Crazy schedule

I sensed it the first time I saw the schedule of warm-up matches before the World. I should have said it then. But, hey, I’ll say it now. Have all the team managers gone mad? Do they have to be putting them through such a hectic schedule one week before the World Cup, risking injuries to key players?
Consider the fallout… Arjen Robben (not sure), Didier Drogba, Martin Skrtel and Rio Ferdinand.
I have to question the wisdom of teams going to the most important sporting event of the decade playing warm-ups one week before the tournament begins.
