@PerfectTrev@_SoccerThoughts@herculezg I Rather get injured during the World Cup knowing I made it than have people ask me if I ever went, only to think about the one time I got injured in a pointless friendly 1 week before the World Cup. Makes a huge difference.
@storyofdock@drisky_biz@herculezg Friendly has no points. Group stage has points. Friendly isn’t the World Cup. Group stage is the World Cup. Incentives, bonuses, general financial overall perks. Besides during your career or in retirement people will ask if you’ve ever played in the World Cup, huge difference.
