The March international breaks need to be scrapped like (though I have no idea where you'd move it given how overcrowded the schedule is), 9/10 you just end up with turgid games like this, especially if it's a big nation vs a small nation, players for nations like England are just half arsing it as their mind is rightly focused on the run in for their clubs, and for Latvia this game is everything for their players, so they give it their all but don't have the quality, and the result is just pure dull.

Honestly think they should play the games away from Wembley too. Atmosphere is pretty shite.

I’ve said before the best connection the England team had with the nation as a whole was when the old Wembley got pulled down and they played games round the country. Now back in the new Wembley it’s just another London game.

They have started to do that again in fairness, normally only Friendlies mind, there was the game at SJP last year, in the summer we have a friendly against Senegal at the City Ground.

Should just be nations league games whoever finishes in the top four of these leagues qualifies for the world's and euros and that would cut down on all the extra friendlies and qualifiers.

I still find it incredible that anyone actually watches the qualifiers at this point.  There is zero peril.  It must be a couple of decades since the last time they were interesting - and further bloating of the WC to 48 teams renders the whole spectacle pointless.

Old Wembley was almost 100 years old and never lost its charm or feel.. this one lost it 10 years ago.
