Fair enough, but as a cynic I'd contend that it might still not be worth it. Arry's right, the England job is like a poisoned chalice, they have to get paid a lot because there may be no more jobs for them afterwards.

Anyways, as fun as it is to speculate, some news! Not really Euro related, but rather International Friendly focused.

Brazil vs. Bosnia HG

Brazil have taken steps to ensure that their players are not flown huge distances to play in friendly matches ahead of the 2014 World Cup by situating the majority of matches in Europe, or leaving out foreign-based talent for the ones that are in South America.

This time, Robinho, Kaka, Alexandre Pato and Maicon have all been left out of Mano Menezes' squad, despite there being no restrictions on the number of foreign-based players he can use. It is a chance, then, for the young stars of Neymar, Ganso and Lucas to show once again why they should be the core of the attack when the World Cup rolls around in two years' time.

Key Battle: Leandro Damiao vs. Emir Spahic. The Internacional forward has made such an impression that Spurs have been linked with a €30 million bid in the summer and it will not be long before he gets his chance at a big European club. Quick and skilful, he has been tipped to fill the boots of the legendary Ronaldo, but faces a tough opponent in Spahic, who has done well since moving to Spain with Sevilla. A combative customer, the international break could do the Bosnia & Herzegovina skipper good as he came to blows with team-mate Gary Medel on the training ground only two weeks ago.
