ARDA CUP Football 2012 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

To get warmed up for the tournament, squads always play some practice matches. This year there will be four rounds of warm-ups to work with. The teams made their friendly arrangements before the groups were decided, so some of them will find themselves matched up against teams that they'll play again once the tournament starts. Will that change the way they play?

Some teams will be interested in finding a rhythm and then not over-taxing themselves. Others will want to get used to playing with proper effort against quality foes. Some will feel more comfortable from the get-go and might be prone to laziness.... We'll see what happens.
