Indeed there will be, and a team of them. But there was a stark difference between the two teams fitness levels on Sunday which is why I was so shocked. I actually couldn't believe my eyes. That's when I looked back at our pre-season games where we had three run-outs against MLS teams and a game v Inter (because the Airtricity game was basically the EDS not the first team) who were in their first week of pre-season and only had about five first XI players.. leading up to the CS. So that's one game against a good and fit opposition in the whole of pre-season. For me, we need another, hence why I thought this International would have been perfect.SWP's back said:Something that suits my train of thought and agenda = interesting thread
Plus ca change eh? ;-)
Personally, your last line is correct Dave. It all depends on which game preseason was geared towards and no offence to Dan but we have an army of more qualified coaches and sports scientists formulating our training and as you say, it's hard to gauge the qua,ity of training from one session as you dont know what took place on the days before or after.

Screw internationals, they are a pointless carnival and the equivalent of F1 in motor sport.
F1 is great thanks.
