Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

That's UEFA's view.

A knobhead nearly calling UEFA knobheads. That's amusing.

What's happening with the Juventus v Lyon game?

Has to be cancelled surely but has of now it's still just behind closed doors

That's UEFA's view.

Uefa are ok with a continent-wide pandemic as long as the income stream flows!

Can't the clubs refuse to play it

Can't see Lyon wanting to travel to Italy.

The coronavirus in Spain is taking off quickly & will soon be like the Italian situation. There will be no chance of Spanish fans attending & most likely it wont even take place.

I can see a scenario where the Euro’s are cancelled and possibly played next year which frees up the summer to have everybody finish their seasons then ahead of the new season in August. In a scenario where we are still cancelling sporting events in the mid-late summer then football isn’t going to matter as the world will be on its knees.

Spanish holding a meeting in next couple of hours to discuss whether to stop La Liga. If that happens then football is finished this season.

Yes Getafe have already done that for their game against Inter and I think Roma can't travel for their game in Sevilla has they haven't been authorised travel just seeing if UEFA sanctions the clubs which will be stupid but nothing would suprise me with them

That would be the game changer

Can't see anyway the chumps league will be completed.

Shame if its call cancelled. Have to just go play in the newly formed Etihad League. City v City u18, winner takes £500m.

where have you seen thi smate, thats huge if it happens as they will have to pull out of champions league as well

It's only a matter of time before a football player from one of the top European Leagues gets infected (of course I hope not)
Then his entire team is sent to isolation, the teams that played against her are sent to solitude and those who played against the teams that faced her before also are sent to isolation.
She wont be able to play in the league,cups or European leagues,
I don't see a chance for this season to end as planned somehow. There will be no euro this year, nor will the Olympics. A huge economic blow to dozens and hundreds of countries in the world because of a virus. unbelievable

Hannover 96 player is infected. Bundesliga 2 though.

 

[BosnianBlue]

How the hell can the season be cancelled yes would be endless years of piss taking of the scousers but think about it what happens to the promotion and relegation clubs would contest all decisions, the mind boggles at what the outcome would be and how it would work.

Leeds would get fucked too, lol.

 

[bumbleblue]

I have unilaterally decided that I am not going to games until we have a clear idea of the real situation . It’s just not worth the risk. So hopefully see you next season.

 

[Wanderingwolf]

interesting to see what develops here

 

[Phil1]

Spanish league goes and the rest will follow suit slowly but surely.
