What are you basing this off of? When has this ever happened? Or are you just trying to make poo poo up to back up your argument.

It happened all the loving time, how insularly English can you be to not even notice the decades long battles between the top European clubs and the smaller national federations of the world in the 90s and 00s, every time international duty came up? It happened so often that the rule was introduced by FIFA, at the urging of just about everyone outside of UEFA.

If you're asking about sticking to the letter of the law while violating the spirit, Chelsea setting up their 60 player squad loan-to-sell farm to generate profits as a way of beating FFP is a good example of what the enterprising businessmen and lawyers running those clubs can and will come up with.

why does it make a difference if they get paid 12 million on january first once a year or 1 million a month?

Dunno that it does? Perhaps it helps them keep their direct debits sorted out.

I guess my point was about players getting paid to play for their country, they don't need to be as they're already getting paid. The reason clubs are succesful businesses and players are well paid is because of the success of organised football. To get that advantage everyone agreed that clubs release players to national sides when asked and the players go and play. Doesn't matter what some contract between club and player says.

To be perfectly clear I think the rule that a player is banned from club play if called to an international is good, I just don't think patriotic fetishism needs to enter the conversation. Liverpool can't play him, now it's up to him if he caps for Cameroon or not. If he plays, he should get paid a reimbursement for his literal job and the possibility of long term damage to his livelihood

they only skip friendlies and even then its ridiculous that international football takes place during the season. this would never be a thing, outside of matip's strange circumstances, if this was the case.

Either way fifa is rich as gently caress and can definitely afford to help poorer nations compensate their players and its a joke they don't. remember when togo got banned from international football because they pulled out of a tournament when their team bus got shot up

I'm not sure how many times I need to say this. Matip is not dodging international duty. He does not want to play international football. At all. Why should he be obligated to?

Have Liverpool fans forgotten the antagonism between Rodgers and Hodgson over Sturridge?

There's also Wenger vs. Hodgson (again) over Wilshere.

This was all in 2014. I remember both managers whined and cried about their players needing a long rest. IIRC, this was after they ran them into the ground, both before and after the friendly break.

The antagonism between Hodgson and Rodgers was because Sturridge got injured every time he played for England (usually because he was being called up when not fully fit). Again, this situation is completely different.

This says a player can avoid international duty if they communicate in writing to the country before they're called up. Matip is in trouble because he never sent a letter to the Cameroon FA, he was selected for the provisional squad and then told them he wouldn't participate
