EPL International break weekend

Like all other international break weekends, I am quite bored this afternoon without being able to watch the Reds in action.  On the plus side, there are a few quality international matches on the tele this afternoon, one in particular I’d like to watch is the Portugal match.

I suppose I can also go out and buy the new Fifa 10 game for xbox360.  Has anyone purchased this game yet that has an opinion one way or the other?  I wonder how it will stack up against PES 10.  The day that the Fifa games get incorporate the Champions League into their game will be unbelievable.

Scanning through a few news articles today I was very happy to hear about Michael Carrick’s starting role in the England World Cup qualifying match against Ukraine.  I think Michael has been a bit off as of late and this international cap will hopefully give him the confidence he needs to come back with a bang at Old Trafford.  With Owen Hargreeves’ return nearing, Carrick will really have to fight for his spot in the center of the pitch.

Best of luck to all the lads in this weekend’s fixtures, and please no injuries!  (Have a look at some United player photos on international break).
