I like the major tournaments - qualification a waste of time with the very smallest nations barely Conference standard and others League 1/League 2, and the expanded tournament numbers.

I don't really care much for international football and probably won't watch much of the games. In fact I don't even know when England are playing.

The only good thing about it is having a free time to watch some non-league games.

I dunno.. I moved from hampshire to scotland so it's nice to see the saints lads get a run out in blue and a nail biter against the Faroes is like watching the FA cup second round games with a can of Tennants instead of a pint of 6X. What's annoying is that my licence fee gets me england games for free but I have to pay to watch scotland.. The perils of dual nationality (one more granny than Che) and yet another grievance for the nats.

They really should be paying you to watch Scotland.

I'll jump on the bandwagon for the major tournaments but I'm not fussed in the slightest about qualifiers and friendlies unless there is a particularly likeable Saints player playing like the Scotland game with Rickie Lambert a few years ago.  Think there was also one or two games a few years ago when Jay-Rod got a game that I might have watched too.  What a player he was/would have been without that nasty injury, by the way... 

Have no idea when or whom we are playing and won't be watching unless I chance upon the game when flicking through the channels or am up the pub having a few scoops.

England play Friday and Monday - So you are all going to have to find something else interesting  to do this weekend.

Hopefully Broja plays for Albania against England Friday, would be good to see how he gets on.

Hopefully scoring a hat trick in a 4-3 loss.

With JWP scoring all 4 from free kicks.

JWP pulled out the squad ill

Which will make it more impressive.

well I really enjoyed Scotland Denmark !! shame Stu got blocked right at the end for a third but the second goal was an all saints affair.

Che is now a national treasure up here and even Pie and Bovril  and BBC Scotland Off The Ball (which IMHO is about the funniest "fitba" radio show on the planet) are raving about him.

Really disappointed by San Marino. After yesterday it has become apparent to me that they are not better coached and set up better defensively than Saints after all.
