A Week of International Friendlies ahead

The club teams move off the stage and international football returns this week with a plethora of midweek games to whet our appetites. In addition to six Euro 2008 qualifiers on Wednesday, there are a ton of friendlies featuring teams from various regions from around the world.

In Euro 2008 qualifying, the big matches come to us courtesy of Group A where Poland is on top on Serbia, Portugal and Finland by five points. Poland have the round off which means that the three second place teams will be jockeying for position and hoping to close the gap.

The tournament’s other action this week features a game between the two bottom dwellers in Group D – Cyprus and San Marino, as well as a clash between Group F hopefuls Northern Ireland and Liechtenstein.

There is also the contest between England and Germany at the new Wembley Stadium. Both sides are banged up and without many key players, but even with that being the case it is always a fun clash when those two countries play one another.

Here is the schedule of action this week. All times are in GMT. To find a game on a computer screen near you, try here.
