KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Bring back the home nations

Went to the game last night between England and Scotland and all though it was not a classic game the atmosphere and the banter between both fans was electric. Not been to game like that in ages.

I remember the home nations, maybe you could say that since the home nations stopped all the teams have gone down hill.

Perhaps because they stopped, the development of all the national sides have been poor, Scots used to WC qualify regularly, remember the irish in the WC's... England used to play football.

It hurts but I agree regarding Rio F saying England havn't had a "good footballing "side since Glen Hoddle..

It's still just felt like a pointless friendly to me, maybe I'm its just me but I didn't care if England won or lost.

The British Home Championship (also known as the Home International Championship, the Home Internationals and the British Championship)

I don't see why they don't do this every 2 years when we don't have a tournament to play. It can just be two games, a semi and then the final.

Agreeed. I just hope that every time our players go of to play with their national side that they come back in one piece and not all injured for god knows how long.

I watched it at home and occasionally flicked over to the Wales game - it was like I pressed the mute button on my remote!

Lets face it, football is boring when you don't care. Problem is LFC is a part of you it is one of your top 5 loves in life. England on the other hand is something we can ignore unless we are doing well.

Wouldn't disagree with that. Was pleased to NOT see James Milner on the pitch last night though!

I used to love the home championships.

But as another poster said the teams have gone downhill since those heady days.

I think they should bring it back I can't help feeling modern football has lost its way and the Suarez farce is just one symptom of it.

Poster above says he is not interested in England you know what ? More and more I am less interested in Liverpool

What are we now ? Just a corporate machine might as well support ford motors or macdonalds.

Football needs to get back to basics and bringing the home internationals would be. Decent albeit small start

I agree when he's put on the wing, do you think he could play a Def Mid centre role, bit like Lucas role?

We could then have a right winger who can beat a man...
