Why the hell they are staging a friendly match after the World Cup and just after the Premier League season has started? Retarded

England will take on Norway in an international fixture at Wembley Stadium on Wednesday 3 September, it has been confirmed.

As England prepare to face Uruguay in their second game of the FIFA World Cup 2014, Norway will become the first opponents to visit Wembley following the tournament in Brazil.

It will be their first visit to London in 20 years, and is part of the reciprocal arrangement that saw England play in Oslo in 2012.

The two nations have met eleven times in all - the most recent being Roy Hodgson's first game in charge.

A solitary strike from Ashley Young was enough to give England victory as they warmed up for the European Championships in May 2012 at the Ullevaal Stadium in the Norwegian capital.

England have won six of the eleven ties and face Norway five days before they travel to Berne to take on Switzerland in the first qualifier for Euro 2014.

The fixture will also be the first home game of the newly launched England Supporters Club.
 


  • No worries, you don't have to break a sweat. We plain suck atm. Or...for the last decade...bring on your young ones...
 

Now I get it! This is so the new England manager can try out his team selection after Woy gets the chop.

Genius FA, genius....
