The French Football Federation has put on the table the idea to
celebrate a yearly European 4 NATIONS Tournament, following in
the style of European Rugby´s 6 Nations Tournament.
The French have put up France, Germany, Italy & Spain as the incial
sides with the possibilty of inviting England.The tournament would be
held straight after the end of the Spanish League & in France.
The idea is born from the fact that the mentioned National sides play
relatively little between themselves & this option would be good for the
European Fans. The only "difficulties" would be:
1. The tight Football Calendar already in place - World Cup, Euro &
FIFA Confederation Cup games
2. Players local Clubs adversity to having their stars play more & risk
injury
3. Economic compensations.
4. Non participating Nations "jealously"
Point 2 & 3 maybe overcome by TV rights cash flows which would be
significant. While the 4th point maybe solve be a system of rotating
invitations.
It´s an idea & it will be thought out, no doubt the fans & European
Football wins, but it´s the Calendar that needs solving. Stay tuned!
Whats your view?
