Mexico vs England; July 15th 2012, Marbella Spain (FRIENDLY)

Subnation

 

I'm pretty sure their u21 team is in the middle of qualifying for the u21 Euros, so I wouldn't be surprise if that is who we faced.

 

From what i hear, Britannia still rules the waves

 

Would be very surprised if this turns out to be an official England side

 

ojala que pongan a gio,fabian y aquino. Con oribe mas adelantado

 

Yep, we're in the middle of the close season. Pre-season training began only just this last week for most teams and the only English players due to play any competetive football for the next month are those involved with Team GB. Non of the England youth teams play again before September.

 

Anyone know who will be televising this game?
I checked Telemundo etc schedules and didn't see anything yet.

 

prolly televisa since they always do

 

It seems that this is a behind closed doors friendly against the Great Britain Olympic side, not England. As a behind closed doors game it seems less likely to be televised

 

Searched my tv through and through and def doesn't look like its gonna be televised but we are talking about something 5 days from now so maybe the guide will update...also didn't see anything on the Spain match up.

 

I thought they mentioned on the last game on Telefutra that all the pre olympic games were going to be on their network.

 

Pretty sure we're playing team GB, not England.

Amazing how every official news outlet keeps saying we're playing England's Olympic team when it's been known for quite a while that it won't be Team England but Team GB.

Huge difference.

 

there is no such thing. the media are being total idiots here.

 

So it's actually gonna be GB then? Cool.... wish we played Brazil or Uruguay instead of Japan in the last friendly.

 

Why don't we know more about this game?
It still isn't even showing in the tv listings.....

Says it's England..

Found this on another website

''El Tri will prepare for the tournament with friendly matches against Great Britain and Spain in Marbella and then Cadiz on July 15 and 18 respectively.''



I'm pretty sure it is Great Britain the question now is it even gonna be televised?

 

Im pretty sure i saw it on tv that all the friendlies were gonna be shown

 

So the GB team, which should be called the UK team since they allow NI, is being erroneously called the England team by the media. Mas pto...

 

Team Anglo?

 

Nah, then the Saxons would be miffed

 

England youth teams don't have any games scheduled until september, as a fellow english poster mentioned. It's team GB we're playing against.

My beef is with the Mexican media constantly regurgitating the notion that we're playing England's olympic team. There is no such thing as an England Olympic team.

 

anyone found out if they will televise I've been looking and looking, but nothing yet. Would suck big time of they don't televise it.

 

Except the England U-19s who played today

But yeah, it's Team GB and I can't work out why it's behind closed doors and not televised. This team needs all the publicity it can get.

Mexico will win BTW.
