With the World Cup and Euros being expanded, they don’t need to have as many qualifiers as they do. In South America, 7 of the 10 teams qualify for the World Cup so do they really need to play 18 qualifiers which involve a large proportion of players flying in from Europe.
It seems like we’ve had a lot more evening matches this season. We had barely any in the first couple of years in the Premier League. If only they scrapped all these unnecessary international breaks, all matches could be on a Saturday.
