Was the Spain-Peru friendly match a waste of time?

Question

The debate rages as to whether these matches offer anything substantial beyond PR stunts for national teams looking ahead at the World Cup qualifications or Euro qualifiers. Some say they're a missed opportunity for real competitive edge against tougher opponents, not just warm-ups with lower-ranked nations.

Answer

It's all about showing up and playing nice—friendlies are often seen as glorified exhibitions where players get to rest before big tournaments but offer little strategic value beyond friendly vibes.

Answer

Gives teams a chance to test out new formations, scout opponents' weaknesses, and build team chemistry under the radar. A waste of time? Maybe for fans looking for thrills, not so much for coaches planning ahead.
