    Internationals are just pointless nowadays. Could really reduce all those meaningless games from League cup to useless international friendlies. Who’s even watching?

    Players should have it in the contracts they can only play a certain number of games a season or they’re guaranteed a certain number of weeks off during pre season

    They should also bin pre season touring across the globe

    People are overworked in almost every industry in the world, why should we necessarily care more about the ones who get paid astronomically to play what is at the end of the day an inconsequential game for a living?

    Erm, the players were the ones that forced the globalization of the market in football (see Bosman ruling). Beforehand,football was much more localized with only the World Cups serving as a global show off. Now, it’s a different market where everyone and their mother is searching high and wide across the globe for the next top talents.

    The issue is UEFA and fifa. They want a piece of the money pie that clubs get so try to make more and more competitions for national teams to play. And then UEFa adding so many more European games on top, players are not machines. The winter World Cup didn’t help either.
