International matches..What A stupid Idea

[BuzsakyIsGod]

I personally don't feel they are stupid. Just like pre-season the international teams need to stat gelling etc again after the time out. Remember not all members of the team are in the same team in other competitions.

HH not playing will make so many people happy and might get a few more R's to travel.

I have always thought friendlies are a nuisance, but unfortunately a necessary one if we want a successful International side. The problem nowadays is that most of the 1st choice players, cry off with minor injuries and make them seem pointless.

On the plus side, I agree that anything that keeps Helguson out of the starting line-up is good by me.

Who knows he might score for Iceland and gain some confidence, if he does, than these friendlies could prove valuable to QPR too.

And don't get me started on various Commonwealth and Olympic Games,
who needs them when we have Championship football?
