Every two years wouldn't work simple reason the South Americans rest their players during the Copa were as European teams play their strongest teams in the Euros so you would either have the South Americans having an advantage or the Euros would have to do the same and play weakened teams, why should the European Championship have to suffer for the sake of a World Cup every 2 years in fact really they would have to scrap both the Copa and Euro because of World Cup qualification.

Don't understand the physical part of play as the premiership is probably the most physical in the world, so by that England are the most penalised because of the rules.
