Will we see football again this year in Europe?

European soccer leagues are dipping their toes in preparation for potential returns in June. Sweden are already playing preseason friendlies and ready to start their season whilst Italy have started pulling Seria A Players back to train in Italy. Germany are also ready to go but 10 players have already contracted coronavirus in preseason training in their top two leagues. Those cases will increase but the Bundeselague is still go as of this week. The Belarus league has been raging for 7 weeks during the lock-downs without a care in the world. Some teams in the Premier League, Europe's richest, are not playing ball, especially the ones near the bottom. They will only agree to play behind closed doors at neutral grounds to complete the league if there is no relegation, somewhat ironically quoting the integrity of the game is threatened if they cant play their home games to try and stay up. The Premier League players have been acting appallingly during the locks-down, refusing pay-cuts to hep their clubs ( the average wage in the league being 14 grand per week) so to help pay non playing staff, instead setting up an NHS fund to distract from their antics, 5 million donated in the first week, not much in the last month. We also learned that 130 Premier League players in the last few years are using accountants to avoid paying tax that would help the NHS. I just cant see this lot agreeing to return to the pitch until neat season, whenever that will be.
