its only 'stupid pointless friendlies' for those addicted to either the Prem, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A.... for fans in the the rest of Europe and beyond intl. matches do mean something and its also a way for coaches to try new players and different systems...
maybe the countries whose fans turn their noses up at such 'riffraff games' should consider not entering in both the EEuropean Championships and World Cups, in the future...
