There's far too much money in football today. It's the root of both the decaying level of international football, and the imbalance between the haves and have-nots in club football.
The vast majority of players just aren't willing to put that much on the line for country any longer. It's not worth it, when they're getting 8 figure contracts for their clubs. Sure, the charm of winning WC, Euros, Copa is still there, but nowhere near to the same extent it was in the past.

And thats why i love argie league, last 8 leagues have been won by 8 different teams with most players making a 100 euros a week and playing their hearts out in stadia with great atmospheres.
