Spain, Italy, Germany and England will all see out their leagues, Holland will reverse their decision, then France probably as well.

Leagues need to effectively go against the advice of FIFAs medical chief if they want to finish. What an utter farce

France has banned all professional sports and amateur group and contact sports until September including anything with 5000 people or over eg concerts ! They won't change it as Government protests will restart and they won't risk that ;-) Its for Leagues todecide who they award or not the title and relegate to League 2 and with 10 games to go isn't going to be easy unless PSG give Nimes and other in current relegation the cash to go down!

The Juve fans are convinced that the Italian league has finished after its been confirmed that DeLigt has been allowed to return home to Holland today........ Imagine if thats true and how the story breaks

Why shouldn't it start? apart from the obvious fact we don't want Liverpool to win.

They reckon it would need 300 people for 1 game. Most medium to large business in this country will have more staff than that.

If schools re open then there is no reason for sport behind closed doors to take place. Whether we like it or not is a diff issue. If you don't like it... don't watch it

Don't know about you but when I go to work I don't have lots of people sweating all over me, pulling and pushing me and hacking at my legs if I move away from them. If your job does involve that then I can understand why you can't see any difference.

Can't wait until the inevitable spike in cases in Liverpool if they restart the season. Seriously, the amount of people who will get together to watch them two games. It's so so stupid to even consider it.

I'm not bothered about it finishing now (not voided) because it doesn't affect me.

It still should not happen, the relegated teams will be rightfully livid.

And there is the irony:
Let’s have an inquiry into a football game that caused a rapid spread of the virus in Liverpool
and also play another game at the same ground whilst under lockdown.
The footballing authorities know that playing any game even behind closed doors will
cause people to gather and ignore social distancing.
They just don’t care.

Holland are already talking about reversing, you watch, when the French see the rest playing football, they will yield.

People seem to think football wont come back, next month most countries will open up a bit, I see no reason why they wont play football.

For the record im not saying I cant see a reason personally, I can think of several hundred, but I just think that will be the thinking behind it.

Everyone hates them ;-) They were nothing until Qatar bought them but now 5th highest selling merchandising team in World ;-( I go to rugby next door at Stade Francais ;-) Vile set of fans are PSG despite all the efforts to make them more popular but its a cash cow now for Qatar ;-( with Parisian hipster family fanbase but their nutjob fanbase kick off every home game against each other ;-( Security checks are crazy to go to match there

The Bundesliga, Germany's top football competition, is preparing to return to the pitch in less than two weeks — pending a green light from the German government.

If it does get approval, it will be the first top-flight football competition in the world to return from an enforced break due to coronavirus, and will become a test case for how other leagues approach a return to competition.

"We're like the guinea pigs at the moment," Brandon Borrello, an Australian who plays right wing for SC Freiburg, told the ABC.

"But it's a really hard situation to be in — obviously it's never happened before.

"If it works well, I mean, there should be no reason for other leagues not to follow in the future."

Germany's Bundesliga plans its return from lockdown as football world watches

The Bundesliga could be the first top-flight football competition in the world to return from an enforced break due to coronavirus, and may become a test case for how other leagues approach a return to normality.
