With Ireland playing at home, N.Ireland in Malta and Egypt in Chile on Wednesday night we'll have a few battle and travel weary players for next weekend. Just hope all get through it OK.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egypt_national_football_team#Current_squad To be honest, I am basing it on Wikipedia. Steve Bruce will be a more reliable source.
I think the point that has to be made here is - what is the ****ing point?! Meaningless, pointless and completely ridiculous friendlies when the players have only just finished the hectic christmas/january schedule.
Agreed. Though I do understand the England one on this occasion, with it being the 150th Anniversary and all that. Other than that, its ****ing pointless.
It's all about the money these days--not the clubs they play for ! Any injuries to whoever, they won't be bothered. The FA I mean.
It may be beneficial if all three of our Egyptian lads get a run out together in the Chile match. It would help with gaining match fitness ( non of the lads have played too much recently). Brucie should make a deal with Bob Bradley.."This is how I see them playing in the Hull City team formation, set it up that way Bob and I'll guarantee they will be available for your future international games, injuries permitting". Need Bradley's phone number Steve ?
Here is the squad Gedo & Fathi in, whilst Elmo misses out http://www.kingfut.com/2013/02/03/bradley-names-squad-for-chile-friendly/
Bollocks. So not only did MON drag Elmo back to Sunderland for a while, he hid his bloody passport too ?
