    I just realized that there is a full round of International games on a few days before the season starts.This is a crazy time to have a Int round of games its the first time I can remember having the games before the premiership starts,they normally have a Int round after 2/3 Premiership games.

    I hope we don't pick up any injury's.

    Is there South American games too? There just isn't words to describe the stupidity of the tit who decides all this. It's beyond belief at this stage

    Thought the international break after one week of the season was ridiculous but having one before the season even starts really does take the biscuit

    Bumping an old thread. With some sensible news.

    -----------------------------------------------

    Europe's major clubs and Uefa have agreed to drop the unpopular August date for friendlies from the international calendar, European Clubs Association chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said this morning.

    Rummenigge said an agreement had been reached with Uefa over the removal of the date, although Fifa have yet to sanction it.

    Full story to follow

    It's certainly a good idea.Having an international fixture before the domestic seasons gets
    underway made absolutely no sense.

    as much as i agree it was always a stupid time just before or a few days after the season starts why do we call them meaningless friendlies ? how is it any different to pre season games, don't international managers need a chance to experiment with different systems/ players as well

    Six Liverpool players featured in tonight’s friendly matches for their respective countries.

    Andy Carroll - Played 45 minutes for England v Italy which ended 2-1 for English national team.

    Daniel Agger - Captained Denmark and played 75 minutes against Martin Skrtel’s Slovakia with the match ending 1-3 for Martin’s side. Skrtel also played the full 90 minutes.

    Joe Allen – The new Liverpool signing played the full match for Wales against Bosnia & Herzegovina which ended 0-2 for Bosnia.

    Charlie Adam - Played 90 minutes for Scotland v Australia in a match which was won by Scotland 3-1.

    Pepe Reina – Has been named in starting line-up for Spain against Puerto Rico, a match which started around 20 minutes ago.

    Sebastian Coates - Was an unused sub for Uruguay v France in a goalless draw.

    Did not know about Pepe playing tonight. That is a lot of travelling to play in Puerto Rica.
