They need to ease off knee jerk reactions. Back in March football would never be played again according to some. Leagues should be ok. The Premier League and Bundesliga proved it can be done with proper protocols in place. There are now blueprints for major leagues to follow.
International games being played in the present circumstances is absolutely bonkers. All the players needlessly travelling and at risk for pointless games, well in Europe anyways. Just wait until some players pick it up off being on planes etc. A mess waiting to happen!
I think it a lot of the FA's need the money. It seems a huge risk and I would be surprised if a few teams don't have a few issues. The Champions League/Europa League has already had a few postponements. Ligue 1 in France not being handled very well compared to the Premier League and Bundesliga. A lot of the players I presume have children who will be returning to schools which could also make it more difficult
