International Football Days

[Dick Large]

International days are the bane of the game. Other than those taking part in these matches nobody else on the entire planet is allowed to kick a ball.

For the first time ever Dick I agree with one of your posts.

What is the point?

For example England (population 67,886,011) v San Marino (population 33,983).

Does anyone really want to see a mismatch like this?

Results today in World Cup qualifiers:-

Cayman Islands v Canada. 0:11
Mongolia v Japan. 0:14

No doubt many more to come.

Teams travelling all over the world for farcical mis-matches.

Surely if the game is a qualifier then it's necessary because we don't want to end up like the World Series where only Americans are involved,anyway it may be the only time that some smaller countries football fans get to see international football live so I'm all for it

Germany 1 North Macedonia 2

Probably the greatest result in their history and something to be proud of,keep the underdog qualifiers going I say 😎

Who remembers San Marino scoring on the first seven seconds against England when we already needed a bag full to qualify?

This is what football is about,,you can't exclude smaller countries from qualifying just because they aren't as big as other major forces in countries
