Anyone else think they are a complete waste of time, and should be stopped?

I would rather watch domestic football. Scrapping international football wouldn't bother me in the slightest.
Don’t agree at all. A complete waste of time and effort. There’s enough games for players to play without having to get involved in timid meaningless friendlies. If a youngster is decent, chuck him into the deep end and let him loose. He’ll learn more in a real game that he will in 10 friendlies.
If you don’t qualify then you have to play some friendlies or you won’t play a game for a year. That said I like the fact that we are playing in the China cup against quality opposition with a bit of a competitive edge to it, maybe the FAW could think of hosting something similar in the future so we don’t have to travel half way around the world.
Many of them will be gone by this time next year.
That new 'league' tournament is starting, taking up most of the Sept, Oct & Nov international breaks.
March will be the only international break with the potential for friendlies to be played.
From a gambling point of view all these international breaks are pissing me right off. September, October, November. Ridiculous,
With the amount of money, both in wages and transfer fees, that clubs lay out on international players, I’m surprised that there seems to be more international games than ever these days.
France last year was a great experience but I can honestly say I wouldn’t miss international football one bit if they pulled the pin on it.
