Still don’t believe it.
This is FIFA we are talking about, once Nike, Adidas and the other sponsors come breathing down their neck because Messi and Ronaldo aren’t allowed to participate in the World Cup, they’ll cave

This is more likely to be the death of FIFA, than it is to have FIFA ban players/teams.

Are there any countries in Europe who have fans that cheer for non local clubs?


Celtic wouldn't be CELTIC without its Irish fans

All the money in the world still doesn’t make you Giants of Europe if your only playing clubs from 3 countries.

Winner of Super League(I can’t help picturing captain underpants when I hear this name )
But not giant of Europe

How do you become a European giant if you're inevitably stuck between 16th and 20th place in a 20-team competition?

Some giant.

I'm sure Davis Luiz craves the opportunity to get his arse kicked by world class strikers every time he puts his boots on.

ESL matches aren't even going to be any better than current UCL matches from the R16 on. The significance of the matchups will be so watered down once the novelty is over. If you think players and managers are bringing UCL knockout round intensity and preparation to every ESL match you're horribly mistaken.

So you think these 6 club’s players will not be allowed to play for England in the coming European Championship and the next World Cup?

You understand what mechanisms the UK government has to effectively kill this, correct? And you understand that what you suggested wouldn't be the purview of the government?

Yes I’m sure the fans of Ajax and Porto and all the other sides that have beat these 12 teams on the field in CL are just going to call you European Giants now that they are too scared to play them
