World Cup Withdrawal Symptoms

Why can't we have football on every day. Fifth place play-offs, and so on. Enough to ensure we do not have days with no matches at all. The human condition is such that you get use to a steady supply of world cup football. We crave the next match, not matter what the importance. Togo versus Saudi Arabia is not a match you see outside the tournament in a meaningful way. Friendlies are just are not the same. Come on FIFA take the medical advice and feed our addiction in a way that doesn't stress the body then wean us off slowly by following the final with the women's version or the U20 version, anything to make the withdrawal bearable. Come FIFA play ball!
