Other Nations League matches

Is it me or is the standard of football worldwide just becoming utterly sh*te?

In the early 90's it seemed every country had at least one world class player or maybe it jut seemed that way. A lot of countries had teams full of superstars.

I used to know loads of the players from international teams and they would be household names.  You could name the Dutch line up or the Italian line up etc.  I saw a bit of Holland and Italy tonight.  Turned it off.  Boring . Just no buzz anymore from it.   Only knew 3 of Italy's team and 3 or 4 of Holland's.    International football used to be so much more interesting.  Growing up with great games like Holland v England 1993 in Rotterdam etc and being served up this in comparison.  Ok the football might be more tiki taka esque but the players were miles better back then too.  Rijkaard, Gullit, Van Basten, Bergkamp, Baresi, Baggio, et al...

Bah humbug

Was only thinking that tonight watching the scots and the Czechs.  Both teams got to euros in the 90s and the Czechs had nedved and a few other really good players and a decent team in 2000s. Croatia had great players and so did Serbia.  Ireland had Keane and Duffer and Robbie and Given.  As you say really good teams from the Dutch and Italians.  

Loads of countries now have players I haven’t heard of even top countries.   It’s all become very mediocre and not

Many stand out teams.  Finland Hungary the Czechs ourselves the scots and the welsh and Northern Ireland and Slovakia and Bulgaria Romania are all a much of a muchness
