Westwood52 Am I the only one who hates international breaks ? As far as I am concerned it’s just an irritating interruption to the real thing:namely Championship football.
No, I don’t like them either as usually it’s pointless “friendly” games being played. Even the Euro and World Cup qualification groups these days are largely irrelevant for the likes of the top seeded 15 or so countries in Europe.
UEFA qualification for Euros and World Cup should be completely revamped into something along the lines of 15 or groups of 4 teams with just the group winner progressing. Then it’d be “spicey” and the games really mean something, plus we could go back to the days of internationals being occasional midweek affairs on a Tuesday or Wednesday and the interest would be a lot higher.
And to have the pointless Nations League competition being played given the current state of affairs is utterly ludicrous, it should have been scrapped and the “days” given back to the domestic leagues. But no, it has to be played and consequently club sides are facing a stupidly condensed domestic programme of fixtures.
