It looks like this could happen,as they reckon the Countries will vote for it(obviously financial reasons).

If FIFA and UEFA continue you with this saturation of their competition's,we might has well forget about the our domestic competitions.

Don't know what UEFA have to do with this tbh, I thought it was a FIFA initiative. Presumably if the world cup was every 2 years the European championships, African cup of nations and Copa Libertadores would be replaced by the extra world cup ?

If it was done like that I wouldn't personally have a problem with it as there would still only be 2 major international tournaments every four years but if they tried cramming it into the years where there currently aren't any it would cause chaos, not least because of all the additional qualifiers which would be needed.

Thought UEFA were against the idea. Prob coz it would affect the Euros.

Personally I think it’s a shit idea and agree it’s purely financial like you say. Cunts

UEFA are against it Terry, it will kill the Euros https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sport ... years.html

They are threatening to get European clubs to boycott it.
Another money grab like the ESL.

Football will eat itself soon. They moan about needing the money to continue while paying >100m for a player. Greedy cunts

Don't know what UEFA have to do with this tbh,
Didn't they introduce the Champions League(which I actually like)?
Maximum played when old European Cup : 9 games
Played now in Champions League : 13


Didn't they introduce the Europa League?
Max played when UEFA Cup : 11 games
Played now,Europa League :15

Let's not forget the qualification rounds for some..Fulham played 21 games on the way the Final one year.

European Championship qualifiers before 1996 :8 games,occasionally 6
Played now :10 Games.

Nations League(new competition introduced a few years ago))At least 6 games,if you reach the Final:9

Conference League(new competition)..See Europa League.

UEFA are even worse than FIFA.

ONLY because,it`s not their competition?No other reason.

Look at my above post about UEFA.

They are just as corrupt as FIFA.

Absolutely.

MONEY MONEY MONEY.

They don't give 2 f*cks if the players have to play all year round,.If they can make a few quid,they will have to do it.
