I’m no fan of UEFA (and FIFA), but it seems as if they have really done all they can to make internationals a bit more interesting. There seems no feasible alternative tbh

[LordBendtner]

The alternative is to bin them.

Play all qualifiers in may and no interuption of the REAL football during the season. #FarmerFootballOut

[shamrockgooner]

Yes that would be an alternative. But not a feasible one.

[Calum]

That’s impossible hah

[Stroller]

One thing people over look with international football is that players want to play for their countries. Also sorry but this years world cup was far more interesting than any domestic or european club competition seen last year.

@shamrockgooner

So you don’t mean that FIFA are getting a percentage of the money the FAs are making from friendlies, just that the International game gets exposure and therefore thats good for FIFA?

I’m really not sure even that is true in all honestly given the general perception of international friendlies out there.

FIFA make their money off World Cups. I don’t think that would be less true if friendlies didn’t exist.

I’m not sure if they do make any money from it so you’re probably right.
But even if they don’t make money from friendlies they are obviously promoting the international game, and seeing the worlds best players in the same competition is directly promoting the biggest money spinner in football.
I can remember when England matches were a big occasion, even friendlies, which I’ve been to, but with all the best players now playing in the top leagues, it seems as if international football doesn’t have the appeal it used to.

My main point is, that whoever is making money out of it is ruining the PL season for the sake of unimportant friendly matches.

I can’t think of a single good reason to disrupt all the top leagues in Europe like they do.
All that happens is that some players come back injured, as we well know, and they gain nothing from playing in a meaningless game.
