As the England football team continues to stumble just as it appears everything to be looking up, I can't help wondering whether national teams should be given more games and time together. Maybe club football could be reduced somewhat so that we have smaller leagues or fewer European club games. Maybe a European national team league could be introduced and clubs and national teams play every other week in their respective leagues, i.e. Sat 1st: club league, Sat 8th: national team league, Sat 15th: club league, etc. Or maybe football could introduce a rugby-style set-up whereby clubs and countries play games simultaneously and clubs are forced to release players to countries on these occasions.
At the end of the day, when a national team only has ten games a year in a non-championship year, then how is it supposed to gel and form a great understanding amongst its players?
