News of an interesting proposal by the English Premiership has just been revealed, which, if given the go ahead, could see games played in the United States.
The EPL is planning to stage 10 games a season - over one January weekend - outside England in an effort to globalize its brand. Already, the Premiership’s 20 chairmen have given the plan - which could be ratified in a year - their blessing.
So, for example, you could have Arsenal playing Manchester United in Chicago, or Liverpool versus Chelsea in Miami.
However, opposition is growing to the proposal amongst supporters’ clubs in England and soccer chiefs in other countries.
The news comes just weeks after the New York Giants and the Miami Dolphins played an NFL game at Wembley Stadium in London.
