duncanidaho Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Should they come back? I used to enjoy the Home International Championship at the end of he season. A perfect chance for a manager to look at other players too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quickly Kevin Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 No. They had their time with a less crowded schedule and players need a rest. With the current gap in quality England would just easily win it with little fanfare. I doubt Northern Ireland v Wales draws in a classic game or much outside interest. Plus meeting every year takes the edge off meeting occasionally in qualifying or a major tournamet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edmontonowl Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 To resurrect it would be nice, but it wouldn't be what it was. The competitive edge has gone now, they'd be like friendlies like that Nations Tournament Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edinburghowl Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Players and clubs definitely don’t need more fixtures and it would get boring very quickly so it’s a 100% no for me. Better for us to meet in actual qualifying matches where it means something rather than stupid friendlies nobody will care about. The commemoration fixture between England and Scotland is a waste of time too. I actually really like the Nations League format. Far better competition and more important too. Our Nations League performances have gave us the opportunity to qualify for the Euros via a playoff and we’ve won promotion twice recently. Looking forward to us mixing it with the big boys next time and looking down on the rest of the UK teams too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owler66 Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Used to love the England v Scotland match at the end of the season some iconic moments in that fixture, Dalglish through Clemence's legs, Stewart Kennedy flapping at 5 England goals,Keegan and Brooking one two and the Scots trashing Wembley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerson Thome Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Maybe as a once a decade thing, but if we did this too frequently it would just become more meaningless low-intensity international games. I think they are remembered fondly because there was hardly any football on TV in the 70s / 80s, but that's certainly not the case now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beighton Owl 87 Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 I don't know where it would fit into the schedule with Nations League/Euro Qualifiers being in the summers we don't have big tournaments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
