Surely, it'll follow the US model

Especially if a European league is formed as they'll have a blank sheet of paper, which the TV companies will be able to fill in more or less as they please.

Along with fixed regional divisions and two leagues (winner of each playing off in the "MegaCup Brought To You By Coca-Cola"), we'll have cheerleaders (in which case, Brøndby and FCK *must* be allowed to join), four quarters, wider and taller goals, TV replays and specialist teams & players for set pieces. And probably padding and a funny shaped ball. And the stadiums will be packed with fat Americans.
