They won't though, will they? It's ok for the minnow qualifying rounds, but rarely do one lower league club have 3 internationals at qualification world cup level. I can't think of any off top of head... Maybe not in our league. Could someone like Sunderland have some? Especially as there’s always a couple of small countries (footballing wise) that make it to the finals. Possibly an African or Oceanian side. Its even less likely that say all three of those players end up staying in the world cup beyond the group stages. Once one of those three players teams are knocked out then the league one or two club will be required to fulfill their fixtures. So maybe two/three games at most may have to be postponed and played at a later date.

Possibly an African or Oceanian side. Yes I see your point. Lee Johnson, for an example. He a little country..... almost. He’s definitely not “a little bit rock and roll” either! 😂

Doesn't make sense that League 1 & 2 start early but then don't have a break. What's the point? Will just mean lower attendances at the start of the season when people are on holidays, and then again during the World Cup 🤔

I shall be ignoring it like the Pizza trophy, no interest in it due to FIFA and their meddling. It’s a better solution than playing it in the Qatari summer in fairness for the welfare of players, officials and spectators. Agreed, it’s also all the other issues going on with The World Cup this time that doesn’t sit well with me.

Thanks for info Widnesgas71, Mmmm Qatar certainly not on my bucket list! when you read that you wonder how on earth any organisation could contemplate holding an event there, then you think F.I.F.A and Qatar and it's a perfect fit, even more guiling is the fact that no one is making a seriouse stand against it ,just the usual, to Quote a topical phrase, 'Blah, Blah, Blah.'
