This is a "O for the old days" thread.
Sorry for throwing my 'oldie wet blanket' over the thread, but I don't think that was the idea of the OP at all. Just a very interesting question - 'Where do you see football 25 years from now?'This is a "O for the old days" thread.
Well obviously players are getting too expensive and the answer is already there in the embryonic stage...

Please post how you envisage football 25 years on -- I know I could do with a positive vision of the future.
I suspect it is more likely to be 16 sides in Europe. There are only four clubs in England capable of competing for the title without relying on a sugar daddy - and Chelsea in there for that reason only. The same situation is developing in other influential European leagues.25 years ago was probably about the lowest point for my interest in football. Partly an age thing - you know the stuff: mortgage, job, family - all at their most intense. But then it all came rushing back, a second childhood really.
25 years on. I think we'll see robot players and we'll get to the match by personal flying machines. The viewing visors we'll have fitted in our baseball caps will show instant action replays of the best bits. Games will last for 6 halves for advertising break reasons (the periods will still be referred to as halves though as a matter of cultural respect). All referees will wear goggles and assistant refs will be genetically reengineered to have laser alignment systems and 4 eyes.
Or not.
More likely it will be commercialised into a high end product with maybe 16 professional teams in the UK and TV will have been overrun by internet streaming.
