Matching these part time minnows against major footballing nations in the qualifiers, makes a mockery of European International Football.

Erling Haaland has limped out of training while on international duty with Norway.
The Manchester City forward was filmed coming off the training pitch with an apparent knock only 12 days before the champions host title rivals Arsenal.
Haaland, who appeared to be holding his leg when he departed from the training session, has scored 18 league goals this season and will no doubt start for City when Arsenal visit the Etihad Stadium on Easter Sunday should he be fit to do so. Pep Guardiola will be hoping that proves the case and Haaland’s injury is not serious.
FFS! :-/

Totally agree with you(as probably do most fans regadless of who they support).
Get rid of stupid international breaks at weekends, just play midweek (as they always used to) Maybe have a couple of qualifiers at the end of the seasons if necessary where there is no Euros or World Cup that summer.
Definitely bin friendlies and that strange Nations League, which nobody seems to know how it works anyway!.

All international football should be played by amateurs

sure, only players from those countries love to play for their national teams.
it is impossible to see excellent players still doing it over 30 instead of spending their summers on some fancy sunny island. sure.

i don’t think it’s only that, people watch top 5 leagues with the epl being the most popular all the time.
my impression is that in france, germany, spain and italy (top leagues) people do care about their national teams. they’re bitter/angry if/when they’re shit but still. every italian person i ever met cared for sure.
it’s mostly english people and for example, international city supporters will moan too about de bruyne playing for his country cause they don’t give a flying f about belgium, and so on.
some qualifiers will be played during this break. i would prefer players having a break instead of friendlies. my team was supposed to play some “tournament” in abu dhabi, then it fell apart, then they moved it to egypt and now they’re switching venues and dates in egypt again. all for money…

Not so much getting rid of international football as such,but do away with qualifying for the major nations they go straight through to the tournament,and leave maybe 3-4 spots for the smaller nations who have hardly any chance of qualifying with the big nations in the mix and they go into groups to qualify..
