I used to think it was really odd that mates who supported the rags weren't bothered by how the national team were doing in Internationals. I'm not quite as bad as those mates yet, but I'm certainly less bothered about England these days.Be honest, how many City fans are really bothered about the England team?
Been watching City since 1970, so certainly not a glory hunter, but it's always been a case of club before country for me. (Even prior to the media hatchet job on City's current England internationals)

I love my football but international football does absolutely nothing for me. I have had the games on during the euros but seen very few good games and not many have held my interest. No real sadness for me when England lost. Was disgusted how the media and fans treated sterling.

Always club before country for me too, mostly because tournaments are only every two years, but I do get behind England and would love to see the team show the world we can be great and win a trophy at some point, nothing wrong with a bit of national pride, I do think the influx of foreign players into the premier league has affected top English players coming through at top level, and think there should be a rule that more English players should be in the squads.

If England had a team with a philosophy and style of play then it would be much easier to get behind them. A better coach, with tactical nous wouldn't harm the case either.
