Former England star Michael Owen admits he is ‘falling out of love with international football’ as he joins fans to criticise Three Lions’ ‘POINTLESS’ 10-0 thrashing of San Marino in World Cup qualifying
Michael Owen admitted he is ‘rapidly falling out of love with international football’ after watching England qualifying for the 2022 World Cup with a 10-0 win over San Marino.
The Three Lions booked their place at next winter’s Qatar tournament with a dominant win over the world’s lowest-ranked side – with Gareth Southgate’s side going 6-0 up at half-time with captain Harry Kan netting four.
Owen, who played at three World Cups with England during his playing career, joined other Three Lions fans in questioning why minnows such as San Marino are pitted against top international teams.

Michael Owen claims he is ‘falling out of love with international football’ after the thrashing
The former striker tweeted: ‘Rapidly falling out of love with watching international football barring the big tournaments. I think a lot of people feel the same way. Half of these games are absolutely pointless. A restructure is needed.’
England took just six minutes to take the lead in Serravalle when Harry Maguire headed home, with Fillippo Fabbri’s own goal doubling the Three Lions’ lead just 10 minutes later.
Captain Kane then took his overall England goal tally to 48 by netting four before the interval – including two penalties won via San Marino handballs.
