Another international break is over.
Fans are beginning to dread the two-week lull in club football. Apart from the boring fixtures, there is the risk of injuries.
In the case of Nigerian supporters, they watched in horror, as the Super Eagles were held hostage in Libya.
The Group D second leg clash was called off by the Confederation of African Football, CAF, after Libyan authorities diverted the Eagles’ flight to a remote airport. For over 18 hours, they were denied food, water and Internet access.
All this amid the talk of the effects of the increasingly hectic schedule for footballers.
“I think the thing that makes every international break feel like too much is what has come before and will come after,” Clinton McDubus, a top football analyst and podcaster.
