there is no way the world cup will be played in the summer in qatar - their normal league finishes before then, so they won't expect the world to play in ridiculous heat.
so the football calender will change for that and more than likely not revert back.
the region is slowly but surely taking over football in every manager league in the world and if they offer more money and more control for clubs, then shit could easily change.
FFS hope it doesn't happen though it probably will eventually
What a shit idea.
It seems inevitable though that something like this will happen in the not too distant future.
If the idea is shit, it will happen.Originally Posted by Marc Overmars

It's a lie, based on a spoof, taken as gospel by idiotic journalists

http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/news/f...082126288.htmlYet as Eurosport investigated further it quickly became apparent that the story's inspiration appeared to lie in a spoof French article by website Les Cahiers du Football, with almost all the details in The Times found within their story of March 10.
Jerome Latta, who wrote the article for Cahiers du Football, subsequently explained to French online publication Rue89 that he believed the story had been spread because it had an air of plausibility.
"I swear it's come entirely out of my imagination," Latta said. "I don't have a source.
"I don't know whether the project is plausible, because fans and governments might block it from happening. But in any case you can imagine it.
"The football industry has evolved so much in these last few years and as it comes in the context of a European financial crisis (as my made-up Qatari source says in the article), it seemed possible."
Amongst the details common to both stories were that the organisers aim to begin the tournament in 2015, and stage it every two years. It would be held in the summer at six cities across the Gulf.
Kay took to Twitter to defend his scoop, saying Cahiers du Football "was 100% not the source of my story, as I suspect Cahiers (with their 'DFL' imagery) know."
But in response, Cahiers du Football said: "What do you 'suspect'? We made it all up, including the picture... We know nothing about your source, if it exists."
The Times.
Quite.
But I agree with Moe. It really wouldn't surprise me if some sort of Super League did happen, and that it wouldn't be too far away.
