Are the England games friendlies Sheriff?

first ones a qualifier 2nd ones a friendly, that's a bit backwards isn't it

Shame, a serious post on the Chelsea board, not about Liverpool and no1 posts on it

yep...cant imagine who we'll field v italy in the pointless friendly...

Not a lot to discuss really Sheriff has said it all.

Could do without another game in Apr (if we beat PSG) but i would rather that than not be in the final.

Whats annoying is the next games are a friendly on 7th of june with qualifier on 14th unless im missing something...

Which begs the question whats the point in the friendly vs Italy after the qualifier, its not like they need to prepare the next qualifier or anything it just seems pointless. And more then likely will result in a few players getting injured too.

That's in your favour I guess, if it wasn't for the 3 injuries last night you'd have no one on the injury table

You are probably right, in fairness even Italy are playing a friendly AFTER a qualifier so maybe everyone is not just a silly English FA thing? They only have 3 days rest too.
