Should be a law in FIFA that players get at least 6 weeks of rest after last game of the season (includes int. games) before the season starts.

Its part of the reason why a lot of tops teams and players are underperforming in this championship.
Many of those fancied to be top scorers are barely off the mark, and there are very few clear contenders for a player of the tournament so far.

The players have been flogged to death

This tournament is suffering dramatically because of it. It doesn't help that third placed teams get through, which leads to negative play being rewarded from the second game. The first games were quite exciting and it was a free hit for most teams. They all then had two games where one win and one draw could still see them qualify. It rewards the defensive and mundane.

Things will become a bit more interesting in the QFs. International football always has that slower rhythm because of what is at stake, but teams in a simple system with players that run a lot are easily competing with teams that have far better players on paper.

England currently are doing a great job of running less and having a shit system.
 
Said needs to rest his body as its been a long season for him. Must be feelin it to make that comment, especially since he was out for 4-5 months this past season
