The solar max is not yet finished, things are still churning around just below the sun’s surface. So now with the World Cup won by Germany you might think there was a break from soccer for a month. Not so! The transfer market for expensive players is active, there is pre-season training, pre-season friendlies and qualifiers for many of the various new season cups.
