Pre Season 2024

Will Kane be back for these games or still on a rest after the Euros? I suppose it depends how quick we get knocked out!

Finals of the euros is the 14th of July.

If they have 2 weeks off after, then they might miss the flight out for the tour.
Should all be back for the 2nd game no matter how far they go.
 
The last time we played the same team twice in a row in friendlies:

vs Orlando Pirates:
1-1 - 19 July 2011: https://thfcdb.com/matches/2011-12/orlando-pirates-19-jul-2011
3-0 - 23 July 2011: https://thfcdb.com/matches/2011-12/orlando-pirates-23-jul-2011

The matches where Bongani Khumalo was discovered.


We did the same thing vs Orlando Pirates in 2007:
2-1 - 24 July 2007: https://thfcdb.com/matches/2007-08/orlando-pirates-24-jul-2007
3-0 - 28 July 2007: https://thfcdb.com/matches/2007-08/orlando-pirates-28-jul-2007

(Mabizela was signed on the back of the 2003 tour)

It's frankly disrespectful that we still haven't erected his statue at the stadium, people always bang on about Maradona in a Spurs shirt but the streets will never forget Bongani.

It's only vaguely related but his name does remind me of that really odd spell where Steven Pienaar played for us, decent player and a nice guy but that move definitely didn't work out.

Has anyone posed the question of which youngsters we'll see getting minutes and impressing in pre-season? You always hope there's at least one that gets lots of minutes and impresses, with the Europa League it's a great time to make an impression. Moore seems the obvious shout but it's got to be more hope than expectation at this stage considering he's 16 or something.
