There is a difference between friendlies and optional exhibitions, and highly competitive exhibitions where players are expected to play their ass off. I think they're completely stupid. These players have dead legs at the end of the season as is. And yet, when players drop out, they have to give some long explanation for why they're not playing. As if they should feel bad for not representing their country.
The guys who really need to play these games are young guys. Not superstars like George. Completely stupid, meaningless tournament and I hope more superstars start backing out.
