Agree it is a pointless tournament, no way will players be giving 100% with new domestic seasons coming up.

The Portugal/Mexico game will be interesting though to get an idea of the formation and tactics our new players are probably used to., in fact looks like the one game on there with the most potential for attacking flair and defences that need to be savvy.

Are the big names playing in this tournament. 

Could be another tournament too for England to embarrass themselves with lack of commitment and preparation in.............

Think it's more of a tournament for the hosts to make sure their organisational needs are up to scratch for the World Cup the following year.

 

Surely they should be able to make those checks without spending money on a competition nobody is really interested in or tries in.

All about the money probably, worldwide audience for advertisers. Sign of the times, these days we even get meaningless friendlies (England) broadcast on national TV at peak times. :megaanguish:
