Thing is BE on average football player covers 10km during one game, NBA player approx 3km, NHL approx 5km. Simple maths will tell you football players run furthest

Play 20 club games inclusive UEFA competitions.

I think cup games should play reserve team and in EC ans WC years, top players should rest when more.

Pl players wanted some kind streik about huge numbers of games. NHL N NBA teams what reach play offs has ca 100 plus games

Once again shows how EPL doesn't render England players to go for an international cup.

so do all top players

Shearer is complaining about lack of energy but those players got 60+ games in their legs. Premier league, domestic cups, Euro cup and national team. It works out a game every 3-4 days
