They will also play Chile during the March international break.
My goodness,
So much going on it’s almost impossible to keep up with soccer.
At least posting-wise.
A few games today. Not really worth mentioning. Great games tomorrow and Tuesday though.

So, my wife and 8.5yo daughter were on their way to someplace in Berlin. In doing so they walked towards an old man sitting in a wheelchair.
Suddenly the old man slumped forward in his wheelchair with his head towards the ground. This kind of startled my wife because she said: it looked like he collapsed from a medical condition or maybe you know, died. My wife and daughter continued going while looking back.
Thirty minutes later they returned again and saw he was still like that with people walking past doing nothing so my wife called emergency service on her phone. The emergency person asked if she tried to speak to him. My wife said no and they should come. Emergency said they will not come until she tries to speak with the old man to see if he responds. Emergency said we will tell you what to do. Touch him one time and ask if he is alright.
My wife touch the old man and asked are you alright. Suddenly the old mans head popped up with a pirates face from the movies with one tooth and screamed in a nasty way "WHY DO YOU DO THIS!".
My wife said it was the worst response she could have expected short of being physically attacked and quickly withdrew.
The person on the phone heard that and said: they not coming and that my wife did the right thing.

Russia continues its preparations for hosting the World Cup when it faces off against tournament favorite France on Tuesday.
Russia was dealt a 3-0 defeat by Brazil on Friday, is winless in its last four matches (0-2-2) and will be wary of another lopsided loss as it gets set to open the competition on June 14.
France, meanwhile, is also coming off disappointment, blowing a 2-0 lead to Colombia and losing 3-2 in Paris on Friday. The match gives Les Bleus the opportunity to simulate some World Cup conditions, with it taking place in Saint Petersburg.
Here’s how to watch the match:
Time: 11:50 a.m. ET
TV: ESPN Deportes
Live Stream: You can watch the match via the WatchESPN app.
