Remember the 39th game? Well, it could be coming to a football league near you, should Uefa allow a regular-season Liga game to be played in Miami, and a Serie A match to be played in Perth – that’s Western Australia not Caledonia.
There are no illusions that, even if permission is granted only for these individual cases, this genie can be squeezed back into the bottle. Nobody could consider that realistic having heard the Serie A president, Ezio Simonelli, say last month that he would have liked to play the league’s entire first round on foreign soil.
Below the line comments are open, so why not let us know what your plans are for today?
Ahead of Arsenal v London City, Suzanne Wrack, our lead women’s football writer, will join us for a Q&A on all matters WSL and beyond.

Last night’s action for starters? Big, statement win for Chelsea.
Preamble
Good morning, Guardian Football. It’s international weekend, but that doesn’t stop our live coverage of your football weekend. The World Cup is fewer than 300 days away – 278 to be precise – and there’s actually a lot to be decided. The key fixture here is England v Andorra at Villa Park, what with Coldplay at Wembley. They never meant to cause trouble, they never meant to cause harm and instead Thomas Tuchel’s barmy army will play in Birmingham.
Join us we build up to that, the WSL, where it’s a London derby between Arsenal and big-spending London City. Just join us.
