This shit isn't going to change, Every time one of our players gets crocked playing mickey mouse England games there's a huge outcry, . My beef is with the fucking friendlies which are little better than fund raisers for the FA  but these days the managers make the players take them seriously and put their bodies on the line. Two weeks break as well with no proper football is just a joke, We just have to have a stronger squad to cope because the FIFA aren't going to row back and do less of this shit. Too many corrupt cunts with expensive lifestyles to

subsidise. For what its worth I think England should be boycotting the Russian WC and fans should be voting with their feet,

Couldnt agree more. Im still majorly surprised though that the top European clubs permit this shite to continue unchecked.

 

OK, we may not be one of the mega rich clubs (we're still supposedly 1 of the top 10 'wealthiest' clubs in Europe) but you would really think the owners of the mega rich clubs would be seriously pissed off if their players were being forced to sit out club games because of meaningless friendly internationals.

 

Im mean fucking hell, the boys from brasil dont play until later today and wont be back in Liverpool until Wednesday by special chartered jet. How the fuck is it that South american countries are playing today when Europe played at the weekend? What happened to aligning the internationals world wide? How come one half of the world completes the internationals on the Sunday yet others are still fucking playing 2 days later?

 

We cant be the only club affected by international breaks, bout time something was fucking done though, strong squad or not.

 

It's a red herring to go on about a strong squad anyway. The stronger the squad, the more of your players get called up for internationals so you're fucked either way.

bet your last pound that one of the brazilian lads will suffer too due to that laughable scheduling...even if both are fit for saturday probably be fucked for midweek which due to the 2 internationals will be a 4th game in barely a week.

 

i hate the breaks but there is actually an argument for making the breaks two weeks as it is ridiculous to have players coming back on a Thursday after playing 180 mins over last few days and being on 12 hour flights then expect them to be in a fit state to play on saturday/midweek for their employers.

 

some squads might be able to absorb it - ours can't and why should we anyway...

 

maximising money and tv audiences by stretching the games over so many fucking days is bollocks too - there shouldn't be any internationals allowed 5 days either side of the players club fixtures.
