The rhythm of the season just get’s broken up some how. My Saturday habits are put on hold for national glory(\s). Maybe watching a game, following the goal reports, he soothing monotony of Final Score, Match of the Day …all just gone.

Surely it is one of the levelers of the game. If you are a big enough club to have international class players, in the past you had to accept that those players would be missing for part of the season. You have a big enough squad, manage around it. Chance for the lower reaches of the table to make up some ground. Chance for some youngsters to get first team experience.

    The level of International teams is clearly lower than the level in clubs. Of course, you have to compare what’s comparable: Man City will beat Argentina 9/10 times if the match was hypothetically to be played. And you can also see that the best performing national teams are the ones that have the backbone of the team playing together in clubs (Italy/juve 2006, Germany/Bayern 2014,…). So yeah, a part of being patriotic ( which is not watching football for football) and some games that can be interesting at quarter/ semi finals in a world cup, or Europe cup, it’s really not worthy to watch to be honest and a waste of time.
