No Off Season for Players nowadays

[KND2]

Men done start to play warm up games for the EPL already and we in July, Season starting full in 3 weeks.

Most teams was playing until May.

That leave only June to rest unless you play World Cup qualifying not to mention confederation cup and gold cup.

It seems like there is no longer an official Off season.

Especially now when you can do a USA or Asia tour and pull in money.

Throw in a Youth world cup and is even more pressure for budding young players.

How will this impact the game?

Will players have a shorter career or will they just be more fit so thier body can handle the pressure.

Football now seems to have the shortest offseason of any sport.

Is FIFA and clubs quest for money going to damage the product in the long run.

but you're more likely to hear a complaint from a cricketer that the game is ruining his life, than from a footballer. (alledgedly Lara, Symmonds, Gayle)

Wonder why?

acb,
        football and Test cricket are 2 different things. Footballers have their wives and family with them. The max the men away from home is about 3/4 days. When cricketer goes on tour is about 6 weekes for the least. Now you figure that out.

But Deeks, WAGs travelling with cricketers longgggggg time now. Remember when Lara used to have a young model ting liming with them in the players pavilion during the game? How about when the English & Aussies come to The Caribbean? - wife and children everywhere.
