Internstional football is a massive load of bollocks

Maybe there’s some privilege going on. We live in a country with a high quality league system full or world class players and can support our team in some of the worlds most prestigious tournaments. If you’re in a country with a farmers league then your national team competing with other national sides is likely your only chance to cheer for a side in a high level game. The continental and world cups are really the only competitions that you can get excited by with some skin in the game. It’s understandable that such people have different perspective on the relative significance of club vs international football and that we have a very elitist and even imperialist view of the sport. But I agree, it’s ****.

Personally I’ve no problem with International football itself. It’s the desperate lack of cohesion between it and club football that I can’t stand. And the fact that the governance of each constantly want to add more and more fixtures to their respective calendars. Instead of fixing the problem, they just want to make it worse.

What if you live in Ireland, where we have a farmers league, but the national team is also ****e?

[BG1973]

Emigrate.

Nah, it's all bollocks and FIFA's way to justify themselves and make lots of money for themselves personally.

How about amateurs playing the international game instead of professionals? At the moment I despise most of the England side but if it was full of Stalybridge Celtic and Woking players then I'd have no problem supporting them. If FiFA was a non-profit making establishment that divided any income between the poorest nations then this would be nice too. If the men in charge were unable to earn, or profiteer, from it's existence then I'm all good with international football

But none of that would ever happen so they can **** right off

Playing a game that close to the weekends scheduled fixtures is just absurd. The South Americans and African teams seem the worst. Players are always coming in late from those nations.

Fabinho and Allison don't even ****ing play either, to top it off. They'll just be sitting on the bench while Jaws and Casimiro start.

Of all the cunts in the world

Dbf is really calling in the favours now.

[Shaggy]

He's done us v United at Anfield before and was good, but it just shouldn't be happening full stop. Whatever happened to not being allowed to ref teams from your home town?

[frank the tank]

that is a jokeshop......all they need now is Atchison on VAR

Total bull****.

Hopefully we still stuff these ****ers

[Shaggy]

That clown Attwell is on VAR.
