"Friendly" Internationals

The SCORE from yesterday's game with the Netherlands does not really matter. What does matter is the RESULT. Perhaps I have confused you out there who are mere humans? The SCORE in this particular game is not important and was primarily the result of poor officiating, plus I'm not really sure why we even keep win/loss statistics for these types of games. The RESULT should be that the manager now has a better insight into who will be part of his final group of players for the games that will matter.
