the pride in representing your country isnt as profound as it used to be, look at the players singing the anthem, half of them dont even know the words! add to that that caps are handed out willy nilly just to fend off other countries or because the game is against a minor nation. same can be said about other sports too.

players pick club over country as thats where the money is, 100k playing for a club plus other bonuses or a standard match fee that gets donated to charity on most occasions
