International break's in football.

[retreat]

Like it or not, the international break is something that cannot be avoided because it is related to the FIFA World Cup qualifiers or other international tournaments where players are asked to represent their country. This is indeed very unpleasant for some people, because the domestic league was forced to take a break for a moment for this, but I personally don't really have a problem with this because on the one hand I can watch international matches such as Netherlands vs Germany, and several other countries.

[EluguHcman]

I am only interested in some particular football clubs because of few players in the clubs so basically, I am saying I am not sure of myself saying... This is the football which I am fans of but one thing is sure that amongst two teams playing against each other, I would always fans and want one to win while my sentiments goes to the other to loose. But it by means the desired club did not win the match so he it, my emotions would not still feel weaken as others would are seriously fans of some particular clubs.

Talking about forcing my son to fans the same football club with me would be apparently stupid of me because football is a game of fun where it is much enjoyable when you have an opponent that would either compete with you as a player or you as a fans would enjoy the game more when you have an opposite side of a fan who can argue and disagrees with you when you gets on debates about hyping and cheering your fans club.

So I will always leave my son or any one to make their fans choice on which club they wants to fan so the fun we keep up rolling in the midsts.

As football club fans we all know how boring those weekend's on international breaks for clubs usually feels like. For a fan like me it's like the whole world just stands still and everything seems irregular all through the weekends staying without club matches.

so will you as a football club fan wish/like it if international breaks is scrapped in football yearly calendar, so we can continue watching our favorite football club leagues and teams all the weekends and midweeks. Are you a fan of international breaks or not let's know your thoughts.

I think that these breaks are quite healthy because this way people can concentrate on other things and maybe reach the conclusion that they are wasting too much time watching sports, for example. Otherwise, if all weeks are always the same, sense of continuity can make them simply go with the flow without thinking about anything.

How can you say it's all a waste of time spending it on watching football games, like am just getting to know about this for the first time from anyone and it happens to be you. Perhaps you are not a fan of football hence your opinion, therefore if that's the case then am not aback at your statement.

Another interesting question is this, as a father would you force it on your child to also fan the same club you're a fan to, or you will allow him be himself to fan any club of his choice even if it's your most rival club of all times.

Interesting question, indeed. I think that I would let my children choose their own favorite team, but I think this has more in common with the breeding style of each other rather than with how staunch you are about your team.

The breeding style! Like do you mean as of a father usually taking the child while he was very at a tender age to go watch games with him whenever he's going to watch his club play. Because a lot of children that are fans of some particular club's today got the interest through those experiences with their father. As parents is expected we encourage them to make good and great choices in life but never coerce them to be what or with which side of the divide we have chosen for ourself to be in.

Yes, that is FIFA's agenda which is absolutely impossible to avoid. The international break really makes football fans, especially those who focus on clubs, very boring, the entertainment that is provided regularly every week suddenly has to switch to international competitions. I totally understand what OP meant and he definitely felt something different. In my opinion, what is interesting about competition between countries is when official tournaments take place such as the World Cup, Euro, etc.

I think he's someone who're very competitive and not want to do something that will not give any financial benefit for him, which I think understandable. You know right the current society value money is the most important thing, so many people are really obsessed to make money even though they need to sacrifice their free time, friends, fun, girl friend, etc.

Everyone have free times, but grown men choose to use the time to study, learn or work.

International breaks is a certainty so that even the players can rest as well, while countries seeking qualifications for the world cup or other domestic cup wins, perform their duties.
One thing I just don't like after the international break is that the tempo of the English Premier league or other club league soccer competition changes. I believe it's also a time where club managers go back to the drawing board and make final proper analysis because after the break, comes the toughest of matches that lead unto the end of this soccer season.

Yes, maybe domestic league fans when there is an international break will be very disappointed because their favorite team is on holiday because of international matches.
Yes, that's right, in the international break we can see teams from top countries playing, we can see star players playing for their countries competing, apart from Netherlands vs Germany we can also see England versus Brazil, which yesterday's match was very interesting to watch. . .
However, sometimes the international break is detrimental to the club, when the club's mainstay players suffer injuries while playing for their country, perhaps this is something that domestic league fans don't like.

