UEFA European Football Forum

Nemesis.. let's get some facts straight: Sport law, Employee law and contract law. You're mixing it all up. I was not mixing for teh sake of it. I was mixing to show that some things are "vessatorie" (don't know the term in English), and some other are not. The right to work if someone wa...

Since employee laws sets some boundaries, for both workers and bosses, there are some mutial obligations and benefits. This is a fact UEFA has to deal with. This is all I was trying to say. You cannot go back pre-Bosman again. Obviously my English is worst than I thought, since it seems that I trul...

Can the rules of professional boxing (in Europe), directly or indirectly, force the guy to stay with that same manager any longer? No, they can't: as soon as the guy complains about his rights being denied, such rules have to change for everybody. Same with Uefa and football: you can't turn back ti...

nemesys thank you for posting that and taking the time. I intend to respond properly to it, but since I'm not quite sure what I'm going to say yet, I do want you to know it wasn't unappreciated. :smile1: Hey Lorric! Yeah, of course, no need to justify. It didn't cost me any effort to brainstorm a b...

So you want to abolish SportLaws and contractlaw in all UEFA zone? You might aswell discuss football with 2 balls, 16 blindfolded players and a naked referee. Neither is gonna happen. Uhm... if you will not yell at me, hate me, and so on, I'd like to show you things from a different perspective. I ...

I do wish people would check their facts and stop citing Iceland (and Northern Ireland) as teams that benefitted from expansion of the Euros. Northern Ireland won their group, making them one of the top 10, and Iceland, as one of the three best second placed teams, would also have qualified in a 16...

I'd add though, that it wasn't only having the extra teams that was the problem, it was the format. And that's the problem with 48 teams as well. We are inevitably headed for 64, with multiple hosts, as it will soon become clear that there is no format which suits 48 teams. Exactly! And these are t...

In a World of widely available information down to the smallest detail, on a forum of highly knowledgable people, imagine if there was a league you knew nothing about and had to predict. Would that be appealing? I've been thinking I could provide one. The fictional league idea is great, I truly lik...

- Format 48 teams in groups of 3 with PKs every match is a poor choice, extremely likely to weird scenarios, and this either with 2pts/1pt, or with 3pts/0pts, gained after PKs. Some examples of such scenarios are discussed few posts above. Format wise, 32 teams in groups of 4 is a fine solution for ...

All true and I`d have gone on with corruption, in-fighting for bonuses even before the tournament starts, crippling poverty at home, wars, famines etc., all play a role in shaping your mindset and pulling you down. I`m one of those who thought in that time that by now Africa could have had their ow...

Wow, I must be really important for you, you’re thinking about me at 03:00 AM! :shock: And to write all that it probably took you a lot of time, hours? Anyway, I don’t care about your personal life. “Shallow”, “deceptive” … take it as personal insults if you want to, I’m just labeling the ideas tha...

Their biggest problem probably the poor organization and lack of leadership. Probably also lack of a proper tactical approach, sense of position, and concentrated mentality for 90 minutes, especially in the defensive phase. They can run, they are technically skilled, but unfortunately for them in f...

Read as: "IFK, Solna, or something like that". I'm well aware IFK and Solna are two different entities. You know, it is not like I have hours of free time to read re read and re read what I write on a football forum. I care about being teh most correct possible, but sometimes, you make a ...

Btw, I can see the bugylibicska's Swiss system proposal more suitable here. But it's only on the paper. We are now talking just for the sake of academy, and about personal format preferences, so everything goes, and preferences varies from subject to subject. Swiss model is too much "league or...

and schedule (e.g. forcing a pot1 vs pot3 in MD1 trying to avoid drawish results - also, in your example, A faces the MD1 winner, but they might force it to face the loser) I strongly doubt that this will happen. Schedule is partly based on TV preferences, and TVs likes well planned ahead events to...
