Top 5 international friendlies to watch

#3 Germany vs Spain (March 24)

Germany and Spain have dominated world football in the last decade

The last two world champions have done enough in the qualifiers to go into the main event in Russia as favourites for the elusive Jules Rimet trophy. But this fixture might go some distance at hinting whose better equipped to live up to that expectation.

They last met in November 2014, Germany and Spain have dominated world football in the last decade, sharing the winners' medal in 5 of the last 7 international tournaments combined. That should be reason enough to tune into this match and witness a clash of this stature.

Even if both sides have been drawn in relatively tough groups, the odds are very much in their favour to progress. And the match in Dusseldorf should be a precursor to how the fortunes in the respective camps turn out.
