Do football players ever have any time off? I'm kind of shocked they aren't just riddled with injuries from playing so much.

Good luck to Leeds. :)

Hee. They do! Might not see like it this year because of the World Cup, but they do. Most of the lads in our squad have had about three months off since the end of last season because they weren't involved in their national squads. They've played a few friendlies in the UK, Norway, and Slovakia in the last four weeks but nothing important. It's a different story for most of the Premier League guys though. They'll have finished the season, gone off to their national squads for the World Cup, come back and gone on tour with their clubs, and they'll be playing again next weekend.

It only really feels constant in World Cup and European Cup years. Next summer they'll get a bit more of a break.
