England World Cup bid

[Imy]

SA was a **** world cup though

[Alex]

How would you know that?

Same question marks were put over SA but they still made it a success.

South Africa is a huge footballing nation though. Apparently they have the most professional registered clubs in the world. There is something there to work with. Qatar on the other hand is a joke. Are you honestly saying that the other bids were worse than Qatar. Australia sort of deserved this.

The moon has a better structure and pitch than Russia though.

So do some local parks, the team i run i get the defenders to hide in the dip before they jump out and get the ball of the forwards

The football was dire but the organisation of it was a success from what I've read.

Possibly.

My main gripe with weak footballing nations hosting world cups, is the automatic seeding they therefore get, which means that, in terms of quality, you got utterly lop-sided groups.

You'll have 1 group (with the hosts in it) comprising of 3 ****e teams and one mediocre one. And then another group with like, Brazil, Holland, Italy and Belgium in it

Hope no gays want to go to the Qatar World Cup!

[Fernandinho]

****ing joke for England and Aus. Qatar??? Russia??? Two of the worst climates in the world

The majority of the population is working males, whats the point of building the footballing culture of a nation with barely any young, its ridiculous.

And Russia, don't even get me started!

Who wants to travel to either of these nations???

Russia is a far better choice. A world cup on the moon just wouldn't have the atmosphere.




I'm here all week. Try the sausage.

No they dont deserve a chance to try and show us what they can do, neither do Lichenstein (they have lots of money too). Basket case countries with no footballing heritage and outside the top 40 in the world should be barred from hosting. The USA was bad enough and they have it all infrastrcture wise, so much for the "global football family".

And as said the football and atmosphere were ****.

I forgot the hosts get one of the top seed spots don't they, Ok Russia aren't great but they're decent. Qatar as a top seed

Me! I'd absolutely love to go to Russia. Not as an England supporter mind. Its fascinating.

[Neil Young]

Bravo.

Thanks!

Just hope the teams in Russia remember not to drink the yellow glowing tea.

They'll be playing in air-con stadiums, stop being a drama queen

As for the fans and no alcohol - i dont know what the fuss is about, england probably wont even qualify for it...

Absolutely. Most stadiums will be indoor with air-con so it will feel like 20 degrees not 40.
