It would appear that Theo’s Hat-trick and Nikki B’s goal and Clichy’s long awaited debut were the highlights of a dull ten days! The rest of the international performances were pretty weak!

Denmark
Bendtner scored to help Denmark beat Portugal. I am still trying to take a team with a player named ‘Quim’ seriously!

England
Theo Hat-trick, did you hear about it?

France
There were 7 Gooners past and present in the France squad against Serbia and only won 2-1, goals from Henry and Anelka. Nasri was dropped from the squad because of a knock to his knee but Clichy (debut, really?), Gallas and Sagna started. In the 2 games the French leaked 4 goals which is worrying considering 75% of their defence is our defence! Guess what? They struggled with corners.

Switzerland
The Swiss got turned over by a city, that isn’t really particularly impressive is it! Djourou started in defence while Senderos was playing badly for AC Milan who also lost to some random friendly team.

Spain
Despite setting up a goal for Villa, Cesc has stated that he needs to work on his defensive game. He only got 20 minutes in their second game.
