You can have whatever opinion you want but if you're already of the opinion that international football is 'mind-numbing at the best of times' then you're never going to enjoy it are you. You wont even enjoy it at its most exciting. In which case you cant give a fair opinion. Its like someone who dislikes tennis saying the Cilic vs Federer match was boring. Of course they would find it boring they dislike tennis. Ask a tennis fan and they'd tell you it was a brilliant match.
