International football is not for me

Red Card for International Football

I have always been a Cardiff City fans before the Welsh International team.

I have never had the passion for Wales as I have about Cardiff, but done get me wrong, I always want them to win and do well.  However, I’m basically a club man.

I love Wales, I love most everything about this great country, excluding rugby, no comment.

The big selling point about tonight’s international friendly, is see the world’s most expensive player, Gareth Bale, but it still won’t fill the stadium even with the reduced ticket prices, £10 for adults, £5 for oap's and £1 for under 16's.

I have been to some games mostly when the Home Internationals were round and some of the bigger games, but since Romania 1993 I have not attendant a Wales game. I can’t see the point of international friendlies, managers say it’s about getting to players together. Do they need a game? They could have met up for a day, if it was about having a bit of a get together

Wales face Iceland tonight just for a training run-out sometimes these breaks come at the most inconvenient times like if you are have good run of results. However, sometime it can give a poor performing team a breathing space with a two week break. It doesn’t help if you have players away on international duty. Long flights around the world are not good from club training.
