With the Russia World Cup just around the corner, the world is starting to get ready for the biggest tournament in football. This is reflected in a tasty fixture list for this fortnight's international break.
Despite the title 'friendly', there are some clashes on the schedule that you wouldn't be surprised to see played out again in the later stages of this summer's tournament. Furthermore, there is also the chance to watch two big sides that won't be out in Russia this summer: Holland and Italy.
It all kicks off on Friday, as Germany host Spain, France face Colombia, Argentina travel to play Italy, and England take on Ronald Koeman's Netherlands side. Amongst the action will be stars such as Thomas Muller, Andres Iniesta, Gigi Buffon, Lionel Messi, Antoine Griezmann, and James Rodriguez, amongst others.
Then, the fun continues with Cristiano Ronaldo's Portugal facing the Netherlands on Monday, and a trio of mouth-watering clashes on Tuesday: England-Italy, Germany-Brazil and Spain-Argentina.
Aside from the big nations, there are a whole host of World Cup sides stretching their legs in the next two weeks, including Belgium, Mexico and Croatia.
