    It is in late July.... if the crisis is still preventing sporting events by then then it would border on cataclysm. I guess if prelims are canceled then maybe they don't have time to select the appropriate athletes to rep the countries.

    With respect to the squad... I think it is pretty strong considering that it is outside of a FIFA Intl Window. I worry a bit about CB... but I like the squad overall.

    So with the moving of the Olympics form 2020 to 2021, Fifa has raised the age limit to 24 for the men's football tournament.

    What was an Under 23 tournament is now an Under-24 finals.

    This coupled with 3 overage players, countries could use their regular or full national team players and the games could turn into a mini World Cup.
