LONDON - English and Spanish cup competitions could be completed in June 2022, after a World Cup in Qatar, under proposals being presented to FIFA next week by leading European clubs. Kamar Aiken Jersey .The European Club Association is proposing an April-May timeframe for the World Cup, arguing it would be less disruptive to the season than FIFA President Sepp Blatters favoured November-December solution for avoiding playing in the fiercest summer heat in Qatar.The ECA outline for an April 28-May 29 tournament envisages European clubs which usually start their seasons in August pushing that date forward by up to two weeks in 2021. The 214-club organization then found space for only 48 domestic league and cup fixtures before a suggested April 18 player-release cutoff for the World Cup.Teams in the English, Spanish, French and Italian top-flight competitions play 38 league games, leaving only 10 slots to fulfil domestic cup obligations. For English Premier League teams, there are up to seven games in the League Cup and up to six rounds of the FA Cup.So international players could have to return to their clubs immediately after a grueling World Cup campaign for further competitive matches before a summer break.In countries with a significant amount of domestic fixtures, the domestic cup could be played following the World Cup in a compact cup-only period in June, the ECA proposal outlines ahead of Mondays FIFA Qatar 2022 Task Force meeting.The ECA proposes condensing the Champions League format to play the round of 16 over two weeks rather than a month, and removing the international double-headers in March. But that could leave up to five months between international competition and the World Cup for nations which qualify.That proposal also would leave only 10 days between clubs being obliged to release players on April 18 and the World Cup kicking off for teams to squeeze in rest, training and a warm-up game. Before this years tournament in Brazil, some teams played three friendlies in the final weeks of preparation.Qatar was awarded the 2022 World Cup hosting rights in a 2010 vote on the basis of a traditional June-July tournament in air-cooled stadiums. But Blatter has said it is not rational to play in Qatar in the summer when temperatures rise above 40 Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit).Looking at a decade of statistics, the ECA said the hottest temperature in Qatar in April and May is 33.8 C (93 F). That would be less extreme, according to the ECA, than the heat at Mexico in 1986, the United States in 1994 and Brazil this year.Although Blatter has said a November 2022 kickoff will work, ECA Chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge maintains his April-May proposal is the best option.It takes into account the climate issue while preserving the traditional running of a club football season, Rummenigge said. The impact on national team fixtures and UEFA Club Competitions remains limited and the proposal has no impact at all on the (likely February 2022) Winter Olympics or the confederations tournaments in 2023.This proposal needs to be seriously considered by all stakeholders: it is an achievable solution.But Europe is divided over the Qatar dates. The European Professional Football Leagues said last week that the event should not move from June-July, warning of damage to domestic competitions from a scheduling shift.___Rob Harris can be followed at www.twitter.com/RobHarris Jabaal Sheard Jersey .

The 86-year-old retired transit worker figures he is an increasingly rare kind of baseball fan. "Look around, do you see many people keeping score?" he asked. No indeed. Between batters and between pitches, most fans in the stands at Wrigley -- and everywhere else in the majors -- take their eyes off the game to peck away at smartphones, phablets, tablets and iPads. Few bother to figure out the baseball hieroglyphics that Weber and other purists lovingly scrawl on their cards. The Cubs are hoping to add a massive video scoreboard to Wrigley as early as next year in what would be the biggest renovation at Wrigley since lights were installed more than a quarter century ago. The plan has stirred plenty of opposition, with many wondering if modern electronics will rob some of the mystique that surrounds the venerable ballpark, which hosted its first game on April 23, 1914 -- 100 years ago Wednesday. The scene in the stands illustrates how Wrigley is already a modern park and in fact got there faster than some of the newer, shinier stadiums around the country. The Cubs were the first to install a moving walkway back in the 1950s (it was removed a few years later) and in 2012 were one of the first teams in the majors to offer Wi-Fi. "The Cubs were ahead of their time and, frankly, ahead of the league," said Bob Bowman, CEO of MLB Advanced Media, the leagues interactive branch. The lack of a video scoreboard is a glaring reminder that the Cubs have some catching up to do. That is even more obvious this year thanks to a new instant replay system that allows teams to challenge umpires calls. "With this replay for our fans, 75 million of them at the games, get to see what everyone sees at home," Bowman said. Except at Wrigley, where fans have to wait until they get home or watch the television monitors while theyre in line to buy a hot dog or beer. "How ridiculous is that?" asked Marc Ganis, a sports consultant with SportsCorp Ltd. in Chicago, who once advised the Cubs prior owner, the Tribune Co. "The only time you see it is when youre not in your seat." The lack of a video board is only the most visible example of some of the differences between Wrigley and other parks. Rather than ordering food and drink on a handheld device and having it delivered right to their seats, fans at Wrigley get things the old-fashioned way: By yelling at vendors roaming the aisles or making a trip to the concession stands. Adam Vinatieri Jersey. The Cubs cant do it any other way because Wrigley Field is so small that food must be prepared offsite. A proposed $300 million renovation project includes construction of commissary, though team spokesman Julian Green said a final decision hasnt been made. The Cubs are also examining whether to join the roughly 20 teams that have customized Major League Baseballs At the Ballpark app to give fans access to information about ballparks as they enter, from seat location to specials on merchandise. One thing the Cubs say they wont be doing any time soon is allowing fans to upgrade their seats via their handheld devices. "There are a lot of great innovations happening at new ball parks but Wrigley has magic (and) we need to be careful that we dont implement technology that takes away from the experience of Wrigley, the experience of what it has been like for sons going to games with their fathers, and their fathers fathers," said Andrew McIntyre, the Cubs senior director of information technology. Many fans do worry that the Cubs embrace of technology could change the atmosphere at the friendly confines for the worse. They want to see the park as they imagine past generations saw it. "Any modernization, you risk losing what made it special," said Todd Jezierski, a 32-year-old Oregon resident. He said when a friend heard he was coming to Wrigley, he excitedly told him he just had to visit the restrooms and see the ancient urinal troughs. Charlie Tausche, a 75-year-old retired attorney, has less of a problem with a massive video board than with the technology-toting young people who will flock the Wrigley in greater numbers once school lets out. "They stand up in front of you in the middle of the game and take their selfies," he complained. The oldest stadium in the majors, Bostons Fenway Park, is awash in video boards and still remains one of the jewels of baseball at 102 years old. And -- this is a big one for long-suffering Cubs fans -- it has fielded three World Series winners in the last decade. Robert Garcia, a 38-year-old Chicago teacher who came to a recent game decked out in a Cubs hat, jacket and clutching a scorecard and pencil he just bought, said the essence of Wrigley will remain with new technology. "When you come in and look down you still see the ivy, you still see the bleachers," he said. Even Darryl Wilson, who has been working the manual scoreboard for 23 years, has no objection to all the new technology, including a new video scoreboard. "I hope they dont think I can keep up with that scoreboard," he said.
