Hi,<br/><br/>The folowing sentence is taken from "English Grammar in Use" by Murphy (entry 78):<br/><br/><i><b>Scotland are playing France in a football match next week </b></i><br/><br/>Note that there is no preposition between 'playing' and 'France'... is it correct grammar?<br/><br/>Thank you<br/><br/>mus-te
