Early summer international friendlies are a mixed bag of oddities, with squads often at less than full strength as players deal with niggling late-season injuries. And with more important competitive matches looming later this summer, focus on the here and now can be a little lacking. That’s certainly the case for Spain and Colombia as they get ready to square off in Murcia, but that doesn’t mean that this won’t be a fun match.

There’s a lot of exciting and entertaining talents in these teams, and they both feel like they have a point to prove in their upcoming World Cup qualifiers in their respective confederations. Neither team has quite been 100 percent pleased with their performances so far — even the Spain side that hasn’t lost a match in 11 months.
So even though there’s nothing on the line here, there’s still plenty of reasons for both Spain and Colombia to perform well. They want to finish their qualification efforts strong over the next few months, and a top-notch performance here could help kick-start things in exactly that direction. These two teams won’t be backing down.
