| 🏴 Wales squad announcement for pre World Cup friendli on 15:36 - May 26 with 4157 views | pencoedjack | Probably a good end of season night out in Bucharest. Been a while since the Bassey's had more players in the Welsh squad than us. No Cullen? On a side note Brennan Johnson for value for money is up there with the worst I have seen. Awful player. |  | |  |

People will complain about players being injured and the declining standard of entertainment in football when players are being absolutely flogged to death. |  |

Playing 6th June and back for pre season 3 weeks later, there really is no need for friendlies at this time. |  | |  |

Eventually the clubs will tell the National associations to sod off. They'll have to. The International calendar has to be seriously rejigged to give players at least Six solid weeks of no games of any kind. No tournaments, no friendlies other than maybe club pre-season warmups, no qualifiers, no commercial trips to Malaysia. Nothing. If that means pausing domestic leagues to play World Cups outside the Summer then so be it. The precedent has already been set. There is simply no reason why Wales need to be playing Ghana and Romania in June. None whatsoever. [Post edited 26 May 16:33]

How anyone can expect players to be match fit a month after their last competitive game is unbelievable. Players these days remain fit throughout the summer but match fit is something different. It's a recipe for disaster with players getting injured through lack of match preparation. Thankfully it shouldn't affect our club much but it is still stupid and pointless. |  | |  |

Cancel the World Cup, keep players fit. It sounds like it would suit some, especially the village idiot. |  |

Getting silly. There are set dates for Internationals. I don't think you understand. Best leave it if you don't know how it works. |  |

Exactly. Quote from PFA chief Maheta Molango, talking about Phil Foden. "Unfortunately, he is one of the victims of this crazy calendar that only makes sense for those pursuing commercial gain to the detriment of the quality of the spectacle and the protection of players, who should be football's heritage. |  | |  |

Maybe it'll take a players strike to put an end to this nonsense. |  |

The likes of Haaland will play 65-70 games and look forward to every one. They won’t take any notice of a few village idiots . I liken it to usually workers employed by the Govt who get 35 days or more holidays, not bright enough to realise that most only get 20-25. |  |

You quite obviously have no comprehension of the demands of the modern game on a player's body... Going to the WC ? well fair enough the focused bed you lie in will be yours to own... NOT going to the WC ? risking injury etc in a meaningless friendly ?....get to fk...why? Let players lick their wounds and concentrate on club football as the WC is simply a pipedream that we have no say in... Go spend quality time with your families and come back recharged and rejuvenated.... They are humans ... Why is this even up for debate ?? |  |

Its up for debate because some individuals feel their personal enjoyment of two nonsensical fixtures is more important than player and club progression. |  | |  |

It’s up for debate because most have different views to a few on here who don’t give a stuff about International football. |  |

I think you will find you may be in the minority regarding this fixture, some of us enjoy international football but feel this fixture shouldn't be played at this time for the reasons previously given. |  | |  |

I give a stuff about international football, regularly attending the CCS for home matches (and used to travel away when I was in my 20s) so was gutted to see Wales miss out on this year's World Cup when I was at the Bosnia game. But these friendlies - as the majority on here so far agree - are utterly meaningless and nonsensical. |  |

A field 77 finished it off for me But that’s just me I see our players ,like Galbraith, getting injured playing. Fook n friendly after wales lost a Qualifier If those going abroad are going for the craic then good for them but fit many,getting pissed, talking bollox to ny foreigner that will listen is as meaningless as muttering on a football forum about political figures that make one puke Also,personally, I find nothing at all in common with Gogs or Cardiff kints so the craic is zero for me |  |
