I think way to much is being made of the impact of the World Cup. Seeing some ridiculous notions club should be signing Italian players as aren’t in World Cup. In fact most players will likely be playing less than if they were still in PL. Obviously only half the international squad are starters, they get a 2 week warm weather camp in November. For me it will only impact a few players that go very deep. And even then I think it’s more psychological like if you lose in semi or final. If you actually win it I think you’ll bounce into rest of season. Although I must say it would be very very weird if England won it and then week later you’re playing Boxing Day fixtures.
