From The FA
The FA's overseas committee are looking at their options for possible tours next summer with various countries keen to accomodate them. Having made the decision not to compete in the "Celtic Cup", England look set for a tour of the Americas with "hands across the sea" matches against Bermuda, Trinidad & Tobago, The Bahamas and Montserrat. An FA spokeswoman said "this is a golden opportunity for our players to recharge their batteries ahead of next Autumn's world cup qualifiers. And what better way than a tour of the CONCACAF region to further our good name abroad?" It is hoped that an elite squad of 45 players will make the trip along with their wives, partners and children. It is expected that all FA employees will be balloted as to whether they wish to make the 24 day trip. The FA are in talks with likely tour partners and sponsors, British Airways and Cunard, regarding flight logistics and accomodation.

That''ll be a struggle won't it. Don't worry about not qualifying, we'll go to the West Indies for a month instead as punishment!!

I was at Corinthian-Casuals 1 Colliers Wood United 0 last night in London Cup. Met Keith Blunt (been coaching in China for 9 years) who said to say hello to all at SUFC. He was delighted when I told him Sutton beat Dover.
