A report of yesterday's game will appear soon. Meanwhile, courtesy of the Thai Port blog - which is always good for news of the national team - here is the squad for the totally pointless friendly between Thailand and Leicester that is taking place purely as part of King Power's takeover of the Foxes. I can't imagine anyone is too thrilled about this match taking place. Leicester are less than a quarter of the way into their season and will most likely send a reserve side over to play, MTU play Army just twenty four hours beforehand and even the Leicester City ex-pats I know are not too fussed about seeing this match.
Presumably the idea is to promote Leicester amongst Thai fans, but the problem is that while Leicester are a reasonably big club with a long history, they have been out of the Premier League - and therefore Thai TV stations - for a while. One friendly match is not going to boost their fanbase by very much at all.
Hopefully someone will see sense and rest the MTU players.
