Re: How to make a viable World Super League?

Wouldn't this logistically be impossible?? Who would want the travel
demands? It would take a month to properly prepare, travel and play in
South America if you're a European team -- and vice versa. And the
costs? Can't imagine it's feasible.

I have an old FIFA video game for the PC that had a SuperLeague
component--and you could also build custom leagues--it was a blast. But
it's the stuff of fantasy only.
