i wonder if the england team will organise a tour

[stephen cartwright]

of south america sometime before the next world cup in brazil?

dont think there is any current squad members who have experience of playing down there, unless becks and gary neville will be available when it comes around

or

will the FA just be happy with tours of dubai, thailand, singapore etc to pick up easy money?

wuld be good if they did , but i think the thailand tour tells you all you need to know

[stephen cartwright]

the copa america is on next summer and they allow invitation entries from nations.

they have invited japan but they may have to pull out. england should ask for an invite.

or in reality, i feel they will write off another world cup and pray they go far in a home world cup in 2018

we will do that no probs. it is virtually impossible to fail now with england ranked in the top 7, somehow in the world and the fall back of play offs if we ever came second in a group

iirc we did a tour of south america prior to the 1978 comp in argentina, then failed to qualify.

it seems years since england last played in south america
