Yup they’ve merged one of the breaks. Means we will get 7 games before the first break which I prefer.
5 League games
1 CL game
1 league cup game
International football won’t disappear so I would rather they condensed it, we need to merge the March and November breaks now. Perhaps around Feb.
Assume that might be as much as 8-9 in a none World Cup.
Their grandparents lived in Uganda for “4 or 5 years”. It’s a bit like people claiming German nationality because they once owned a German Shepherd Dog.
Actually, I would have had a much better claim to play international cricket for India. Well, aside from the fact that I am crap at cricket.
Well not really as no relative has given birth to a German Shepherd dog.
But if they did they could at least work for the FBI now
Just thick as pig shit then.
I saw a graphic once of IIHF hockey, showing how many players there were by country of birth. Canada actually had close to 5 teams in the competition - all but one of the Italy players, for example.
Damn, this line of discussion and the international break has just begun. October 11 is a long way away

Are there any worthwhile games, or just meaningless friendlies?
Jürgen Klopp vs van Dijk, Gravenberch, Gakpo
Isn’t is Jurgen + Florian? Or is he playing in later matches?
Wirtz is not in the squad vs Netherland.
And FOX Sports is playing Norway v Denmark instead here in the states. Gotta watch that dreamy Beluga whale!
Mostly UEFA nation games, most other teams seem to be playing friendlies
@iftikhar : it’s tomorrow evening, 20:00 BST. It should be a good watch. 
It’s actually a 19:45 BST kick-off time. (20:45 locally).
If anyone has a good stream for that match, I’d be much obliged!
