All the places which I resonate with (USA, Canada, Pakistan) have crap intl fixtures so I have a question for people with a strong intl team: Do you enjoy your intl team playing beyond the big tournaments? Do you switch on and watch with interest?
My guess is the majority will say yes due to Wembley etc always being filled up but curious regardless
No, I only care during tournaments for international football. I just use the international break to catch up on other stuff because you get club football pretty much everyday during the season, so it’s a good time to take a break for movies, tv shows, video games etc
For England the general rule is that nobody gives a shit during qualification and then everybody goes all in when we get to the actual competition. Qualification is a given these days and there’s no joy in watching massive mismatches against smaller countries. The only exception is when we’re in a group with a good side and people will watch that even if it’s just a qualifier (Italy being the recent example).
