    My vote is either Northern Ireland or Bulgaria, we may have to reschedule to the 13th but I don't think that would be a problem. They are good teams but not so good that we couldn't experiment with some younger players against I think these two teams are very good situations if possible. As someone mentioned maybe you could have Northern Ireland in Craven Cottage with a decent number of players from each nation on Fulham, or the game could be in Belfast, we could play Bulgaria in Burgas. Any other opinions or solutions? I strongly think we need to schedule a second game, does anyone else disagree? Some African teams would be a good option but traveling might be an issue, it would probably be best to stay in Europe. Our best option is a team in Europe who only has a game scheduled for the 17th and change our game to the 13th. Unless there is something better than that but that's how it looks to me from the quick search I did.

    How about a game with Norway's A-team as opposed to their C or whatever that was in Carson.

    What we'll see: closed door with FC Basel or other Swiss Super League club.

    What would kick ass: Israel in Tel Aviv.

    Nigeria in London someone else mentioned they don't have any games if they would play us in London, if we could get them to do it and get a stadium that world be nice. But no matter what happens we need to get a game against a decent team.

    Bulgaria would be excellent. The kind of team that would give us all kinds of trouble and that we need to learn to manage if we are ever going any where in any international tournement.

    Kanu, Utaka, and Martins would be one heck of a test for our backline. Maybe we'll see a comeback from jay-jay at hull city.

    The big question is: who's not playing in those two days? Nigeria is an option, obviously, though they may or may not want to play us. Any other reasonably strong opponents that can play us in Europe around that time? (Obviously doing something like playing a South American or Asian team away is ridiculous given that we're playing in Switzerland three days later.)

    How bout Uruguay?

    Also, the Czech Republic isn't scheduled for a Euro qualifier on the 13th. A game with them in Prague would be sweet.

    Uruaguay? The international thugs of football? That's like getting our team signed up for a street-fight.

    We could play American Samoa and see if we could put a goal in every 3 minutes.
