A lot of content coming now in this week's build up. my time zone means I'll have fatigue and with more matches I fear a bit of tournament fatigue anyway. I'll forget certain teams exist like Cape Verde or DR Congo.

Netherlands leading Uzbekistan 1-0 going into the half in their friendly.

Luck of the draw but that's mental Iran NZ get a game at the massive SoFi stadium in LA.

Didn't occur to me NZ had 2 games in Canada. Spain twice in Atlanta then Mexico.

10-man Netherlands got the job done 2-1 over Uzbekistan in their friendly.

France ran out 3-1 winners over Northern Ireland in their second of two friendlies prior to their World Cup campaign getting underway courtesy of a hat-trick from Michael Olise in the 43rd, 49th and 74th minute of the match.

Looking ahead to the weekend and I will be keen to see USA vs Paraguay on Saturday and Brazil vs Morocco early Sunday before the Socceroos opening game later in the day.

That US Paraguay game will be very instructive. Alfaro's Paraguay are very tough defensively while not exactly prolific going forward. If the US cannot break them down it may point to them struggling as the group continues and the pressure ramps up.

These are the Atlanta prices.

 

[Dinamo]

Hard to believe so many teams are going to be training at high schools for the World Cup.

DR Congo scoreless with Chile going into the half in their rescheduled friendly.

Ok so that’s not too bad - I was worried they were only going to be stuck with nuts
