Does the rest of Europe and the world dislike international breaks as much as we do in England ?
I was having this discussion with friends and I think it directly correlates with the quality of the league of your country.
For example Spain England Germany will dislike them as they would prefer to see their clubs playing , but for Croatia their national team is better than their club teams so they enjoy it.
I could be totally wrong so please let me know !
Catch 22.
So many Americans languishing at club level that it’s nice to see them come home and build up that false confidence. We have a Home & Home qualifiers this week for a spot in the Nations League Finals so there is more at stake, but the #11 team in the world SHOULD beat the #99 ranked team. So meh.
