‘The players are at tipping point!’ Would players really go on strike? | ESPN FC

[@Lioness_UTV]

Lets call it for what it is 'greed' by FIFA, UEFA, the Associations, Owners, Investor Groups, agents and players.

But when Klopp said this, he was a "moaner"

[@capcapcuz5588]

Instead of striking Klopp played teenagers and b teams when he could. It was very entertaining. Ith8nk even Klopp sat out some cup matches for some time off. Teams just need to adapt.

​@@capcapcuz5588no they don't, look at Barcelona and you see exactly why don't risk kids to play alot of games

[@SJHD]

Must be so hard, poor babies

[@Ichsukatanuka]

Yes they will, everyone has a limit

[@capcapcuz5588]

Lol there’s no end to the supply of people that can kick a ball

[@johnmiller6976]

No one is forcing these players to play every game, every minute. Squads are huge anyways, just rotated if players need to rest. Such babies.

[@Matt_TFC]

Facts

[@tlflive]

You rotate out your best players? Where do you see that happen? Even as a fan, would you want your best players rotated out of games in CL, PL, LaLiga ETC. Not sure what you mean by cry babies.

[@johnmiller6976]

@@tlflive "You rotate out your best players?" Yes, of course. Every elite team in multiple competitions does this. Cry babies earn millions. Man City won the treble and they did so by rotating there squad. They didn't play with the same 11 the whole season. Pretty simple... Also, players don't play in both LaLiga and PL, it's one or the other... you new to football m8?

[@Matt_TFC]

@@johnmiller6976 Watching Man city vs Arsenal right now and Man city no Rodri/Bruyne/Stones/Foden etc.. Man city's best players not playing.

[@DaniaAbraham-z3n]

Oh you want 20-30% less games well take a 20-30% pay cut. I bet only 20-30% of players from big teams would agree to that. The fact of the matter is they chose this life. They could easily go play in a smaller league or in a country overseas. But they want the money, fame, awards, and stays that comes with playing in the top leagues. Rich ppl problems. Stop crying and find another job.

[@darcywalker1546]

Something needs to happen or players will be in favour of the Super League. They would get as much money or even more for less games. I’m definitely not in favour of this but there is greed by UEFA having all these teams in Champions League and also having the club World Cup. Then there is unnecessary international games (Nations League) that interferes with the leagues around the world. Players are what I call getting Soccer Sickness playing way too much.

[@Mr_jz_12]

City, allowing their players to strike? 🤣

[@Marc_Araujo]

The qualified teams that compete in this CL season will dominate at the Club World Cup. Get rid of it and bring back the Confederations Cup...this way you can also get rid of La Finalissima.

[@PALACEKAV]

Not heard a peep out of Championship,League1 or League 2 players,only the overpaid x100 players in the prem....funny that.....

[@JimJames-vh3vp]

Football,is flooding everyone, to many games , as a watcher, its just too much imho, jim

[@rodolfokim2437]

Futbolista cobrar millones pero no querer patear pelotita más de lo debido. Yo como un pelotudo tener que ir a laburar más de 60 horas y calladito

[@MrKaravaj]

I have 2-3 solutions and we all will be happy. 1. Bring back old ucl format. 2. Scrap super league (not here yet but no more plans). 3. Scrap summer cwc and bring back old cwc - ALL good like old days! Why make it more complicated...

[@PhilliesNostalgia]

Also no more expansion of the Euros or World Cup
