Now, I make a point of not watching them. Boring, predictable football played by any number of players many of who can't even begin to compete with the Bobby Moore's, the Bobby Charlton's and the Gordon Banks' of the world, who we still talk about with great fondness all these years later.
Yep, international football is one big turn off for me and an unwelcome distraction from club football, although even that is losing some of its gloss !!
