To me playing England before Belgium makes no sense at all ? How many will bellers risk playing against England in a must win game 4days later.!

UEFA make us play a friendly if we've only got one qualifier and the friendly has to be before the Belgium game because of the timetable.
England friendly makes sense because it's not a long journey obviously.

Still around 6,000 tickets available.

Well the squad players need a game so play them against England.

Imagine England will use it to play squad players as well.
I heard on the radio Pardew complaining they were playing us, but as mentioned by others it’s a short journey before an important qualifier. Pardew wanted someone like Argentina, logistically unrealistic though

Probably because he thinks we're not good enough to lace their boots. He obviously didn't watch them play Andorra if that the case.

Canada take on Wales in a friendly at the Swansea.com Stadium on Tuesday as they continue preparations for next year's tournament, which they are jointly hosting with the USA and Mexico.
Wales went top of their World Cup qualifying group after last Thursday's win in Kazakhstan, though they have since slipped to third thanks to victories for North Macedonia and Belgium.
But former Leeds United boss Marsch believes Canada are tackling a Wales side who they could meet again at the World Cup.
"Coming here to Wales to play against a very good team, a team I think will qualify for the World Cup, is a great opportunity for us to continue to grow and challenge ourselves to be better," he told the BBC World Service.
"We are excited. I know Craig Bellamy was a great player and is certainly a very astute and emotional coach.
"I know some of the Welsh players having coached them or coached against them. There will be no love lost but an appreciation and respect for each other as we get ready for the match."

Ref yellow card happy
Tue Sep 09, 2025 7:25 pm
Five yellow cards for players in this first half and one for the Canada manager, Jesse Marsch.
Strange for a friendly.
Tue Sep 09, 2025 7:28 pm
Wales very poor in midfield, not getting a grip in there at all
Tue Sep 09, 2025 7:28 pm
1-0 Canada
Brilliant free kick by Cornelius of Rangers
Tue Sep 09, 2025 7:34 pm
HT: Wales 0-1 Canada
Tue Sep 09, 2025 7:35 pm
Wales scratch side looking poor
A poor game so far,as Canada score from a freekick.
Goalkeeper to far right inviting ball to be hit to his left to stop ball.
If this is the best Canadian team they will be weakest ever home side in World Cup.
Tue Sep 09, 2025 7:37 pm
It's a friendly but Jones the book as given 6 yellow cards 3 each!
Tue Sep 09, 2025 7:51 pm
