sepp blatter and the younger dryas
FIFA president Sepp Blatter (see above) wants to move the European club season from their present schedule to one that runs from February to November, not too unlike MLS. (So much for Eurofication along those lines). Blatter also contends he is set to instill the ‘6-plus-5 plan’, the oft discussed idea of requiring six citizen players to outnumber 5 foreigners in the name of club and country.
This is awful rich for a Monday morning. What does it all mean? Has MLS been handed a big candy bar? Will European club teams get worse while national teams improve? Where will all the Brazilians go? Is this the first step toward socialist soccer?
Look on the bright side: if the 2003 Pentagon Report is correct, and the Atlantic Ocean’s thermohaline conveyor breaks down sending Western Europe into an ice age, similar to what happened during the Younger Dryas about 13,000 years ago, summer really will be the best time to play soccer.
