Used to somewhat follow England in the past due to the familiarity with the players in the team. That all changed after joining a fan forum made up of people who are Kop season holders who live and attend games from Liverpool.

Over time I started to understand the tepid if not negative perception of international football — players going for internationals coming back injured screwing up the season, media-favoured players getting selected ahead of form amongst two of the main reasons.

Yeah, international breaks has not been something I look forward to most especially for the first reason.
