    European soccer will pay a huge price unless this is done asap....
  2. The Special One... I Am Fantastic from Canada writes: 6 and 5 is too much. Go to the 8 and 3 like the Italian league had during its dominace.
  3. Random Person from Heard and Mc Donald Islands writes: The 3 non-EU citizenship rule is for the roster to a game,however,they can have 10 of them in the wider cadre,which still prevents the domestic players from getting jobs and it's "robbing" the supplying leagues of their talent as well...
  4. B I from Toronto, Canada writes: NO RESTRICTIONS. Globalization shouldn't be stopped at Sepp Blatter's fat ego. Both him and Platini wants the big clubs to run like communist East European steel factories. Go to hell Blatter.

    You go and watch another "English" Team playing in the EPL with no "English" players....

    BI....Not everybody is from Canada and thinks that this is alright...I understand that for you to support "natives" to play soccer,would be too hard ?....
