      These Saudis can play a bit, very impressed , but I suspect Germany are holding back.

      Looking forward to this one! Pretty young US lineup vs an experienced Brazil.

      Glad to see a bunch of the kids get some game time but disappointed to see Wood starting. He's not going to show you anything you have not already seen so give Weah the chance. Miazga has look really good and Yedlin with solid defending and good touches bringing the ball down from long crosses. Robinson is having a nightmare on the left.

      If Brazil cared to go out of 2nd gear it'd be 4-0. The talent gap is so large and visible.

      Liking the performances of Steffen, Miazga, Adams and McKennie (did not do much against MX before injury, though). Hopefully the start of a core to build on.

      Liberia president George Weah played in an international friendly for his country on Tuesday - at the age of 51.

      Weah, the first African footballer to win Fifa's World Player of the Year award, featured for 79 minutes of a 2-1 home defeat by Nigeria in Monrovia.

      Liberia arranged the friendly to retire their number 14 shirt, worn by Weah at his playing peak.

      The former AC Milan striker, sworn in as president in January, received a standing ovation as he was substituted.

      Nigeria fielded a reasonably strong team, including Leicester's Wilfred Ndidi and fellow midfielder Peter Etebo, of Stoke City. Ndidi's club-mate Kelechi Iheanacho featured as a second-half substitute.

      Etebo took the corner from which Simeon Nwankwo headed Nigeria into a 2-0 lead after Henry Onyekuru - on loan at Galatasaray from Everton - had scored the opener. The home side pulled one back with a late Kpah Sherman penalty.

      Twellman gets a bit worked up, but its Hercules Gomez that ruins it for me but i battled through it to watch the game.

      Clubs should be able to withdraw, their players, from meaningless friendlies. After all they pay their wages, at the end of the day.

      They can, but imagine the uproar it would cause with some players.
