The problem with these games is that there is no sporting reason for the match to take place.  It is a contest which is only there due to financial concerns - therefore you are not going to get a proper sporting fixture

Cambridge United drew 2-2 with Espanyol the other day in the Absolute Sports Travel Cup. West Ham also played and for Steve-O, to keep him up to date on fixture prices, the price was 15 quid a ticket.

That's a proper sporting fixture and cheap as chips.

I realized I never made a point. If Cambridge can hold a la liga team and put two in against Shakhtar Donetsk then Sydney and the Nix should be able to put on a display.



FFS! It's a pre-season game!
A pre-season game in football, is the same as a pre-season game of football as played by Richie McCaw and Dan Carter, although I will admit , the latter's version of a pre-season game is Super Rugby.
What teams were sent? What is the level of commitment of the 'better' team?
 I used to live 16km north of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne and our local club would play 'Newcastle United', it would be a team of U21s and possibles...but that was just our local team. Who won or lost was meaningless. Decide if you want to go along and watch or not, please don't put any meaning into pre-season games
