Once more there are stories of injuries and depleted sides due to the congested holiday schedule. Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't FIFA mention about trying to diminish situations as such due to the overscheduling for sides , especially those trying to compete in domestic and international cup ties? What is the majority reaction to the holiday fixtures in the UK these days (as compared to in the past i.e. pre Premiership)?? Personally I love it, and I enjoyed hamming the inlaws TV with Fox Sports World. (which I don't have at my home). However, I do feel that having a match with only one day's rest is a bit too much though.Doesn't it take a body (muscle fibers and tendons) at least 48-72 hours to have some form of healing
