12th November 2011? Why not footie?

Why are there no games being played on the weekend of the 12th November?

There are no Euro 2012 matches being played? And nor do there appear to be a round of international friendlies?

There are world cup qualifying matches in Asia and the Americas, but is this really a good enough reason for stopping europeant club football?

The play offs for the final Euro 2012 places is at that time.

Play-offs for some nations, but it seems that most are just taking the weekend off.

Some will, but I can't imagine that all can be bothered to schedule a game at such short notice.

I would still deem a weekend with no football more interesting than a weekend with international friendlys. :lol:

I disagree. Id like to watch Joleon Lescott, Phil Jagielka, Gareth Barry, Jordan Henderson and Andy Carrol take on a depleted and less than motivated Sri Lanka XI.
