i think thats not possible in next 50 years, bec. footbal related with economy much. if asian echonmy and culture develop as europe, football can rise to the same level, also development of football related with culture

The only thing you have to do in this life is die. The rest is voluntary. \n\nTherefore there no obligations whatsoever to support a team that is from your country or your city. If you live in Liverpool or Glasgow, most people would argue you cannot support Liverpool AND Everton. Celtic AND Rangers (there is a religious divide in each case) but I don't see why not, if you want to do so. It may be unusual but it is not unthinkable.\n\nSimply support those teams that look worthy of your support. The ones that play fluent, exciting football.\n\nPut it this way. You are not obliged to bet on your local team and risk your money on their doing well. If you don't think they will do well, you save your money instead. Similarly, you are not obliged to support and cheer for your local team if you think they are no-hopers, You save your breath instead.\n\nThe problem of course is the conventional thinking of many football fans, "my country, right or wrong" (blind unswerving patriotism) is transmuted into "my team, good or useless".\n\nThey expect you to conform to their thinking. But if you think differently, act accordingly. It is not a matter of loyalty. It is simply a matter of using your time well and not investing your emotional energy and belief in a team that won't repay that support with results.\n\nWhen Nottingham Forest were riding high in the early 80s  and they had three strikers in the England Team and won the European Cup two years in a row, they were a team worth supporting. But Woodcock Birtles and Francis all were sold within 2 years, they slid down the table and the team regularly got relegated, They haven't really been very interesting tp watch since Cloughie hit the bottle and since Roy Keane was sold in 1993.\n\nSo I don't support them any more. Would you?\nIt is no fun being an emotional punchbag and just like a marriage breaking up, being let down by a string of poor results means you leave.\n\nIf you have any sense, you do!\n\nIf "being with your mates" means a series of depressing wakes, following one defeat after another, I can't see the point. What kind of cameraderie is that? Get yourself some new mates and a cause worth supporting, I would argue. \n\nYou have to be willing to swim against the tide.\n\nAnd another thing, this unthinking jingoism created by "law of bloke" fails to take into account that people have multiple and complex identities, eg they arrived here as a refugee from another country, or they have parents from two different countries and are living in a third. Are they to ignore these sides of themselves because Law of Bloke says so?\n\nI can remember when Viv Richards was the most attacking batsman in the world and West Indian friends of mine felt guilty for supporting the West Indies when they played Test matches against England: they felt obliged and pressurised to support their adopted home country. "Don't be daft!" I told them and explained that I had gone out of my way to watch Viv Richards bat, because he was a brilliant batsman and the sheer entertainment value of a Richards century when he was on song, was what made cricket entertaining for me. What did it matter where he was from?\n\nSo like a manager, a fan has to talent-spot and follow the very best and most exciting players, wherever they are playing, and whoever they are playing for. Loyalty to talent and quality over-rides loyalty to a particular team.

Serious answer after all the rubbish already posted...The crown and anchor english pub is about 300 yards from the excaliber casino and shows all english football on a cinema screen in the bar.They also serve a roast dinner on a Sunday the like of which you will not find that side of the atlantic.

Good question!\n\nI think Bavaria would do quite well as it is the biggest Land and Bayern seem to have invested well in their youth system. Schweinsteiger, Ottl, Lahm, Fürstner etc.. all up and coming talent.\n\nNice to have an intelligent question for once!

yeah. its like any team which wants it more on that day would probably win.fans ,strategies,hard work really count.unlike the premiership where if the top 4 clubs are involved u know the result that the bigger team wins.

I honestly believe that England could win it but, they won´t, as you say they have a strong team on paper but unfortunately on the pitch they never seem to produce that magic that they are meant to posses. I can say the same for Spain where i stay, they have had and still have an extremely good team on paper but when it comes down to it they never seem to be able to play toghether just like England. Now don´t you think that this could have something to do with all the foreign players in the leagues nowadays?? What is Football going to be like in 5 years, i mean look at countries like Scotland etc. who dont have a good player anymore because the youth sistem has gone down the drain, i just hope this does not happen in England or Spain although it looks like its happening now.

I believe it's in the region of £3.5 million BUT add into that the tv revenue,  merchendising, gate takings, qualification into the financially lucrative Champions league we are talking A LOT of dosh.\n\nChelsea i would guess would benefit in the region of £20-30 million but you can't really put your finger on the amount as it's not an exact science

Ofcourse Yes!!  Because FIFA, their home countries and the like will give them a huge amount of money with out considering the moral richness.\nIn addition, the players would be bought by rich European clubs.

even though I am a West Ham fan, good luck to you goonies...and that hurts...but English teams take first priority over disklie of minging north london sides. Just like to say the odds of gerrard scoring a 30 yard belter from outside the box in the world cup are 1000-1, cheeky sod.

UEFA five star stadiums in England (capable of hosting Champions League finals):\nOld Trafford (Manchester United) \nSad, it's just the only one\n\nUEFA four star stadiums in England (capable of hosting UEFA Cup finals):\nAnfield (Liverpool)\nCity of Manchester Stadium (Man City)\nSt Mary's Stadium (Southampton)\nStadium of Light (Sunderland)\nVilla Park (Aston Villa)\n\nOf the others, I would pick:\nEmirates Stadium (Arsenal)\nSt James' Park (Newcastle)\nStamford Bridge (Chelsea)\nGoodison Park (Everton)\nRiverside Stadium (Middlesbrough)\nWembley, if it is ready by then. If not then I'll have to borrow the Millennium Stadium from Wales...
