It's probably because its the world cup season and players want to
save their strength for it.I bet there will be a few at it
that's a good point but if you are not playing well and regularly for
your club i think it's unlikely you'll be getting on the plane to South
Africa if you are English.
there's lots of competition for almost every position in the
English team so i think that strategy would only work if you are
almost guaranteed a place like Wayne Rooney etc. but i'll bet
there are a few who come from countries where there is very
little competition for places who are doing just as you said. :thumbsup:
