International football should happen all together in small doses outside the season imo. It's an inferior product.

The Internationals 3 days before the season started were imo a complete fuckin joke no need for them.

Agreed Ted small doses is the way forward for international football.Almost everyone enjoys a big tournament in the off season even the not so ardent football fans show an interest.
I think an overwhelming majority on here would rather be watching city than their national side.The quality of some of the sides in the qualifying stages are so low its not funny and the football on show really suffers for it.
