You would think logistically it would make sense for the 2 Columbian lads to have stayed in that part of the world after their tournament rather than lose that travel time returning to the UK. Originally posted by samprior Will the 4 England and 2 Colombian lads be joining up for the US tour?

If I was Columbian, settled in the UK for my job, I would anticipate that would involve wife & kids (Immediate family) I get the opportunity to travel back to my home region (broadly speaking, the America's) to take part in a competition during the summer months, a period when the kids are off school, I have some money in the bank & earn a relatively good wage, so what would I do ? I would take the wife & kids to see our extended family, as a pro footballer I am still young enough (as indeed is my wife) to have at least some living parents & siblings, aunts, uncles friends from the region etc etc - So staying on in that region for another week to take part in some matches in the USA is hardly likely to be considered akin to being conscripted - Originally posted by YT Are you serious?

With respect, I havent opined strongly about other people, I have suggested what I would do if I was in their shoes / was faced with a similar situation.

Originally posted by samprior Will the 4 England and 2 Colombian lads be joining up for the US tour? Personally, I doubt it. The 4 English lads have just had a 2 week break after a very long and hard season culminating in the Euro final. They will need some down time. Likewise the 2 Colombians. I think I read somewhere a few weeks back that the Colombians weren't due back until August (no date quoted) and I expect the same will apply to the 4 English ones. If I had to guess at a return date, I would say early next week to join the squad here when they return from the US. Then they'll need to get some pre-season in. I don't expect any of the 6 to start the Brentford game but they may be on the bench. Just my views. At the end of the day these lads are human beings not machines and they need to manage their bodies carefully - something Glasner, fortunately recognizes.

I'd suggest that the three considerations for these 'tours' are, in order of priority: 1. Commercial 2. Fitness 3. Tactical/Morale I tend not to read too much into them as number 1 there surely accounts for about 95% of all considerations. I just pray for them to be injury free and, as always, perhaps with delusion, dream and wish for the emergence of a superstar out of the youth. Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!
