International Football

It bores the living sh*te out of me for the most part. It also gives us far too many Everton free weekends, like this one.

I'd sack the qualifying off and just have the summer tournaments every two years like now with a pre qualifying round or something for the crap teams like Scotland.

That'll do it I reckon.

Dont mind when the match is on but the few days before the thought of no Everton makes me want to die.

There's nothing wrong with admitting were tosh pal.

If would just be nice if England admitted it too for a change.

Ha ha, it's true though. Belgium are the future.

Belgium are gonna be ace.

That's what they said about our 'golden generation' and look what happened there. Belgium will go the same way.

I agree, I went out with a Belgian girl for a while, well 12 days to be exact. I reckon that gives me allegiance to the country.

Well with players like Scholes, Butt, Beckham, Gerrard, Lampard, Owen, Terry, Ferdinand etc etc it could have been so much better.

Butt and Owen are crap lad.

Out of the rest of them there is only Gerrard that was near the realms of world class I'm afraid and even then he didn't do it on the international stage.

The problem, as we point out time and time again, is the media and fans believing their own hype.

England are like the Newcastle of international footie, truth be told. Nothing more, nothing less.

Well they are now, but at the time both were class. And even now I think Owen is brilliant when he's fit. No other striker I can think of in the prem I'm more confident of scoring in a 1 on 1 situation. That team could have been really good. Then later we've had Cashley and Rooney etc etc. The players coming through have been good for a good number of years now. But for whatever reason we just dont seem to work as a team when it matters.

Anyway, at least we get to tournaments even if it is to ultimatly fail. FFS.

Too many of them actually thinking that they are The Golden Generation, and some are still in there FFS, and probably the ones who believed it then still think it now about themselves.
