I think that i'd be correct in saying that until we actually get to the tournaments most people would rather watch their team in the Premiership than an England game. <BR/>For example how many premiership team supporters are happy when their players pull out of friendly squads - i know i am (unless it's Darren Fletcher) <BR/>The international scene is dying on it's arse, the last world cup, with a few exceptions, was terrible (especially for England). It was won by a very poor Italian team who beat an equally poor French team in the final. <BR/>In the old days when money wasn't the driving force behind the game then the international scene was the pinnacle for players and supporters alike but now with SKY and The Champions League all of that is out of the window. I bet the likes of Kevin Keegan, Bobby Charlton and Bryan Robson never missed England friendlies with mysteriuos last minute hamstring tweaks and the like.Dazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362265909588943334noreply@blogger.com
