The Euro's won't go ahead 2020 and will be played next season so that the domestic leagues can be completed instead.
What are we going to do with no football?
And nobody say "enjoy ourselves"!

It would be funny if the season was void, but the legal ramifications would be too high.
On the bright side this will be our longest unbeaten run for quite a while so I will take it.
Has any precedent been set in other countries regarding the cancellation of a season? Do we start this one over? Make the rest of the results 0-0 and finish where we all fall?
Both feel unfair for multiple reasons.
Another problem with voiding the current season and basing promotion/relegation and Europe off 18/19 standings is stuff like CL money. Spurs for example would benefit greatly from effectively doubling their CL revenue. Not really fair.
But the lack of goals from open play will be a real worryWe would welcome the cleansheets
I don't fair and not fair.There's no completely fair scenario here though. The most fair one is to null and void the season. Given that the CL competition is also likely to get null and voided then it makes sense too.
Basically they are all bad scenarios for people, but null and voiding everything is the most fair of an unfair set of options IMO.

I think in a league, you have a ranking at any given time. So there is a 1st, a 2nd, a 3rd etc. So that can end early.
In a cup with several rounds left, there is no such ranking. There is just a bunch of teams which all have made to a given round, but no shot at distinguishing further. So that could be reset and played again from the start (group stage). I don't really know if "fair" is the most important consideration under such circumstances.

The A-League has 10 teams and after a regular season the top 6 have a playoff.Has to be playoffs; it'll be ace!! We'll have all our big hitters back and can play off for places 6-10!!
But this would only work if leagues and teams across Europe followed the same pattern.
We get the two best players to duke it out on FIFA or whatever it's called but they must constantly pause the game and post what's happening in the match thread. Then, based on that, we can all moan about our preferred scapes or air our favourite gripe regardless of what actually happens.What are we going to do with no football?
