[QUOTE="FrenchFan, post: 792348, member: 70871"] You got that wrong on 2 counts First FFR is fully responsible as they are solely in charge of the national team. LNR and the clubs have no say whatsoever. And this is part of the problem. Instead of making the clubs major stakeholders in the running of the national team - which smart politics would imply - esp. when the clubs are the ones providing the players! Then your point about clubs mismanaging players does not apply in the context of the WC as you mentioned. It's the one competition when the players are at full disposal of the national selector for an extended period. They don't play for their club during that tie. The internationals were in camp before the WC (August) and away from their club during the entire competition (September October). So they were fit and fresh and not being 'flogged'. Yet it made no difference in the end. [/QUOTE]
