Ultimately this comes down to Money as Football always does these days, i agree with the FIFA medical chief and don't see how you can safely play a contact sport for 90 mins without contact, the fact that every player, member of staff etc would leapfrog the general public with testing will cause fucking uproar too.
It's gonna be interesting to see what the FA come up with next week.!
I want it back asap but is football so important in the UK that we can't just follow France etc and stop the season now?

FIFA medical chief Michel D’Hooghe has insisted football should not return until September 1 at the earliest.
The Premier League are still determined to finish this season but are running out of time amid serious health concerns because of the coronavirus crisis.

D’Hooghe, chairman of FIFA’s Medical Committee, said: “The world is not ready for competitive football, I hope this can change very quickly and I sincerely hope that. Today you need more patience.
"This is the most dramatic situation we have lived in since the Second World War. We should not underestimate it, we must be realistic.
"Football can only be possible if contact is possible again. Football remains a contact sport and avoiding contact is one of the first things everyone says is that you should avoid contact.

"It's still about social distancing. Testing is an important point but you have to repeat them. If one of the players becomes positive, you have to put the whole group into quarantine. Is that a solution for a normal competition?
