1 - all five football associations from the British Islands get booted from UEFA. I do expect lots of attempts and bending over and rules bending by TV and other sponsors to keep English teams in but, besides opposition from other European associations, there is ...
2 - jet leg. It would be fly in, play, fly out back. I do not imagine this to be sustainable during your typical Sat-Wed-Sat-Wed football season as played by top teams, even having two 11's of almost equal quality (as quite a few clubs have already).
Never cared that much about the sport, myself, but from what I have seen it gets much of it's revenue, directly or indirectly, from gambling.Ans I don't see why the teams can't go in for longer, for some white and hookers.
The EPL and SPFL will dominate the Asian club football competion(s), naturaly, But there simply is not enough money in them. The EPL will have to economise - but it has lots of fat to trim.
Yeah, well, as long as Asians can gemble on something they will, and now they have premier league football in their timezone.
Would the current crop of UK politicians let nukes fly with the PLA on British soil?
Also, they are still members of NATO and a sovereign country, and Taiwan is de jure not.
The UK had been called the USA's unsinkable aircraft carrier in Europe, now it can be one in Asia.
I am more interested how the EU will react to Japan and Taiwan, industrial powerhouses in their own right, plop right next to it.
I see Taiwan probably wanting to join, and tourism will improve a lot in both diredtions.
And there are lots of potential implications for industrial manufacturing and supply chains.
