I'm prepared to stand corrected but there was no such thing as an International break-even as recent as 20yrs ago.  Just add it to the list of things that have deteriorated with time.

You are correct that there wasn't one in the UK. It was introduced because of lack of preparation time before international  games and late drop-outs due to injuries picked up in league games played 3 or 4 days before the international. We fell into line with other nations  by introducing the international break. Whether it's better or not depends on individual view and the club/country priority.

Cardiff score in the 96th and 99th minute to beat Preston 2-1. Nuts

Rooney finally gets his first win

Bugger, much as I have a downer on Wednesday (big Dave) I was hoping that they would press the Rooney exit button

Livermore getting much praise after Watford's 3-2 win against Norwich last night. Man of the match according to the reporter on Sky. Fair play to the guy.
