ScoRoss 800 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Three months off? With the amount of games right now, they struggle to fit them all in and they only have about a month off now. From that view point alone, it would not work. Plus, I can't say I'm an advocate for summer football. There are many other things to do in the summer months, rather than the winter months. No football in December / January and it would be very dull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiley Culture 1,651 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 There’s zero context or zero thought behind it in the articles I’ve read about it. Why is it better? What is the benefits? I just don’t see any explanation behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas/NY fixture-period, as busy as it can be, is almost like tradition in UK. Is the 3-game international break a permanent thing? I hope not.

Danny 2,201 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 It would probably work out better for a lot of Europe as pitches would be in better condition, less bogs and frozen grass. Probably much better for players too as it’d help prevent injuries. I do like sport in the Summer, it’s a shame that we never get to go to matches when it’s hot as most of the season is in cold conditions. Not a fan of the 3 month break, could get behind a big international tournament every year but I suppose that’s why there’s a 3 month break.

The Palace Fan 3,400 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I feel one of the things that lockdown has shown that even a beautiful sport such as football can be shoved down your throat too much. Having a World Cup every two years devalues the prestige the tournament significantly. I can't say I'm in favour of summer leagues either. For it to be implemented I imagine we will have to work towards a model of five subs and water breaks more often which slowed down the rhythem and flow of some matches. The first break in the FA Cup final being the most high profile example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
