That must be a bummer for the big clubs with international players then?

It used to be but not nowdays. UEFA (and FIFA) forbids national football during their tournaments. So we have a two month break in ther season for the Euros.

Indeed.

What is more annoying is that so many of the best players gets sold in mid season (summer). My team has a solid defence this year. But we are looking for a new starting central defender since they expect one or two of them to get sold. It is not unusual that around 4 of the starting players gets lost during the summer. At times even more.

Jeesus, that seems confusing. Am I understanding that right, play just ceases in some coutries because of a higher level of play-offs?

So what do you reckon England vs Sweden?

Go to bed if you are tired. Or stay tuned to this thread and you will soon wake up because of the excitment.

A draw seems like a prudent guess. But it is to early for a serious guess since we do not know what players will be available.

Yes. Although in this case it is the European Championship. But same thing actually happens on a smaller scale for Champions Legue games. Makes it a real pain to reschedule cancelled games.

Only the Barbarian countries, you know Russia, the Scandies - the rest of us run our seasons at a normal time [;)]

Seriously though, when the Africans hold their cup of nations, our players that are picked go missing from the league for about a month - it can be a serious loss for some clubs.

So the Euros are the top of the pile?

No. The World Cup is the daddy. Then, each continent has its own tounament - Copa America, African Cup of Nations, European Championshps etc. Then below that its club football - inter European and domestic.

The Copa America is for the South American countries although they invite 2 countries from North America and/or the Caribbean to play too.

Sort of. But then there is the FIFA World Cup. The greatest sports event in the world.
