The Drag of International Soccer

Once again, the glut of international games are dawning on us. Personally I detest these games as they are incredibly boring and are played so late in the night (or morning) in Singapore. You can just imagine the potent mix that provides.

So what's new this time? England, once again, struggling to qualify?

They should have dumped that clueless McClaren. It is the sign of how international soccer is now a joke when you see so many unproven or plain dumpy managers in charge of the big soccer nations. Apart from that dull but typical example of an Englishman McClaren, you have Steve Staunton, Van Basten, and many others. What have they achieved, other than having distinguished playing careers (sans McClaren of course)?
