@dezoel To each his own, of course I was slightly exaggerating how much I hate internationals but a question does crop up every now and then on why Europe doesn't just do a proper football calendar like the rest of the world (then one big break in between seasons for all internationals). I know it's not as simple as that (seasons play a part I guess, e.g. Africa not nice to play in the hottest months) but part of the problem is how the seasons don't sync. The Americas, Asia, all play a full season in a calendar year (Africa follows Europe I think for the most, but they start really late anyway might as well push it to start the next year).
Anyway, I'll take international over no football any day.
I have to say that is a wonderful idea, alternatives are definitely better than what we have right now. Like for example a big break during winter for the qualifiers could be a great deal, we already have few breaks her and there, which means that it shouldn't really change the way leagues take, it could still be late august or early September to late may for all the leagues with one month or even 2 weeks off during January for example. Anyway, I'll take international over no football any day.
Weather could be a problem in that case but I am sure that stadiums are good enough with heating under the pitch that it shouldn't be a big problem for that long, or at least that game could be postponed and would be just one game. It is a wonderful idea.
The pre-season is bad, yes, but that's expected and we want everyone to rest and reset, etc. But internationals are interruptions. 2 or 3 weeks of pointless games usually (sorry but Nations League, for example, is a glorified friendly tourney), where players get injured and worse, team form is thrown out the window (makes it impossible to bet sometimes).
