It wasn't always this way though. Pre tournament friendlies used to generate as lot of interest. I know I'm going back a few years but I remember Gazza playing against Czechoslovakia guaranteeing his place at Italia 90. |  |

I can’t recall many to be honest. Hungary just before Euro ‘96 as I was there, won 3-0 IIRC. Can’t blame the players but none of them want to pick up a knock, going through the motions somewhat. Excited for the Euros though, not the same as a World Cup but I love watching England in an international tournament. |  | |  |

I don't know why the kit manufacturers don't just make socks with hols in them rather than the players having to hack at them. |  |

I'm sure someone will "invent" some sort of garter that will become all the rage. Nothing wrong with rolled up newspapers if you ask me. |  |

There was a great pre WC tournament back in 1997 that got a lot of interest. I did get quite excited for that because it featured three of the best teams int he world - Frace, Italy, and Brazil. Also memorable for THAT Roberto Carlos banana kick! A friendly featuring mostly squad players against Bosnia, not so much… |  | |  |

First tournament where I’ve absolutely no plans for a single group game. Normally sorting out where to etc… I’ll probably watch all three at home! |  |

I think it's compounded by the fact there's only 1 or 2 starting the game who will be nailed on starters in Germany. It would have been interesting if we looked to try different things (formations / patterns of play) with a number of the first team players. |  | |  |
Not a single comment on the England game on 21:40 - Jun 3 with 2674 views | SitfcB | Meh. Boring friendly. Can’t say I’m even excited for the Euros, yet, usually buzzing, but all my attention has been on ITFC even since the season ended. International tournaments usually see us through the summer well but just want the season to start already |  |

Same, although may have been different if they weren’t Sunday 20:00, Thursday 17:00 and Tuesday 20:00 - always used to book days off for them but different priorities these days. |  |

Yep can’t wait. I’m already looking at hotels in potential cities on potential days for the first game if it’s away. ffs. [Post edited 3 Jun 2024 21:46]

Don’t think these games will decide anything. Southgate will already know who he’s taking. These friendlies are just money making exercises. |  |

Maybe you miss the mercifully short lived "Rous Cup" as well? |  |

Why is like that? Why do you seem to be upset? |  | |  |
