SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Brazilian soccer players will take action at this week's domestic league matches to demand fewer games, a longer pre-season and a greater say in decisions, pressure group Common Sense FC said on Tuesday.

With first, second and third division games halted for a month because of the 2014 World Cup, clubs are being asked to play more matches in midweek to compensate.
