Apparently there is interest from Wales ,N Ireland and Scotland to resurrect the home international competition , but England don't want to know due to fixture congestion and I believe lack of fan interest and a opposition quality gulf , what do you believe would it be worthwhile ?

Don't think there would be room for it any more would there?

Haven't they come up with a way to make international friendlies a bit less boring/more competitive by having some sort of ongoing nations league/cup?

If all the nations where involved yes, playing those games before a tournament would set you up better for when your group games start as they would be really competitive.

There was the perfect opportunity for this a decade ago during Euro 2008. But there was little interest then, so why now?
