Russia 2018 Finalists: International Friendlies (R)

So, both Japan and South Korea will dispute the 2017 EAFF E-1 Football Championship along with China and North Korea, playing on 9, 12 and 16 December.

This is Japan's squad:


And South Korea's:


They're obviously both B-squads, but it'll be interesting to see if they can get a new depth player or two.

 

Pfft we have played Uruguay twice and guess what we have won 1 and drew the other, I predict a draw against them again this time around.

 

I think starting vs Russia, where a lot will be done to guarantee Russian victory pretty much seals Saudi Arabia's fate. I'm pretty certain the winner (if there is one) of the Uruguay - Egypt game will go through.

 

Even if the refs screw us against Russia I believe we still have a good chance of going through I really don't see neither Egypt nor Uruguay beating us and if Russia plays dirty against us they will also do the same against Egypt and Uruguay so as long as Egypt and Uruguay tie each other I'm very optimistic about our chances.

 

Colombian media is reporting that a match against France in March is being finalized.

 

Nigerian media reporting Nigeria vs England in June.

South Korea 2–2 China
Japan 1–0 North Korea

 

Nigeria to play Poland in March.

 

Poland would also play South Korea in March. And Lithuania in June.

 

Playing South Korea is cool and all, but playing Lithuania? Meh.

 

I think it's becoming a kind of a tradition, just a few days before Euro 2016 Poland also played against Lithuania. The 2018 match is scheduled one day before leaving to Russia, probably as a good-bye to Polish fans.
Still, we were supposed to play Italy few days before Lithuania in June, but I guess that's not in the picture anymore. Nigeria & South Korea in March is a great option though, taking into consideration Poland's group rivals.

 

Iceland will play Indonesia tomorrow and next Thursday.

 

Got the dates wrong. It'll be on January.

On January 7, Sweden will face Estonia and on January 11, they'll face Denmark.

God I hope Colombia does play Portugal as their second march friendly...considering that Portugal doesn't have any announced- what the ********?

 

Argentina will play Italy in March according to ESPN.

 

from what is being said, Peru will play Croatia and Iceland in March.

Other reports state we might play Holland at home as a send-off and another game against USA idk for sure though.

 

Od choice given Peru is a likely 1/8 finalist?

 

Their star got FIFA to allow a 6 month ban instead of 1 year.
Paolo Guerrero!

Colombian media is reporting that Australia will also be a March opponent for Los Cafeteros.

Northern Ireland have announced they will meet Panama in Panama City on May 29th and Costa Rica in San Jose on June 3rd.
