54 Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 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.

54 Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 As for England, I don't think we have learnt anything in these last two games, both of them have felt like qualifying games under Southgate with the same sort of performances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Think Hendo is fine as an alternative to Rice, for someone to sit in midfield. Replace him with Wharton once he gets back up to speed down the line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

andycap Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBottle Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 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.

Not sure about that? Wembley was virtually half empty for many England games pre-Euro 96. It was also falling to bits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was more to do with england being shocking from 1990 to 1995.. the old Wembley was ready for retirement but it still gave you that excitement when visiting . IMO of course. Edit. 91 to 95, we should have won the WC in 90. Edited March 26 by Gaztoon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
