Well, for one because he'll have garnered them the only two championships they actually could win and secondly because they're majorly impacting his professional career. So yeah, if they win this maybe exempt him from all but WC-related comps.
Wait... you're serious aren't you?

Actually no, not really, not as in “I think they might just exempt him from further non-WC comps if they win this”-type serious, more frustrated and airing it on the forum. All the WC stuff I get 100% but the Asia-only comps that fall smack dab in the middle of our season annoy the shit outta me and I was just wishful thinking that they’d allow him to give them a swerve if/when they won it, seeing as it is damaging to him professionally. I don’t see Messi fucking off back home to Argentina to play in some regional South American comp rather than playing for Barcelona- his club would tell the national team to do one. Wish we could do the same.

***Edit*** I fucking HATE international soccer and couldn’t care less about the Asian Euros. It’s all crap to me. I’m American, and if, say, Christian Pulisic played for Spurs and there was some naff regional competition that the USA needed him for but it would make him miss a couple of our (Tottenham) matches I would be incensed. Hell, if America needed him back for ONE GAME in order to qualify for the World Cup but it meant he’d miss our league fixture against Cardiff I’d be dead set against it.

Very even game, most shots from outside the box. Qatar well in the game. Son extremely quiet
