Completely agree. National sides have no coherency, soul, tactic or a particular style. It is ad hoc and particularly tiresome when FIFA imposes its ridicullous sentiment to "have equal representation" and promotes refs from Papua New Guinea and other non-footballing nations to its key matches. Consequently, World Cups are often a farce and even the European Championships have become boring. Ant these are the cream. As you your self suggest, most qualifying games are beyond dull, and have no consequence what so ever. Who cares about the world cup? Particularly when it is "won" by the Italians or Germans. So for the nationalists who insists on identifying with eveything national, please keep to investing your irrational idenitification with your country in watching the International Song Contest. In the meantime every football supporter will tell you that real footie is played by their local and not their national team. Period. And please, please, please, no more refs for key FIFA games from Papua N
It really depends on who you support. If you are a fan of a cruddy team like Derby or Tottenham you need to escape to International football however good teams want to carry on with the Premier league

I fully agree, England is for championship fans. Arsenal fans should look at www.le-grove.co.uk

Internationals are only boring to people whose countries are performing like a bunch of blind, 90 years old women under the influence of some cheap wine(like England for instnace). But for some of us, our national teams still give us the pride and entertainment we need. So, the feelin is not really mutual!!!!

What an absolute pile of drivel, summing up exactly the lame attitude of so many Brits. National pride has fallen through the floor, kids aren't brought up to respect their country, their flag or their history. Adults have slipped into apathy as political do-gooders tell us it's offensive or racist to celebrate or national identity and so we're all growing up in a mixed race, multi-cultural society with watered down roots. Much of the population of the planet would jump at the chance to represent their country, and are proud of their nation, whereas our youngsters are either sat in munching on Mars Bars and playing Playstation, or stabbing and shooting each other. With such apathy towards our national team, our national game, is it and wonder that there's a shortage of quality British tallent coming through? We need to instill in our children that there's more to life than a Bentley and a double page spread in Hello magazine...

First, Spurs' troubles are more interesting than England's. Martin Jol cannot replace anyone he likes at any time, as McLaren can. He's stuck trying to make the bunch he has work at least until January. Also, Spurs would whip England, especially if Robbo was starting for St George's fireless dragons.
