World Cup: Which countries' teams will be most and least tired? How much will that matter?

Endurance might play a great role in the 2010 Soccer World Cup and it is important to have a fresh line up. But with most players who competes for their motherland are campaigning in tournaments on their turfs or in Europe chances are they don’t have ample enough rest to recover their energy. South Korea took advantage before as a co-host with Japan in the 2000 edition of the Cup.

The Korean knowing that most of their opponents are easy to get tired they exploited their speed to the hilt. Indeed the Korean team used their run and gun type all throughout their games and this ploy works for them. Least tired team that time like Japan, also did well as they cruised to the second round.

Football is a grueling game and stamina can be part of the equilibrium. North Korea is least tired team too, and it is interesting how this communist country perform well in the World Cup.

I'm not sure if fitness will be that much of a factor. Most players are professionals and have fitness coaches etc to keep them in tip top condition. If I were to guess I'd say that the players from the British Premier League are likely to be the most tired as they have a very grueling season and it's supposed to be one of the hardest leagues available.

Therefore England probably have the most tired players out of all the teams in the world cup. South Africa probably have the least tired players as they haven't had to play many comptetitive games, or haven't had any games they had to win - therefore they can leave a lot more in reserve. I think that not only are the players psyched up for the event, but they are currently undergoing intensive training to make sure they are at peek fitness - England, for example, are doing high altitude training at the moment that will benefit them greatly at the world cup.

There will be times where fitness is an issue, but this is where the squad comes in - a decent squad with a decent coach should be able to maintain an overall fit squad....

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