Being a fan of a club makes watching football more enjoyable. Of Course, growing up we have a favorite football club and we create this passion and love for that club. For example, if there were no fans in some classic matches such as El Classico, London Derby, Manchester Derby, Milan Derby, Madrid Derby etc. the game would have been way less fun.

Even if you are not a fan of any of the clubs that are playing, you would always get goosebumps just watching their fans react to the game. It makes you want to support a club, root for it. Football is such a simple yet beautiful game. All these debates make the game more worthwhile.

What if your child is not interested in sports at all, or interested in a different sport asides the one you are interested in? you cannot make sure your preferences are your child's preferences too, that is wrong upbringing. Expose children to various choices, so they make the choices that their hearts incline to.

It can be a very boring for a father who love sports to have none of his children interested in the same sport as his, but that is a reality you have to face.

Some football fans are so used to the club league competition and this is mostly because they probably stake bets during the weekend and they also feel that country games are way much harder to predict than club games and maybe this is due to the fact these boys don't train together and they all play with different coaches and one day there are called to come represent their country, for sure the combo of the players won't be that of the club that play together every weekend.

[SeriouslyGiveaway]

Another interesting question is this, as a father would you force it on your child to also fan the same club you're a fan to, or you will allow him be himself to fan any club of his choice even if it's your most rival club of all times.

Of course, as a father, I completely respect my child's preferences and choices. You can't force him to like your football team, while you also have no reason to like your child's football team, right? Imagine if your father did the same thing to you, how would you feel? There will certainly be resistance and dislike. Football is a hobby, and if it is a hobby, there is no right or wrong and there should be no compulsion. Each team has its own characteristics that make us love them. I find it more interesting when my child likes the opposing team, through which we will be able to argue more, thereby discovering more interesting things and points that our team needs to improve. There must be conflict for there to be development.

so will you as a football club fan wish/like it if international breaks is scrapped in football yearly calendar, so we can continue watching our favorite football club leagues and teams all the weekends and midweeks. Are you a fan of international breaks or not let's know your thoughts.

footballers are human being and you don't expect them to play all their life out because you want to be entertained during the weekend. The international breaks more over doesn't mean that they don't play football or that you can't watch football.ost of your stars still go to the grassroot levels to play friendlies or qualifiers in their country as a way to help fifa organize top world competition.

Another interesting question is this, as a father would you force it on your child to also fan the same club you're a fan to, or you will allow him be himself to fan any club of his choice even if it's your most rival club of all times.

it's not a debatable scenario that most children will obviously support any club Thier father is in support of cause it's just normal that because they stay under the same roof and because he is small will mean that he has to learn most things directly from his father so it's just normal that he will most likely learn and like whatever his father likes without necessarily being forced by his father to support his club of interest. But generally, it's unreasonable to even think it right to force your child into doing what's against his believe system.

[davis196]

International breaks are used so that the national teams could play their matches. Aren't you a fan of your country's national team?
I am a football fan and I have a favorite football club, but international breaks don't bother me at all. The football players in your favorite football club also need some time to have a break. They aren't machines and they can't play 100-200 matches per year.
I don't have a kid, but if I had a kid, I wouldn't care about his favorite football team. I'm not the most hardcore football fan and I'm not obsessed with my favorite football club.

[pinggoki]

I don't get the point of not taking a break though, are they like some kind of robots that they can afford to not take a break and that even if they do this all year long, they wouldn't experience any kind of mental breakdown? Football players are pretty much humans like the fans so I don't agree about not taking breaks, even if they make a lot of money, I don't think that no money can provide them the care that's equal to taking a break.

Another interesting question is this, as a father would you force it on your child to also fan the same club you're a fan to, or you will allow him be himself to fan any club of his choice even if it's your most rival club of all times.

Probably the most pathetic and stupid thing that you can do to your kid, to have them continue what you're dreaming of as if that's how you should do things as a parent, unless you're a really bad parent that would want to raise a kid that doesn't love you and will grow to resent you then yes you could force them to like the fan club that you're a fan of, if they show interest then it's good to at least be that way but forcing them when they don't want to is not the way to go. It also is a good idea to allow them to be a fan of other clubs or a rival one at that, it raises the kid's confidence and the sense of being competitive is instilled to the kid although too much competitiveness is a bad thing too.

op is talking about these friendly games that FIFA forced to be played. The problem with these games is that they are not games that teams take seriously, they are games like those games where friends get together and play football, that is, in friendly games the winner gets absolutely nothing. They don't win any cups, they don't win any World Cups, they simply don't win anything. but if this only ended there the problem would be minimized, the real problem with these friendly games is that they can cause many good players to get injured and when the friendly games end and these good players return injured, they harm their teams.

