@Cynic they are just worn down. FA changed the fa cup rules and stopped cup replays but stupid newspapers are campaigning to revert it

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
