Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 3901777, member: 405"] It won't. Africa Cup years is always hard on European pro leagues, where the best players can miss about 5 weeks in January and February, the real dog days of the season. This is going to be like that, but with 3 times as many players gone. They have no choice but to suspend operations, plus probably 10 days afterwards for the ones who reach the semifinals or finals. That will make 3 years in a row that the powers that be in soccer change the schedule on the players, wrecking normal summer recovery because they will be compressing the schedule again. [/QUOTE]
