It makes a change from the relentless bombardment of football every single night and I tend to bet a lot less during the international break. If there wasn't a breather then I'd attend a lot less matches too so from a financial point of view it's a good thing. I do find the World Cup qualifiers are a bit too long and drawn out though. Who on earth wants to watch something like Georgia v Luxembourg?
Overall it's good to have something different and watch other sports or read a book in the evening.
