I must admit international football for me has been less and less interesting since Euro 96 and that 4-1 demolition of Holland. I find most if the games sterile and the only thing that makes internatiional football exciting is when the smallwer nations have a stand out tournament like Ghana at the last World Cup.
I would rather watch the Premier League over any international. So now we have another interuption for a friendly. Other than making the Football Association a bit opf money, and devaluing the England Cap by throwing a few new faces into the squad, what purpose does it serve?
Our players always end up returning tired, sometimes injured and it will only serve to disrupt preparation for upcoming matches.
The press with then rabbit on for days about how poor our side is or if we win will run down the performance as meaningless.
I understand the need for internationals, don'tget me wrong. But I just wish we could get rid of these friendlies after qualifying has completed until the end of the season. The football calender is busy enough as it is without adding more games.
