I think by the time the summer comes...everyone needs a break from the relentless pain and misery that comes with following spurs.
International breaks just fuck up the momentum of enjoying this pain and misery.

These international breaks need to go.
I haven't watched any football.
The international football needs binning off until the end of the season.
The season will finish a month early and the games can all be played in a condensed period.

There actually will be less of them next year, albeit one long one.
Why this October international break is the last of its kind
From 2026 onwards, two breaks will be condensed into one two-week period which covers the final full week of September into early October.

Tel and Odobert both start against Estonia U21s.
Tel opens the scoring 9 minutes in. Odobert got the assist.

Tel assists France's second.
Pouvons-nous vous jouer chaque semaine
games against Malta and Finland?
I'd more expect him to see him chatting to the keeper while smoking a tab than doing any last ditch sprints that Ange wrecked him with
Bergvall gets another Sweden start.
Bon idee...
Gray & Phillips both start, put the stream in the Gray thread.
Odobert gets a goal too.
Random hypothetical:
Would you rather be a marginal/fringe player for a major footballing nation (i.e. France, England, Germany, Brazil, Argentina) that has a chance to win trophies (Sissoko-esque).
OR - a regular starter for a minor footballing nation (i.e. Wales, Austria, Denmark, Costa Rica, Colombia), mostly hoping just to make a major tournament (Davies).
Call it the Mikey Moore conundrum - you have to make this choice as a teenager not knowing how the future will unfold.
