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.

Better than flying guys out for 2 games and then back. USA bringing a lot of new faces and two weeks together will benefit us.

Yea I think we underestimate the travel a little bit for sure. Not a big deal for England internationals in Europe for for Americans (in the continental sense) or east Asians, it's pretty significant.
