The players need two weeks rest, not two weeks of meaningless football.
Now we've got a fortnight of sweating on players' fitness & them being unnecessarily rinsed out to fill the coffers of national associations, UEFA & FIFA.
I can't wait for the day to come where players quit moaning about the amount of football they're being made to play, & do something proactive about it instead.
I can't stand this perma-tanned weirdo, but it seems he's putting ArseAnal, plus his physical & mental wellbeing above bullshit football games.

‘I’m sorry, you’ve had your opportunity and you don’t want to play for England? You tell the Bobby Moores of this world whose got 100-odd caps. The Shiltons, the Beckhams, the Rooneys – those people, go and tell the Billy Bonds of this world who didn’t get a cap and should have done, and all those great players that you don’t want to play for your country.
I think it’s disgusting, I can’t have it. If he doesn’t want to play, that’s fine, but he shouldn’t be considered anymore for England.
‘He should be proud to play for his country and if you don’t want to play there will be plenty of other people who would give their right arm to play for England.
‘If someone else comes in after Gareth [Southgate] and changes it, then fine but if I’m Gareth I’d be saying “thanks very much we won’t be bothering you again”.’
