Thank you, so much, Chicken.
I know it's a bit arbitrary, but how about May 1, 2010 as an opening date for the World Cup Board? It would give us 2 weeks of the Premiership, and three or four of La Liga and Serie A?

Definitely. The seasons will all end earlier this year for the World Cup. Spain normally ends in early June, but they are going to cram the phuck out of matches to finish in mid-May.

This season's finishing dates:

ENGLAND - May 9th
SPAIN - May 16th
GERMANY - May 8th
ITALY - May 16th
FRANCE - May 15th

And many of these players won't get TOO much rest before qualifying for next year's Champions League and Europa League starts. FIFA has got to do something about fixture congestion for the sake of the game.
