SlayerX Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Surely we won't be able to participate in the European Championships after Brexit? Also, what about the UK clubs, will they still be able to participate in European football? I know that it'll take about 5+ years for it to kick in, but has anyone got any idea how it'll work, football-wise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlayerX Posted June 2, 2017 Author Share Posted June 2, 2017 It wasn't such a stupid question: "Sports immigration lawyer Maria Patsalos, from law firm Mishcon de Reya, reassured to football fans by confirming that England could still play in European Championships. Ms Patsalos told Express.co.uk: "Membership in the EU is not relevant to the UEFA position, as the members of UEFA are entirely separate. “For example, neither Switzerland and Russia are in the EU, but are still eligible to play in European Championships such as the tournament in France this summer.”" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enigma Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 We'll also be due for some colder weather as we'll be breaking away from countries that have a nice climate like Portugal, Spain and Italy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember when I said that "there are no stupid questions, just stupid answers"? Yeah. All the best for proving my point. lol And technically, I am correct, there are no stupid questions. A question is usually asked with regards to a subject and/or matter which you aren't already aware. For example, if you don't know the process of pasteurising milk, and you're curious, you should ask. This is the true meaning of a question. Knowledge is gained from questions. I didn't know the answer to the question that I asked, and now I do. See? This is how questions work. And with that, who defines what a stupid question is? If a someone comes up and asks me what an "outline" for a novel is or what is the difference between a passive and active verb, just because I know the answer, does this give me the authority to call it "stupid"? I think not. And besides, geography and football don't always mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roman_bairn Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 It really, really was. Although it probably was, and it's rather unlikely, if the negotiations got completely out of control, it's not entirely impossible for Eu governments to put pressure on UEFA to take sanctions against 'British' nations by excluding them.With May negotiating that's not so impossible.Wouldn't blame them either....
