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 !

    The football quality is worse (NZ), but the the hours are typically better. 6:00 am and 8:30 am are honestly pretty decent if I feel like watching, in comparison to the 2:30 am of last week.

    The annoying part is the games don’t feel like they matter too much half the time and if we’re in a cup the best teams we’re playing are like Tahiti and New Caledonia. Soccer Ashes might be back, so can get to watch us get a battering by Aussie every once in a while too.

    NZ National League is still on on the weekend if I want anyway so can watch great matches like Auckland City vs. Christchurch United, Eastern Suburbs vs. Cashmere Technical, Auckland United vs. Napier City Rovers, Petone vs. Manurewa or Wellington Olympic vs. Wellington Phoenix Reserves if I wanna watch some football. Final week with top 2 already determined though.
