    The only good thing about watching England is that our first game at a tournament always seems to be on a Saturday. Always a mega piss up.

    Euro 2012 is literally the only time I can remember us not playing our first game on a Saturday since I was a kid. 2016/2014/2010/2006/2004 I'm pretty sure we started on a Saturday. Piss ups for days.

    Think we only won like 1 of those games though. Good stuff.

      To be fair all international football is dire. I wouldn't watch anyone play unless it was a tournament.

      Croatia were probably the best team at the last tournament to watch and they got nowhere. At the end of the day none of the English players are why people watch the Premier league. But I am not for any sort of restructuring to help English players play regularly. It would ruin the league and drive down the quality even further.

      Whilst it is nice to a local lad in the first team is nice. 99% of fans wouldn't tolerate him if he was average.

      I would say we could probably fluke a good tournament at some stage regardless.

        Spain are beating Leichenstein 1 nil.

        National team football in absolutely done. Turgid and boring and the players themselves don't really seem to care that much.

        Qualifying needs to be shortened. Some sort of seeded knockout tourney.

          They came good in the end.

          I had over 5.5 goals and was pulling my hair out at 1-0.

          There is simply no way I can watch these qualifying games without having a bet to make it even remotely interesting.

            I am always tempted by beating on thrashings.

            Spain must have slapped their **** in the second half.

              I reckon this has been the worst international break ever. Just months after a terrible tournament.

              What a waste of time. Even the champions of the Euros got routinely despatched by an average Swiss side.

              Proper rubbish. Even Sweden can't be arsed with it anymore their game against Holland was played in an empty stadium.

              It is remarkable that the English team which have garnered more support from their public than anyone manage to still shit themselves whilst under basically no pressure. They're a modern day marvel.

                The timing was as if some **** out there did it specifically just to p1ss everyone off.

                Season just about gets going and we have to suffer a ****ing horrific international break.

                **** it doe....few more days and we get repaid handsomely for our suffering....Saturday is gonna be a feast of sports. I trust we'll all be coming down with a bad case of man flu Saturday morning?

                Old Firm....for about half n hour, then the Manchester derby, Liverpool back at Anfield first time under our new stand against the champions and then GGG - Brook card. UFC 203 as the cherry on top of the cake later on into the night.

                :blow:

                  I sort of need to work on Sunday for the money but I think I am going to have to sack it off.

                  That horrific international break has indirectly taken money out of my pocket. I am chomping at the bit for the football this weekend.

                    What's wrong with Hazard.. we get it you don't like Mourhino

                    Lets not forget u played ur best season with him in charge..

                    He was only manager for 8/60 games you played last season in which you were ****ing dire

                    I guess that's his fault also?

                      Don't forget, the Friday night before we get Easter V Commey and Jacobs V Mora 2

                      Then the stacked Saturday you outlined plus what will probably be the best boxing card of the year in terms of action (on paper at least) with Caudras V Chocolatito and Soto Karass V Kamegai 2 (1st fight was ****ing epic) at 3 AM on Boxnation

                      And then Sunday night I've just scrolled through Sky Box Office and WWE has an event called Backlash

                      Massive sports feast for the junkie this weekend
