No way, will this mean a winter WC again???
Tbh I question why it should be on the players. If people seriously think we shouldn’t be having this tournament, surely it’s on the governments, footballing authorities and management of teams before the 25 individual players (& their replacements) are asked to come together to stop this.
Basically a political stand shouldn’t be left to your winger and DM.
It’s shit like the club world cup which will have players noping out of. No way people don’t go to a world cup.
I struggle to find how the revamped Club World Cup will have much appeal. They are basically disregarding the many decades’ history of the Intercontinental Cup/ yearly CWC format for a new 4 year tournament that is more associated with national teams.
FIFA is back at full corruption fifa
I’m not surprised at all. Long term I think if FIFA had their way, they’d have international football all year round and there’d simply be no realistic way for players to commit fully to both club and country. The modern football schedule is only getting worse.
I’m old enough to remember when we did this whole song and dance around Qatar and then nobody gave a shit about player workloads or FIFA corruption or human rights once it kicked off…
I disagree, I did not watch a single game last December.
Players are much more likely to pull out of any other tournaments to preserve their fitness for the World Cup. As we saw with Qatar, it’s all talk and players won’t quit on the World Cup.
