Ilistened to him last night. Talked about why so many fail when they heard overseas. Described it as you can't be prepared for how hard it is to make it in a good European league. When he moved, he was just not ready mentally and physically for the 1st Div in Portugal, he was at first disappointed to drop down to 2 div, but quickly understood why- you're playing with people who will climb over your dead body to make it, a culture that we lack here. My read is he sees international football as a distraction at this phase of his career. He was unwilling to comment about it last night when asked.
