[QUOTE="saulan, post: 1159662, member: 60236"] This is a point I've seen raised. But I would also point this out from Reddit (was from before the Quarter Finals): 1) We rested our players efficiently in the group stages. Clearly there was an eye on game time and most of or players were in the 145-180 minute range. Only player who has played most minutes is Willemse, and he is one of our youngest 2) We had a two week gap coming into the France game. Our team is relatively rested in general. That France game was massive, but the expectation was always going to be that you needed to do three weeks big in a row, and they'll be prepped for that.
