Simon bristol Posted November 11, 2021 Report Share Posted November 11, 2021 You are all cynical, their proposal to host the world cup was the best by far, and wasnt awarded due to any corruption or shady dealings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pillred Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 Wouldn't surprise me if this wasn't used as an excuse for a permanent winter break in this country, some clubs have been trying to get it brought in for years this is the perfect excuse to make it permanent.

Never to the dark side Posted November 12, 2021 Report Share Posted November 12, 2021 I think the three EFL leagues will be the same as during the Internathional break No prem games no championship games with the 1st and 2nd divisions allowed to call off games if they have Internathional players in the squad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 Rugby carries on when internationals are out. Maybe it’s time football did the same and clubs understood that’s the risk they take when they sign players who are internationals. ? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
