How do they expect to do the leagues? Because they'd need to take a month off to play it plus whatever time for the players to recover + train before the tournament, so that's a minimum of ~3 months out of a season.


Thats one factor that will benefit England players imo .. most other leagues have winter breaks but the epl players are used to playing a heavy schedule over the winter period

If the cunt's gonna last that long.
On a serious note, imo the nations with shitloads of players in big leagues should fuck all the adjustments for domestic seasons, keep everything as it is and simply send their u-17 or even u-16 teams to compete there. Then we would see how they try shit like that again


They leagues/clubs can't retain their players. It's up to the FA's and we know they won't do shit unfortunately.

It depends on the leagues, I guess. I hear that some leagues are considering going for a shorthened format (one normal round, plus half a second round... like lets say 19 games + a second round with 9 games against the top or bottom half placed teams at the end of the first round), some will go for a 2 group format followed by a playoff round of some sort that will allow the league to save up games, some leagues might push some games to what would be their winter/summer break, etc.

Nah, the IOC is less of a joke (at least for now). They already rejected Doha's bid for the Summer Olympics because they wanted to host the event in January.

This is the start of the introduction of a winter break in PL becoming a permanent fixture.
