Does the rest of Europe and the world dislike international breaks as much as we do in England ?

I was having this discussion with friends and I think it directly correlates with the quality of the league of your country.

For example Spain England Germany will dislike them as they would prefer to see their clubs playing , but for Croatia their national team is better than their club teams so they enjoy it.

I could be totally wrong so please let me know !

    Same, I’m a US-based fan and only get excited for when the USMNT is playing meaningful competitive games, which during the season really just means WCQs

      Sorry friend but you really aren’t a USMNT fan if you think WCQ is the only thing that matters. Dig a bit deeper and see it all and you’ll care more

        I mean Nations League and friendlies are better than zero soccer whatsoever, but I’m not thaaaaat hyped to watch a game against lower level CONCACAF opposition if it’s not a competitive match (and even early round Nations League games are hard to get excited for).

        I don’t include Copa America/Gold Cup in here because those aren’t mid season games.

          Lol you are the most sane person to respond to me. I respect you and appreciate your answer. It is true but i guess i just enjoy watching young guys try and get their time in so we can actually get some momentum for 2026
