Bris Vegas Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Only going to be a matter of time before the World Cup is played in every continent, with a grand final in Saudi Arabia. richinspain and Alph 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got literally no interest in football other than Derby County. Megalomaniacs who run the sport and who run the clubs have ruined it. uttoxram75, MaltRam, Ram-Alf and 4 others 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 How does this effect footballs carbon footprint because I know football authorities love to virtue signal without ever actually doing their part to make a difference. Is it carbon neutral like the Qatar world cup was... lolz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaspode Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 2034 will be in Asia and apparently Saudi have already expressed an interest - different head of FIFA but it seems that money still talks…. In addition, they’re allowing the Russian U17 team back into competitions - guess the invasion of Ukraine must be over….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The under 17s are too young to fight, so can play international football obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anon Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) Do all 6 nations get automatic qualification? This is an extremely thinly veiled ploy to get Europe, South America, and Africa out of the bidding cycle for 2036. No prizes for guessing where that will be held and I can guarantee that tournament won't be "welcoming and uniting the world" by being spread across three continents. I used to love the world cup and couldn't have even imagined how it could be ruined to such an extent that I lost all interest. With the 48 team free for all and nonsense like this FIFA have managed it. Edited October 5, 2023 by Anon RadioactiveWaste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Seems a daft idea. It's not like a Belgium/Netherlands joint thing or Poland/Ukraine when they joint hosted the euros. Still, I'm hoping Scotland find a way to overcome their unprecedented boycott of the world cup. I know there are many ethical dilemmas for Scotland about going to the world cup (like, they keep having England in it), but, for once, it'd be nice.

littleover ram Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Anything to avoid giving it to England. will be Saudi 2034, probably then USA again in 2038 as Europe ‘hosted’ it in 2030. maybe England 2042. Hopefully we’ll be out of league one by then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm sure Suwella would be on the case.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
