    Would it have made more sense to have had the Sweden game Saturday and the Spain game tonight?

    More chance of both been sell outs IMO

    No idea. Definitely not at work, though. Honest.

    Makes commercial sense, but suppose it depends on other team's availability. If they were both available on both dates, then it's a huge clanger.

    Why wouldn't it be a sell out? Because you wrote FACT at the end of your post?

    "We need to stage so many England home games at Wembley to pay back the stadium, but it will be not too long before we have done that." FA spokesperson.
