  • FIFA vs UEFA all out war: the end of Fantasy Scout?

    Back in one of our discussions about FS rule changes, I once suggested
    that we should count points in terms of Champions League appearance
    and goals (instead or in addition to NT caps and goals).

    milivella shot down that idea on the grounds that we have no way to
    know that the Champions League will remain the top club competition in
    eternity -- maybe one day it will be surpassed by MLS, the Chinese
    League, the Saudi Pro League or what not. On the other hand, so
    milivella claimed, we can rest assured that international football
    will continue to exist.

    Given recent developments, could it possibly be that milivella was
    wrong?

    In brief:
    - The Champions League risked failure way before the World Cup (remember
    the Super League?).
    - Even if some nations secedes from FIFA, they would still play
    international matches, right?

    So: no, milivella was not wrong. :)
