England Friendly Dates are ALWAYS unavailable

ive been england manager for 2 years now and the only friendly date i can ever set is 1 in june of each year. every other date shows up as unavailable when i try to arrange one, before ive even picked a team to play against or anything.

i see international updates of players in my club squad going off and playing friendlys but england cant for some reason.

anyone know why, or is experiencing similar problems?

I am noticing extremely small number of friendly dates for Poland as well, which is frustrating as we did not qualify for the WC and we are hosting the EURO so no games until 2012.

I get more than one friendly, but it is still very very very limiting, Like 4 friendlies a year and this is for a team that wants to play as much friendly games as possible (and we have already scheduled like 12 of them in real life).

I am playing patch 2 though, not patch 3.

That sounds like a pain in the butt! Now I know why I've never considered international management!
