There will not be 39 games in a Premier League season after FIFA's executive committee unanimously opposed plans to host an extra round of games all around the world.
The Premier League had unveiled the plans back in February, to widespread derision from the footballing community.
But now Sepp Blatter has confirmed that FIFA will not support the idea, which aimed to take competitive Premier League games to five different cities worldwide by 2011.
The FA have already rejected the proposal, chairman Lord Triesman suggesting the plan was "unsustainable".

I can't say I am sorry. I thought the idea was a bad one for English football. We haven't heard the last of the idea of taking more Prem football abroad though IMO and it could be that eventually the alternative will prove even worse. A European superleague maybe?
