Danizen Posted 17 May 2016 Posted 17 May 2016 Meh. Glamour friendlies always leave me cold. It's just a fitness exercise with a few reserves thrown in playing football at a pedestrian pace with a non-existent atmosphere. I can't get myself even a bit excited about the ICC tournament.
jbloggs Posted 17 May 2016 Posted 17 May 2016 Is Leicester City only playing one game in USA? I thought they would also play several friendly games.
Chester Dontlie Posted 17 May 2016 Posted 17 May 2016 I know these tournaments are like friendlies and teams often play their reserve squads etc but I have to say, just seeing Leicester name here among European and world elite looks and feels incredible. Happy days indeed
Guest Sharpe's Fox Posted 17 May 2016 Posted 17 May 2016 Meh as long as the Jock plodders from Celtic don't injure our boys I couldn't care anymore more than a friendly at Burton or Quorn.
