Question Friendlies

Debating friendlies...

Take an international friendly to Espagna or Sverige? or have a domestic friendly and avoid the $6k in travel expenses (in debt 150K about to be 90 after the guy on the wire sells)...

Oh, Will be having an international home&home with Icy (Espagna) in the following two weeks (12/3 and 12/10).

What would you guys do?

I'd look at int'ls on a case-by-case basis -- if you can get a good one, the benefits will more than outweigh the travel costs (e.g. the only int'l friendly I've played so far netted me more than my usual domestic friendlies).

I always schedule internacionals. If you're going to be away, just make sure that the guy has had his team for at least 2-3 seasons. If so, you'll very likely break even at least. The higher the division, the easier to judge, keeping in mind that countries like Sweden have 7 divisions, while smaller countries might only have 3.
