Armenia, Slovakia, Sierra Leone, Israel and Cape Verde Islands are still available, but I think it's too late to schedule a friendly.
A month ago, a certain FA asked me for such a list, although in the end they didn't use it. My, how the tables have turned. Not long ago, I was still writing to FAs about ideal opponents for friendly games... I must be moving up in the world. :)
As Norway found out yesterday, Wales are certainly not a team you want to play :)
ReplyDeletei hope you requested money from the FA you had mentioned.
ReplyDeleteNo, I didn't.
