Monkeh Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 New tournament to run every 2 years with promotion and relegation and stuff! Another way to make money and another tournament for us to do shit at! Thoughts? it would just clog up an already busy fixture list, Perhaps during the summer months but then players will suffer with burn out due to not getting enough rest pre-season (according to their managers anyway) While I would like to see somthing like that its just not practical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdliketoRogerMoore Posted March 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 So how does it work? Who takes partnot really sure uefa have prelimery given the go ahead with suggesting some teams might win qualification to the euros and world cups! Also I seen getting rid of most friendlys to make room! 54 countries split into 4 divisions with semis and a final maybe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IdliketoRogerMoore Posted March 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Been approved will start 2018 although exact details to be finalised! Good news I think! And money maker for uefa! (Me being cynical) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderbeans Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 In all honesty, it should be a tournament for the best of the players who haven't quite made the grade professionally. The actual professionals have too much going on in their fixture list to then deal with this and it would provide a stage for the onea that haven't quite made it to show what they can do and have another stab at it whilst at the same time, represent their country.

Guest Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 It will only be as good as how serious teams taking part take it. Saying whether it is a good or bad move until that is clear is a shot in the dark, but it is refreshing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristolcitysweden Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 New tournament to run every 2 years with promotion and relegation and stuff! Another way to make money and another tournament for us to do shit at! Thoughts? A Champions League tournament involving the best teams in the world is the future. Current CL will get EL status. World Cup should be closed down. Nation against nation belongs to the history luckily enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 World Cup should be closed down. Nation against nation belongs to the history luckily enough. I could not possibly disagree more. Imo the world cup is a fantastic occassion and something truly remarkable. The sanctity of the World Cup needs utmost protection which makes lobbying FIFA a worthwhile prospect. Otherwise I'd be first in line to follow boxing etc and back a breakaway governing body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
