Hmm ... I don't like seeing so many managers already agreeing for friendlies even though the election are still running ...

I know some managers are sure that they're gonna win, but every agreed friendly puts other teams and NT coaches under pressure and in the worst case managers who won't be elected anymore have to agree on friendlies. If their successor has other plans the whole system is messed up resulting in accusing managers of not keeping their words etc ...

Just my opinion.
(and not especially @langhe)

That was my opinion too, but when I saw other managers arranging friendly's already. I had to do something too since I'm quite sure about my re-election. It puts you under pressure indeed.

me neither, but I'd like to fix the 2 upcoming weeks ;)
that's all :)

Teams with same rank or lower please.

New Zealand needs friendly for next week

feel free to challenge Belgium for this week :)

my opinion about this:
I guess that 90% of the teams who qualified for the world cup will play with the same coach as they did last season. (Am I wrong? Don't know, it's just a guess)

So I don't see anything wrong fixing friendlies for weeks 2 and 3 among the best teams.

As far as I remember in the past it worked without agreeing friendlies before the end of the election.
No matter how sure somebody is that he's gonna win the election, imo it's disrespectful toward the other candidates.

But well, it's my opinion and it seems I'm standing more or less alone with it because many managers already agreed on playing each other ...
