That's 4 games arranged for July and none for August. Still plenty of free dates available in August to pop over this side of the Irish sea.
I really hope these lower league teams conduct themselves in the manner of a "friendly" game, and not try to kick the crap out of us, as Honduras did against England, resulting in unwanted injuries just before the start of our competitive season.
4 games in 8 days means that there will be two groups. One team in Germany and one in East London/Essex. Can't see the first team being involved at Orient or Southend.
