Thanks. I suppose I'm just hoping we get a home nation really.

soggy biscuit can see some drama taking place when next best team in group play against full strength France and draw only for 2nd next best team in group play against not full strength France (because clubs have important games coming up and hey, it's only a friendly for France anyway) and win


Why can't people understand that NO POINTS are at stake......the games that France play won't mean anything, other than them being a friendly.


exactly

this is the small group, ie each team has two games fewer as there are only 5 teams in it as opposed to 6 (or whatever). to fill in those free games, each team will play France twice.

Yeah, but what if France rest players for one of those games and play full-strength teams in the others? The whole thing is surely wide open to abuse?

How does that abuse anything?
