don't think any of the friendlies will be broadcast ? others .... this should list them https://www.livesoccertv.com/match/finland-vs-netherlands/oi9#5242438
Most of our players should have ~20 days of June to rest up. For some, it could be their longest break in several years.
And I see we don't start preseason until July 5th, so it will be 25 days for those finishing friendlies on the 10th. And those who didn't get call ups will have a boatload of time.
Yeah, after the Spurs game, it looked like their day job was partying in the Middle East, only flying in for their Sunday League game on weekends.
