Actually, I don't think any team cares about these matches. Yes, they lost to a team by 0-4. So? This tournament is just basically a few national-friendly matches.
So, I don't think anything is going to take this tournament seriously at all. For any team to have any kind of bad performance here is not going to have any effect on the world cup performance, you know. These are just some friendly matches and the players are treating it like one.
Absolutely right.
It's basically a tournament of organized friendlies so it's literally just practice for all the teams. No way they're going to put all their effort in these matches and risk getting an injury and miss out on the real matches.
It's interesting that only Europe has this kind of tournament, I think it's because there are so many countries playing there.
