I dont know about that, but every player/team/manager has a different motive in a friendly. Some players set out with something to prove, others mail it in and some coaches want to try new things and others want to get their systems sorted out.
And then theres the massive substitutions, you generally see almost 4 whole different sets of team setups in any one game.
Theres too much inconsistency even in each team to really take anything meaningful out of friendlies.
Hence the reason a lot of countries want to drastically reduce the number of friendlies played.
