Up against the equivalent of a Czech ragtag bunch of pub players on Monday - you can just see the headlines coming!

Lost interest in the national team a good while ago ,They do have a few decent players now one or 2 wouldn’t look out of place in an all time 11 ,but the national coach is fucking terrible ,really an awful manager only in the job because he gret his eyes out about being called a fenian bastard

It's a divisive issue - I still enjoy the international games though, but it's getting harder now with clubs pulling players at the drop of a hat. The standard has really declined since the inception of the megabucks European leagues and CL, that isn't a coincidence.

Back in the 80s and early 90s, the international game was the pinnacle.

Agreed.


A lot of the mystery and interest has gone since then, with many of the players you only got to see infrequently now often playing under our noses or readily available on tv.

Not a great example, as these aren’t superstars, but 3 of the Israel team from Friday play in the SPL. 
 

Now we get linked with a signing from a corner of Eastern Europe & half the forum knows the far end of a fart about him already.

Add in a national association which doesn’t do a great deal for us, a team largely filled with players from the wrong half of our polarised city, plus 22 years since the team did anything half decent & it’s easy to see why people would drift away.
