We're a country with a population of under 3 million. Your country is one of over 50 million. Of course there should be a massive gulf in terms of quality. However, i'd rather not be lectured on quality of football from a supporter of a fellow non qualifying nation for the European Championships.

fair dos, I apologise for saying tin-pot. my tongue is firmly in cheek. and for the size of your country, I'll concede you tend to do pretty well. all i'm saying is that there's no incentive for us to take part in a tournament such as this.

Not really sure what any of the teams will get out of this. Seems to be based mainly on nostalgia.

Shame England are declining to play then, they'd be right at home.

Waste of time IMO....

Can't see this catching the imagination of all that many fans. Surely enough international games without these glossed up friendlies as well?
