Feels like it's just a matter of time till football season would be completely cancelled.

We are there basically. Tomorrow night's Europa League matches will probably be the last until May.

Beyond that? Who knows?

Beyond that, its getting worse not better, there'll be no football for weeks if not months, so games won't be able to be played, and there'll be a backlog in all competitions, and you can't decide promotion/relegation if games remain.

It took Liverpool no longer being able to win the Champions League for our country to ban sporting events amongst other measures. Why am I not surprised.

So a Juve player tested positive. I think it’s game over now. I would expect all sporting activities to be canceled in the next few days across Europe. Just my opinion though.

Anybody still confident about the Madrid game even if it's going to be closed doors???

Boris Johnson being criticized,and forced to be more pro-active combating this disease.

I think by next week Schools will be closed,Sporting events cancelled,anything with large crowds.

WHO experts are saying this Pandemic has a long way to go yet.Not expected to peak until September.

I can not make my mind up if its over reactive scaremongering .Or if this is a real deadly threat to human life.

For perspective :

"Seasonal flu kills 291,000 to 646,000 people worldwide each year, according to a new estimate that's higher than the previous one of 250,000 to 500,000 deaths a year. The new figures from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other groups were published Dec. 13 in The Lancet medical journal."

Uefa should take a grip and stop all matches for 4 weeks, season starts from where it is now mid April and runs until mid June. cancel the euros until next summer.

We all know they won’t though as it’s all about £££$$$€€€€

it will be Stopped but won’t restart until June/July if not later.

Rather it be cancelled than behind closed doors give us a chance to go at a later date
