I think the gap in quality between the club and national game has grown quite a lot over the past 25 years or so, which doesn't help it's appeal. I watched Scotland (my country) v Belarus a week ago and I guarantee there are much higher level matches played in England's League 1 every week. Growing up I remember debating with friends if Brazil or France could beat Man United.

Even the quality of the tournaments has been greatly diluted by bringing in so many more teams. I understand this is great for fan engagement and revenue but as someone who's mostly neutral and wants to see high level football it doesn't help when half the teams are playing for 1-0 wins at best.
