It makes sense to have an international break now.

The FIFA World Cup play-offs are going ahead regardless so teams will lose players to them. If we hadn't have qualified, we would have been playing 2 England matches via the qualifiers on Saturday and Wednesday.

Although this is a prestige friendly it keeps the national team fresh and give up-and-coming players a chance to win their place.

So it makes sense really.
