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.
I hate watching european qualifiers for me south american world cup qualifiers are so good so passionate full of shithousery u can how proud they are to rep thier nations bielsas uruguay play such good football
I always find the African Cup of Nations a more exciting tournament to watch. More teams that just want to have a go rather than scared of losing.
Adopting a nation to support is a slightly weird thing but always better to watch when you care about the result.
