The debate of international dates rages on as Sepp Blatter went against Sir Alex Ferguson’s suggestion that European clubs only want six internationals in a year and none during the summer months as to allow players to rest.The president of FIFA stated shortly after Ferguson’s comment by saying that national teams should play more games, up to 16 games a year, rather then their 12 currently.People have to understand that when the players are making this much money, all these things play a part in it and all this hoopla is apart of it and that’s the way it is.FIFA, UEFA and the clubs have to find a way to continue to get the money coming in and some think they play too much but when you are making £250,000 per week then somehow money has to come back into the companies that are involved.n n nBrazil fans need to be patient because the coach is in the process of making up his team for the 2014 World Cup and they are the host and a lot will be expected of them.He is using a lot of young players as he tries to assemble a team worthy of putting on the yellow jersey and I can tell you that by the time the World Cup comes around they will be ready, both them and Argentina.People are getting to see the younger players and aren’t sure of them because they don’t know their names, the only older guys on the pitch was the goalkeeper, Julio Cesar,and their skipper,Lucio, but you can’t get mad at this and in the end it will work out for them.They are going in the right direction, and it was a good decision to give a showing to Ronaldinho, he gave the side the experience they needed and he is playing well at the moment in Brazil.Most South American players that go to Europe use their identity and their flair to get the attention of people and now that he has gone back to Brazil he still has the skill and it is nice to see him back and on the field because he is a very good player still.n n nThe two Manchester sides will continue to create the pace at the top of the table when Wigan travel to City, while United go to the Reebok Stadium and battle with Bolton.One thing about Wigan is that they will try and play football and that’s a credit to their coach, Roberto Martinez, he’s not defensive minded and he can’t afford to be in this match.When you look at City, they should be going to most places looking to hand out a lot of licks and that is their standard now with the team they possess.They have such a fantastic squad and the teams in the top six should be aware of them, although all of them have good teams.United will also face the tricky task of going to Bolton, but what people have to understand is that United is a great institution and just to put on the jersey is a great honour and I look for them to get something out of that game.They are proven over the years and they have nothing else to prove to anyone.The game of the weekend will see Wolves welcome Tottenham to their pitch and it should be an interesting match to say the least.Wolves don’t have the money to compete with the bigger clubs but they play with heart and they have players that will give you 100 percent every week and that’s why they are were they are in the table at the moment.They will shock a few teams because you can’t play every game just on skill, you have to have people in the side that are down for the cause and that’s what Wolves have.West Ham welcome to Portsmouth today and we got some good players before the transfer window closed to get us back into the top flight because it is about going right back up, not looking pretty and staying down.In that division it’s not about playing the ball around looking good because that’s not the top level, the objective is to get back to the top adn we have the components to return back to we were rightfully belong.
