So another break when the season’s barely started. Am I alone in feeling intense disappointment when the PL fixtures end on Sunday evening and we have the best part of 2 weeks to wait for another game? And I am alone in caring little about how England will scrape past inferior opponents unconvincingly in the intervening period?
Your next fixture's Liverpool. Be careful what you wish for! They have been **** though, to be fair. Very fortunate results given the performances. Tough run of games coming up, too.
Gives them time to regroup. And for Utd to implode. A break would certainly seem to be of greater benefit to them to try to end their recent cycle of defeats. I can’t think of a solution to the scheduling problems (ditto cricket, which has similar issues), but surely there must be some better way? And if 48 teams qualify, a lot of the jeopardy is removed from qualification, so are all these games necessary and desirable?
Next year has no October break, but an extended September one, instead: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cq5jl744pwpo Still ****, obviously.
I’m with you there. Especially as Spurs aren’t losing most games atm and Tuchel just doesn’t suit being England manager imo. I’ll enjoy the World Cup but all the qualifying and nations league feels a chore to watch.
Yeah, about that: last week FIFA meekly mentioned that a few matches will air in Europe post-midnight, having neglected to mention this minor detail in the years prior And that's ignoring the other obvious reason the World Cup is going the resemble the London Beer Flood of 1814, if it was a sewage plant that exploded rather than a brewery...
