    FIFA are looking into the proposal to hold the World Cup every two years.
    Nothing like taking something that is special and flogging it to death until it becomes boring and meaningless but, hey, if it means a few dollars extra in the short term Infantino and co will absolutely love it.

    Let's see how it would work. It would involve another 10 qualification games involving international players every two years and they're already with clubs who claim they have to play too much so.......ooh I know, let's create some sort of special league of say....16 clubs which will involve slightly fewer league matches and allow space for the extra internationals.

    I'd replace the Euro's with a World Cup every two years. Make it 64 teams instead of 32 so Scotland qualify :D:D.

    Euros to follow suit with every 2 years and therefore there's a major tournament annually. Ridiculous to change it from 4 years.

    Players can't be happy. Hardly time for a holiday before pre-season starts.
