            No interest at all
            Don’t know we were playing until o checked scores πŸ˜‚

            Makes you wonder who replaces Harry when he hangs up his boots

            Made me realise how poor footballers are in general and the dirth of talent in all areas

            We used to argue who of several in each position but no longer

            I must be getting old but it was definitely better in my day!

              What makes it all even funnier, my commentator reckons Engerland are ranked 4th in the world… does make you wonder!?!?

                World football as a whole is in decline so maybe not

                See Norway scored 12

                    Yerevan is at an altitude of nearly 1000m (3300ft). I’d imagine that had something to do with the performance. They’re still shit but the altitude definitely didn’t help.

                      Seems like international football is every month at the moment.

                                Okay, why did Chucky go to the hardware store for some oil. Cause his tools were feeling a bit rusty.

                                  Watch with one eye closed, internationals have lost their magic for whatever reason.

                                      Rover, it’s Essentially down to the Length of a Shut-out in Domestic Football as a Result of the International ‘Window’.

                                      Players naturally have to Commit, but then risk themselves of potential injury. Of course, this is comes with the territory, but with the Domestic League being Dog-Eat-Dog more than ever, Fans quite frankly will express the attitude more towards Disgruntle.

                                      In an Nutshell, it’s sheer Boredom and Disengagement.

                                        The problem with the Internationals is the groups are seeded, which means there’s only really 2 competitive games in each group, when the teams expected to finish 1st and 2nd actually play each other…. other than that, it’s just a procession of boring one sided football.

                                        If they want to make it interesting, even just a little bit, when pulling Buffy’s balls to make the group, don’t seed them, just have you 8 mini-leagues (or however many it is) and pull all the balls from one bag!

                                        You might get some “weak” groups, but you might also get some seriously strong groups… I mean, a group with England, France, Italy and Spain in it might blow the wind up my skirt.

                                          Get rid off the nations cup bollocks. Also for friendlies, should be a rule to play the back up players for 45 minutes, see how they got on.

                                            Friendlies don’t affect seedings or international rankings do they? If not then there’s no reason for coaches to play their first team. Unlike in rugby where friendlies do count so it’s harder for young/second string players to get game time.
