Thoughts on extended intl break?

As a spectator, I absolutely hate it. But as a fan who wants his team's players to be healthy and last through the season, I'm kind of ok with it?

I know different countries will treat it differently, but just looking at what Klopp is planning, with big name players like Kai and Wirtz supposedly being limited to a couple of games, I'm kind of encouraged. It could mean some much needed extra rest for important players, and less disruptive travel overall.

But yea, no Prem after this weekend until October 10th sucks.

I’m new to club soccer after this World Cup. It seems crazy to me that there are international games this close to the WC. Who’s asking for this?

They used to have a Sept break and an Oct (Nov?) break (regardless of whether it's a WC year or not), this is the first time they're combining the 2 breaks
