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

    Classic reddit incapable of having a nuanced take. its possible for both the pay structure to be fucked alongside prioritising the health of fellow humans more. but nah they deserve to suffer cuz they make money than you.

    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.

        True to a degree but also they are not paid on a peer game basis. So these organizations can keep adding additional games and the players will see no wage increase. Not that I know of anyway but I’m not totally sure

    Has anyone ever heard of rotating players during games? Or what if you used the whole squad instead of playing 11 guys always?

    I know…This sounds like madness and super revolutionary. Genius-like ideas here.

    Oh purrrleeaaassseee. Footballers are the most oberpampered, overpaid, spoilt brats in the world of entertainment, besides actors. They get paid when they are injured, get paid when they are sick, get paid when they cant be bothered turning up for training,for a couple of hours a day. Think of the poorly paid staff behind the scene before you start crying about footballers

    Yea uh, the players need to make a stand. Otherwise there will be more and more tournaments. It sucks, but they are the only ones that can stop this.

    Can the footballer not say he doesn’t want to play this week or that week?

    I’m sure there are stats to show he’s fatigued, tired, and prone to injury

      They do, but sometimes the manager doesn’t really have a choice. I think it’s considered unprofessional if a player without injuries turns down the opportunity to play.
