Police have cancelled the friendly between Germany and Holland after the stadium in Hanover was evacuated

What the heck is a "friendly". I heard Shepard Smith say it a hundred times during the live coverage of the Paris attack.

A “friendly” is a game that has no bearing on World Cup standings. You could lose all of your friendly games and it doesn’t matter. As long as you win your qualifiers, you can still advance in the World Cup standings.

Just guessing, but I'd say it is a match that is not part of a league season or a tournament.
