Suppose the draw could look good ODM. I cant see me getting invoved in any of these games unless someone had any info that could make betting on an friendly worth my while. I don't keep up much with top level football in scotland but i believe that Scotland should have about 10 regulars out for Wednesday. Truth be told it's usually when Scotland bring in a few new faces that they seem to do ok. again though the draw would be the bet for me if i had to bet and i dont
As unpatriotic as this will sound, I really fancy Croatia on Wednesday night. My reasons are as follows;
a. Scotland are missing several crucial players due to *cough* injuries.
b. We never seem to do well in friendlies for some reason.
c. Taking a and b into account, Croatia seem to be a decent price and as we all saw against England, they are no mugs.
But...this is Burley's first game in charge and so he will looking to create a good first impression in front of a packed (I think?) Hampden.
So, all in all, Croatia seem a decent shout but tread carefully!
Elsewhere, Greece at around the 2/1 mark may be worth a nibble away to a Portugal side missing key players.
Croatia for me too Ally, there a very strong side and have a good record in friendlies having won all 3 of the friendly games they have played this yr, and with places up for grabs for the forthcoming Euro's i suppose a few of the fringe players will have something to play for.
Everything here is around the call up of Guy Asulin to the Senior squad although He's not expected to start . We got players in form for tommorow , including Barda (RC Genk) , Izhaki (RC Genk) and Awat (Deportivo) all in great shape in the past weeks . Even with the lowest ticket prices in the history (around 2.5$ for two games - U21 against Moldova and Israel against Chile) the stadium will not be full tommorow . We've got pretty record in International Friendlies but Chile are not mugs .
Manager Dror Kashtan loves the defensive formation but I think We can expect at least two goals tommorow . Over 2-2.5 @ 2.06 (Victor Chandler) for me .

eeeerr, if I understud this corectly, you are talking about Croatia and wining all three games this year, right? we played only one friendly game this year,but that game we played, well, yes it was friendly, soooo friendly that we allowed Holland to score three times.
we are such a good hosts.
I love all of you unpatriotic Scottish boys, and will go along with you, cause I'm patriotic (sorry). Usually I'm not, but now I am. Losing against Holland made us realised that we are not the best team in the world, (only second best) and I'm sure that our coach Bilic and coaching staff have done their home work and games like that one wont happend any time soon, it close to a heart attack, never saw them being so bad, all of them. So I expect Bilic boys to shape up and to play well and to make us forget about Holland and to our media to start writing about best team in the world (wankers) (media people, not players) Do not forget that Euro is getting closer and winning Scotland would be great for the atmosphere and huge moral boost, and some money in my pocket (sorry)
will be back with news from Croatia team
Does anybody have some links to possibly line up's info?
France A play Mali tonight so that should give you some idea.
The coach has a group of 39 players for both games so its will be whoevers left.....
Benzema (Lyon) & Thierry Henry are out. For the mo' there has been no leaks re; starting lineup.
By the way if you're wondering where this "non" info comes from check out "France Football" or "l'équipe" websites ................. they are in french mind
Portugal out: Ronaldo, Nani, Quim, Deco (and maybe Ricardo, small injury, young Patricio might start for the first time.) Greece out: Dellas
Do I hear draw??? Yes, I think I do... Might say revenge for Euro 2004, but do not think so, Greece will probably park Double decker in front of thier goal, and try with counters, just can't see Portugal winning, not that they have a bad team, but without Ronaldo, Nani and Deco
please, corect me if I'm wrong...
I'm sure I read somewhere that Turkey have a terrible record against the 'weaker' nations in friendlies, especially away from home. They travel to Belarus.
Turkey 0-0 Sweden Romania 2-0 Turkey Brazil 0-0 Turkey Georgia 1-0 Turkey Italy 1-1 Turkey
Luxembourg 0-1 Turkey
Macedonia 1-0 Turkey
Angola 2-3 Turkey
Saudi Arabia 0-1 Turkey
Turkey 1-1 Estonia
Turkey 1-1 Ghana Belgium 3-3 Turkey
Azerbaijan 1-1 Turkey Turkey 2-2 Czech Rep.
Turkey 2-1 Germany Bulgaria 3-1 Turkey
That's their friendly record since 2005. Away games in bold (some could be played at neutral venues) so not a great record P11, W3, D4, L4. Worth laying at a shade under odds on.
Not a bad idea it seems Napoleon Solo
Actually Turkish team has never been good at friendlies, even at home...
why the coach chose Belarus as the opponent is another question mark for me...The weather may be cold there and a team like Belarus will not give you a proper idea to test the team considering the matches Turkish team has to deal with...
Anyway I must see the line ups-but as far as ı know Emre's missing- before the match starts; maybe a live-betting; but seems you might be right at the end
26 mar - Intl Friendlies
