Daily News & Analysis of the English Premier League
It’s been a trying week for Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore. After unveiling the Game 39 proposal last week, the plan has today been rejected by the Asian Football Confederation and has received a lukewarm response from the U.S. Soccer Federation.

I fully support the AFC in not supporting the Game 39 plan and I hope CAF will also come and say no to those plans as well.

Even if they do manage to schedule a friendly against an MLS side, they won't play their top-XI if they have a League match in the same weekend. And...if the B-team manage to beat the MLS side, friendly or not, it will only re-inforce the image of inferiority that the British press seems to have of MLS.

Good observation. What I mean by number three is that the British press will most probably be present to view the first game between the MLS sides so they'll be able to view a back-to-back comparison between how two MLS sides compare against each other and how two Premier League sides compare playing against each other.
I'm not suggesting that the MLS sides play any friendlies against the Premier League sides while they're here.

This whole proposal is insulting to fans in England and the USA. Why the PL in the face of opposition from all corners continues to promote is something that needs to be discussed and why the English FA is allowing the PL to conduct itself in a completely disrespectful and improper manner is also of serious concern.

But I also talked about what the USSF has came out and said. That they won't allow the prem to play here if FIFA does not sanction round 39. Thats idiotic in my opinion, cause basically they've told the prem that they aren't necessarily welcome, and that they can plan to play elsewhere.

Also, asking two teams to fly to Sydney is a lot more difficult than flying to New York City. In an already crowded fixture list, adding one more match involving a long plane flight is stress these players don't need.
Putting an MLS game before an EPL game would only highlight the differences between the two leagues. Do we really want a direct comparison? I don't think so.
Don't get me wrong, if there is a good matchup in America, I'll probably go, especially if it's Pompey, but this fundamentally changes the competitive nature of the league.
