International Friendly day and theres some good ones.

Germany vs. France
- Germany fielding a fairly young and weakened team without Marco Reus, Mario Gotze, Miro Klose, Bastian Schweinsteiger and Marcel Schmelzer.

England vs. Brazil
- I have a feeling that the English FA wants to make this a big game but the players dont care. We're either going to get a cagey snoozefest or Brazil are going to thump them.

Spain vs. Uruguay
- How are Spain going to handle a pretty tough Uruguay team without Iker Casillas, Xavi and Xabi Alonso?

Netherlands vs. Italy
- Of interest to Canadian fans, does Jon de Guzman permanently tie himself to the Dutch campaign today, thus ending the long, drawn-out saga that makes the Canadian FA consistently look like chumps?

Sweden vs. Argentina
- Ibra vs Messi. Only for a little while. Both coaches have stated that these two will likely only play half the game because of upcoming Champions' League matches. Now, will we see some wily tactics and see them play the opposite half?
