    Fair point though. Reflects on Tuchel's comments about the Wembley fans too - I just don't think international football excites people at all any more, particularly outside of tournaments.

    I think it is one of those where to Wales it is a fierce rivalry and to England it isn’t. If it was Scotland then I suspect there would have been more atmosphere.

    Especially for us where qualifying for a tournament is basically a formality. I don't watch any England games outside of tournaments really.

    Also it's a bit of a mismatched opponent in a friendly and we were 3 up after 20 minutes which plays a part. Atmosphere generally thrives on jeopardy.
