I'm not surprised at all. Long term I think if FIFA had their way, they'd have international football all year round and there'd simply be no realistic way for players to commit fully to both club and country. The modern football schedule is only getting worse.

Nah, they want high value, not high volume.

The last time FIFA proposed a schedule change they wanted one 28 day window instead of five ten day windows. Seven match days instead of ten. Even with world cups every two years most teams would play fewer matches.
