Does the rest of Europe and the world dislike international breaks as much as we do in England ?
I was having this discussion with friends and I think it directly correlates with the quality of the league of your country.
For example Spain England Germany will dislike them as they would prefer to see their clubs playing , but for Croatia their national team is better than their club teams so they enjoy it.
I could be totally wrong so please let me know !
I’m Northern Irish and love seeing my national team, I think people find internationals boring because the draws are so skewed, making them almost not worth watching if your team is any good. Where we are seeded tends to get us drawn with one, if not two good teams per qualifying group.
The main thing that bugs me about our international breaks is that the national teams’ games aren’t broadcast free like the England games. Ours are on Sky if we’re lucky, even the South have their on RTE.
