From what i've read about the winter break the EPL is the perfect league for it

Given you have 20 teams all equally sharing the TV money there are no easy games
like you find in other leagues where you've won after 20 minutes and coast the next 70.

The Germans take 4 weeks (currently grumbling because its down to 3)
december-january

England are talking about taking 2 in February (a little more than Spain)
- its a token gesture that most likely wont have any big effect

The reason i dont buy the fatigue factor as a silver bullet for England is they dont produce
enough top quality intelligent players across the pitch compared to the true top 10 teams.
