Premier League Play One Extra?

The Premier League have announced that they are planning one extra game to be played in the Premier League, these matches could be played in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Melbourne, Miami and Bangkok. This is a really ridicoulas idea, i couldnt believe it when i first heard the idea, plus i dont no how it will work, who will play who?

Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore said: "The 'international round' is an exciting and innovative proposal that needs careful consideration before being introduced.
"However, this concept recognises the truly global appeal of the Barclays Premier League whilst understanding that the traditions of the English game have always underpinned our success.
"We believe that an 'international round' of matches will enhance the strength of the Barclays Premier League as a competition; create extra interest in all 20 Premier League clubs at home and abroad; and allow increased investment in talent development and acquisition, facilities as well as our football development and community programmes."
Scudamore added: "The globalisation of sport is both an opportunity and a challenge; one that needs addressing in a responsible way.
"We are a better competition for being a cosmopolitan league and have benefited from our increased international reach.
"Nonetheless, it is critical we retain our English character by improving our efforts to produce home-grown talent, deepening our commitment to community engagement and continuing our investment in the grass-roots."
