Every premier league game will be live, all being played at different times from Friday evening to Monday evening.

Fortnite, E-Sports will be bigger than football, nba, nfl combined.

Live sports will pretty much be on the verge of death with E-sports taking the stage.

ESports would actually have caught up and overtaken actual football in popularity due to its mass appeal, and it will have rendered real-life football obsolete.
This, but I feel this will happen a decade earlier. Live sports will take a massive hit. YouTube, Twitch, some other platform will be huge media markets for the E-sports stage. Now is probably a good time to start investing in it.

And daft ones that might happen.

A current Non League club will win the Premier League in 10-15 years.

A current Premier League club will do a Rangers and be relegated to League 2

The USA will bring through several world class players which leads to “Soccer” taking off.

Historical allegations of match fixing will come out and prove to be true.

Allegations will affect Chelsea and the 2006, 2010 Premier League titles will be given to United alongside the 2007 Fa Cup.

Guardiola will be found guilty of doping all his teams and the 2009 and 2011 Champions Leagues will be given to United.

We’ll also get the 2018 Premier League as a result.

PSG will be relegated and Lyon will thrive again.

Teams will have started breading programs and have like a stable full of those Icelandic CrossFit ladies and use the likes of Pogba and Co as studs.

No local fans in the stands anymore, only Asian tourists with cameras and phones everywhere.
