i'm liking the hologram idea mentioned further down in that link

Tom Werner's hopes of playing competitive Premier League fixtures abroad will not get off the ground ? at least not in the physical world. The man set to become Liverpool chairman was about two years out of date when he once more raised the prospect of the much-derided "Game 39", which the Premier League abandoned in the face of strong public opposition. Instead there are a number of technological advances, relating to the 30 cameras installed at each of its grounds during the last close season, that the league hopes will enhance the match-day experience for fans overseas. And with Japan's 2022 World Cup bid talking about 22 holograms playing against each other in distant stadiums, broadcast in real time from prospective Japanese World Cup venues, such technology could be the likelier route for the Premier League to take itself overseas.
