International Friendly

For all the negativity we often tend to view these games with , I must say it's not often you get to sit and watch two world powers like Brazil and Germany clash.
Italy v Spain is another cracking game I'm currently watching online.
I was looking forward to watching the England match agaisnt Holland tonight but you can't always get what you want , can you?
I understand the complaints over having friendlies three days before the start of the PL season but I'm pretty sure FIFA don't schedule their events based on what is going on in english football , especially when many of the other top european leagues are not kicking off for another 2-3 weeks.