I gave an example

Harry Maguire has just left England national team camp as he’s set for scan after sustaining potential injury vs Brazi

There is no point in having these friendly games when there are already many competitions in a season, for example in European countries they have league games, cup games, euro qualifying games, world cup qualifying games, euro games , world cup games. There are many games that players play and that in itself is tiring, but FIFA is not thinking about the players, they are thinking about the money because of this they keep putting on meaningless friendly games and these are games that harm the teams. As soon as Harry Maguire is injured, Manchester United will be harmed and all because of unimportant games. In my opinion there should be no friendly games. do a test, bet on friendly games and you will see how unpredictable the results are and then wait for one day when there are serious games and bet and you will see that it will be more predictable. The reason is what I said: players and coaches don't take friendly games seriously

In most cases, when a father constantly watches football games of his favorite team with his son when he is still a child aged 4 and over for a long time, the child also starts to like the same team as the father, and when and as an adult, the child becomes a fan of the same team as his father. Now there are cases where parents didn't catch children when they were little and start forcing them to do and like things when they are older and that no longer works.

[ILuckyGuyI]

I'm definitely agreeing with people who think these forced international breaks are unnecessary. I really hate it. Because these breaks are likely to cause serious injuries for players like the examples you have given. 

Besides players are getting extra exhausted also. We see some performance drops because of playing in a tight schedule. FIFA can find a solution to this easily if they would like. But they just want to add more games. This year there is Euro 2024 also. Therefore I can't imagine how busy players will be even after the regular season ends for them. At least the number of friendlies could have been lowered to let them catch their breath.

[SatoPrincess]

Children often mirror their parents, it’s not unusual for a child to support the same club as his/her parents. This is often the case until they reach adolescence and are able to make certain decisions for themselves. Their views on sports, politics and other topics might change as they become more aware of the world. It wouldn’t be right then as a parent to force your kids to support your own ideologies. Moreover, a true football fan knows that club loyalty cannot be forced on a person.

Another interesting question is this, as a father would you force it on your child to also fan the same club you're a fan to, or you will allow him be himself to fan any club of his choice even if it's your most rival club of all

To be honest, the international break is quite boring for me personally, in fact I rarely watch or get involved in discussions related to the international break. What is certain is that the competition was put on hiatus for a while, and what is worse is that several key players returned to their teams injured. During the international break, I never watched the matches that were being played, let alone bet on them. That doesn't mean I don't support it, but we don't have many choices for what we watch. It's different when the League competition is running, there is a lot I can watch in various Leagues. plus interesting in betting. unless it is the world cup, I am very enthusiastic to watch it. but not with this international break.

As for the other point that is your question, in fact I will not force my will on the child. but if you already have children, especially boys. you will know that what the father does will be followed by his son. so in this case, there is no need to force yourself to be the same supporter. Naturally, the child will follow in his father's footsteps. Anyway, the League competition will start again soon, at least we will have something interesting to watch every week.

The football is so much commercialized today that people do know players by club but not by their nation. It's a good thing for players as well the fans. Good football players are earning amounts that they might have never imagined only playing through their national teams. It's a life changing moment for most of African and South American players to be signed in a poplar league. This also enables individual players to shine who would have other-way not be on a succesful national team. Ibramovich, Gareth Bale and Erling Haaland are well recognized by fans but most of them might not know which national side they play with.
FIFA International windows are important in the sense that it allows the national players playing around the world get to know each other and keep the team alive for competitive tournaments. Sudden session a month before an important tournament might not be enough to prepare for it.

No but I'm confident that there are club coaches and managers that would agree with you so their players don't get any serious injuries. Don't you have anything to do that you cannot let a week pass by without watching your club's matches?

Are you a fan of international breaks or not let's know your thoughts.

I like World Cups and other big international competitions like Euro or Copa America that's why I do not mind watching the qualifying rounds during international breaks.
