The president of football's world governing body has told the BBC that plans by the Premier League to host games abroad will never happen.

Sepp Blatter added that the proposal could harm England's attempt to host the 2018 World Cup.

The Premier League announced last week that clubs will consider plans to extend the season to 39 games with the extra matches taking place overseas. But the idea has met with resistance in Asia, Europe and fans of the clubs.

Just heard this to but i'm not really bothed but some might be i know myy brother will be but it would have been kind of kwl to see the English football team play in asia.

I'm a huge Manchester United fan, and I think myworld is too. I would love to see them play in Australia but I don't think that it's practical for them to travel abroad for one round of EPL fixtures and then get back to their other games.

MANCHESTER UNITED for the English Premier League 2012/2013! GO RED DEVILS!

ALLEZ ROGER FEDERER!
