Starting next season all EPL clubs will have to name 25 players over 21 before the season begins as their registered players list. Eight of those players must have been developed for at least three years by an English or Welsh club before their 21st birthday. The clubs can also have a limitless list of [.

One week after a much acclaimed Champions' League final in Rome, FIFA's Congress passed a new resolution removing age limits on a player's ability to change national teams. While the vote received little fanfare as more attention seems to be affixed on whether Kaka will play for AC Milan, Real Madrid or Chelsea, the potential repercussions on international football are enormous.

The fine folks of Budweiser are sponsoring watch parties for all three of next week's USA Confederations Cup matches at the 810 Zones. The USA has a pair of matches at 1:30 p.m. CT with watch parties held at BOTH 810 Zone locations.

Premier League clubs have agreed, in principle, to support a quota system for home-grown players.

Proposals for developing domestic talent will be discussed further by clubs next month and a new system could be introduced for the 2010/11 season.

The most likely outcome is that the Premier League will adopt the rules the Football League will use next season.
