well if you look at some of the smaller european nations say 10 years ago - they used to recieve a hiding every time they walked on the pitch. over the years they have grown and become strong international sides, take macedonia for example they held us to a draw on our own turf a couple of years ago, and this forthcoming game is certainly no walkover. You have to look at the bigger picture, these matches are vital to the smaller european nations profile and even from a economic point of view it's very important to these countries.

It seems like the groans are coming from the premierships top 4 fans - do you think andorra really give a shit about a few tired legs? any big side in England should have a strong enough squad to be able to rotate it anyway.
