cubaricho Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 I’m not super sure where to put this since it’s kind of Euros, kind of Copa America, but more just a broad question. I’ve found these two tournaments to be pretty boring. I realize that competitions like these have been slowly trending that direction, but my question is: do we think we’re starting to see the tipping point of these players having to play too many matches a season? With all of the added matches in tournaments like the CL/Europa - that they’re adding just to make more TV money - are these players just being run into the ground and now we’re seeing the effects in these major tournaments?

gbandit Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Definitely past the tipping point. The combination of fatigue alongside playing with a totally different set of teammates and system means that it’s a mess. Unless you’re Georgia and just go out and try to play all out attack football. Everyone should just do that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no need for the keeper to be positioned there and the defender is an imbecile for passing without looking. The defender should take more blame but why is a keeper in the sweeper position after 20 seconds while their team is in control of the ball Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shocking result, up there with worst result for a LoI team in Europe and it's a competitive field. Shelbourne are ahead against St Josephs now at least.

With all of the added matches in tournaments like the CL/Europa - that they’re adding just to make more TV money - are these players just being run into the ground and now we’re seeing the effects in these major tournaments? This may be several weeks too late but I completely agree. It's definitely an element of player fatigue and of trying to shoehorn too many teams into this competition (probably for TV money) at least in Europe, I won't speak for the Copa America. The grind of qualification, then the group stages, where most of the best players have already played in their leagues, domestic and international cups, friendlies etc just isn't sustainable. Lip service has been paid to player welfare, but it doesn't translate onto the pitch when there is content to fill and TV money to be earnt. Don't know about the CA, but the Euros felt a bit flat all round to me other than a few standout moments. Then those exact same players are back for training, friendlies or made up cups within days. I kind of wish they had a month off, ate some ice cream on the beach with their families and then came back ready to bust a gut for competitions that really mattered.
