I don't get the point of not taking a break though, are they like some kind of robots that they can afford to not take a break and that even if they do this all year long, they wouldn't experience any kind of mental breakdown? Football players are pretty much humans like the fans so I don't agree about not taking breaks, even if they make a lot of money, I don't think that no money can provide them the care that's equal to taking a break.

op is talking about these friendly games that FIFA forced to be played. The problem with these games is that they are not games that teams take seriously, they are games like those games where friends get together and play football, that is, in friendly games the winner gets absolutely nothing. They don't win any cups, they don't win any World Cups, they simply don't win anything. but if this only ended there the problem would be minimized, the real problem with these friendly games is that they can cause many good players to get injured and when the friendly games end and these good players return injured, they harm their teams.

I gave an example

There is no point in having these friendly games when there are already many competitions in a season, for example in European countries they have league games, cup games, euro qualifying games, world cup qualifying games, euro games , world cup games. There are many games that players play and that in itself is tiring, but FIFA is not thinking about the players, they are thinking about the money because of this they keep putting on meaningless friendly games and these are games that harm the teams. As soon as Harry Maguire is injured, Manchester United will be harmed and all because of unimportant games. In my opinion there should be no friendly games. do a test, bet on friendly games and you will see how unpredictable the results are and then wait for one day when there are serious games and bet and you will see that it will be more predictable. The reason is what I said: players and coaches don't take friendly games seriously

Another interesting question is this, as a father would you force it on your child to also fan the same club you're a fan to, or you will allow him be himself to fan any club of his choice even if it's your most rival club of all times.

Probably the most pathetic and stupid thing that you can do to your kid, to have them continue what you're dreaming of as if that's how you should do things as a parent, unless you're a really bad parent that would want to raise a kid that doesn't love you and will grow to resent you then yes you could force them to like the fan club that you're a fan of, if they show interest then it's good to at least be that way but forcing them when they don't want to is not the way to go. It also is a good idea to allow them to be a fan of other clubs or a rival one at that, it raises the kid's confidence and the sense of being competitive is instilled to the kid although too much competitiveness is a bad thing too.

In most cases, when a father constantly watches football games of his favorite team with his son when he is still a child aged 4 and over for a long time, the child also starts to like the same team as the father, and when and as an adult, the child becomes a fan of the same team as his father. Now there are cases where parents didn't catch children when they were little and start forcing them to do and like things when they are older and that no longer works.
