    Anyone who saw the Friendlies today, help

    Serbia 0-1 New Zealand
    -what the...?! My prediction is Serbia makes it 2nd in it's group, is this a sign I that they won't or is New Zealand a team that can upset in WC?

    Spain 3-2 Saudi Arabia
    -2 goals is alot to concede from a non-WC country when you are the #1 favorites to win it. what happened?

    Slovakia 1-1 Cameroon
    -Anyone got comments about this game?

    any comments about any friendlies games is appreciated guys thanks

    I only caught the 2nd half of the Spain match. Ultimately, they knew they could score at will vs Saudi, and I think displayed lack of focus because of that. The 2nd equalizer was terrible luck for Iker, it took a deflection that left him helpless. There was only a brief moment after Spain made mass subs where they didn't have total control of the match, so I'm not one to read too much into this scoreline.

    I watched Spain game in full. The second Saudi goal was a bit lucky but they should have scored a sitter in the first half when they beat the trap and squared Iker only to smash to ball in the side netting. It was only a friendly but Spain look real shaky in defense.

    Serbia just didnt show today. These freindlies dont mean shit to me though. If Serbia were to play New Zealand in the WCF, They would win.

    I didn't see the games, but I'm not too surprised by the outcomes. Friendlies are just games to test your squad cohesiveness and some of the tactics. Reserves should be also given the chance to play during the 90 minutes. A friendly mach is only a training session with public.

    no one cares or wants to get hurt
    its just for match fitness. The 'smaller' countries always try harder in these stupid friendlies.

    trust me.
