Them good old days long gone all about money, not about wearing the shirt.
Wonder if u ask pros in Europe that have previous WC experience. true vets
then ask them if wearing the national colors mean a lot? or playing in your 3rd WC? Off the record.
I would not be suprised a lot would say they wuld rather not. rather rest go on holiday, lime with family,avoid injury. etc
pro rate the players money based on onappearances, mins whatever. As for BSC no loot. nothing personal no local coach vs foreign ting etc. released fired whatever u call it=$0.
