn into a completely different player, scoring about 2 goals next season :pac:
In all seriousness though, if he puts in similar performances for us then we're on to a good thing. Hard to believe he's only 23!0 -
