Does anyone really care?
The international games are now the equivalent of the FA Cup. They're a rather unwelcome interruption to what really matters - club football, be it PL, Championship or whatever.
That's because genuine football fans grew up following a club, not the fortunes of a gang of players who are cobbled together from all over. The England team sometimes includes players I have barely heard of. The other home countries, most of them are completely unknown to me.
I do not see how fans get excited/depressed/ecstatic about the national side, except those jingoistic xenophobes who would cheer on England at an international dwarf-tossing championship, just to get one over on those dastardly foreigners.
Of course I want England to do well in the World Cup. But how could all that replicate what I felt when Sergio scored THAT goal, or a hundred other magic moments of the club I have loved all my life?
