Why do European soccer players and coaches complain about fatigue when they play so few games a season?
Oh, come on, you so-called soccer experts. Your answers really have done nothing more than make the case for the asker’s argument. 1. For example, C_millionaire concedes that Arsenal plays only 57 games at most per season. Well, that’s still way below a mediocre NBA team that plays 82 games without making the playoffs. Arsenal is a top Premier League side. A better comparison would be to compare the NBA champs, such as the San Antonio Spurs of last season, who have to play at least an additional 16 games in 4 playoff series to become champions, or 98 games (most likely more since they would have to sweep all 4 playoff series so the actual number of games is probably over 100). I mean, be serious, guys. Teams that are at the middle or bottom of the Premier League don’t get to play extra games in the Champions League. Can you imagine Derby County or Fulham, who are facing relegation, playing more than the 38 domestic games??? The guy who answered that teams in the Premier League play 90+
