Right - forgetting the bent bidding process and the conditions of the migrant workers building the stadiums - does anybody else agree that a Nov/Dec competition has the potential to be ace?

 

Firstly because it will take up most of the traditional Christmas bullshit season so we'll all be talking about football and not festivities. Secondly just for the novelty factor. And thirdly because we can see whether or not our well worn excuse about our players being tired stands up to scrutiny.

But a summer world cup does exactly the same. A player plays a season, then a close-season then a season.

It's shit .

 

Sky money ruined football in this country. Corruption money will ruin the world game.

Arsenals Zac Clough will be

World Cup final

If there is anyone left standing without heatstroke.

Qatar won the bid to host a summer World Cup not one in December.

Their winters are warmer than our summers.

Where's the dodgy bid thread, there shoud be two threads, one for the ''It's going to be good'' camp and one for the ''It's going to be shit'' ones?

World Cup final

Great, get all the player back of the Christmas games

Hahahahahahaha...he thinks it's is cold in Qatar in the winter.

 

Are you on the FIFA organising committee?

I got off a plane in Qatar in December a few years back.

 

With in seconds I felt like a bucket of water had been thrown over me. Piss wet through with sweat.

 

No time of the year is a good time to be playing football out there.

 

It was a farce when it was announced & the farce continues to escalate.

The brown envelope shocker one??

 

Even google couldn't find it.

 

Did my nut in.

to be honest it will be won by the team who wants its most, regardless of where the host location.

Fair dos, I've noticed that, stuff is hard to find these days, if you could remember a memorable phrase from a thread "hiding in the boot" or "heavy cummer with poor directional control" for example, you'd be apt to find any thread using Google, no longer the case now...

 

Is is Google or is it Wanderersways? Who knows?

see that all comes across a bit 'passion'

 

some teams just wont cope with the climate

The weather is fine in winter..... And world cups in The Gulf are ace!

HW must be in for some free tickets

Dates announced, co incidental they were released before the news on Blatter broke

 

"The 22nd World Cup will be staged from November 21 to December 18 in 2022.

 

FIFA's executive committee confirmed the dates which means it will be the first ever winter World Cup."

Not convinced it will go ahead. Even if it does, not sure all countries will be there or will have weakened teams

World Cup Final a week before Chrimbo. Bonkers.

It might actually make the World Cup vaguely interesting, because the last one was bobbins.

 

I'm amazed anyone is still addled enough to think the fans are even part of the consideration.

They're always bobbins unless England get to the knockout stages. I bet the German's thought it was fucking brilliant.

so does the prem shut down?

 

what about teams in our league with 2 or 3 international players?

It's a can of worms, and that's before the slave labour, hundreds of worker deaths, corruption etc... In my opinion, the F.A should boycott it.

 

Unless we win it, then it was a brilliant decision.

Is that "our league" now or when it happens? I doubt Conference North (or whatever the fuck it is now) will have many internationals. 

Still, talked to a Yank guy who is based out there a few weeks back, and he was adamant it won't happen.
