Knock out games 3pm and 7pm. Presumably EFL fixtures will be scheduled to avoid a clash with England's group games at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomski Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Interesting that L1 and L2 are going early as well. Could well be a few postponements I guess especially if Scotland and Wales get in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like change, summer tournaments are one of life's joys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted November 15, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted November 15, 2021 The days of me booking holidays around football are gone but that’s an early start. This World Cup will be shit I reckon. Race to get home first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One for the vloggers and the rich this. We'll see how quickly people forget the carnage that's gone on in preparing the venues when they get offered tickets there! Christmas shopping then watch world cup in a piss wet through steamed up pub? No ta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Spider Posted November 15, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted November 15, 2021 It’ll be shit, the atmospheres will be complete toss and there’s nowt surer than a handful of England fans being jailed and having to beg Priti Patel to get them home. Too many teams, plop time of year, and being held somewhere that simply doesn’t deserve it. Anyone watching Qatar vs Algeria in the dead of night is welcome to it.

Johnnyrotten Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 There will probably be a stand out England win at some point, 3-0 v Poland in the last 16 etc, but it will hardly register for us be because 2 hours before or 2 hours after we lost 1-0 at Burton. A week later England lose 2-1 AET to Germany in the semi, and we're all buzzing after a late winner v Shrewsbury. Its just not right.

Nottm_Wanderer Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Does anyone really care about the world cup ? I will always prefer club football to International football. I may not even watch it because of where it is. I could go on but why have a world cup, everyone knows Brasil are the best team , they encompass the beautiful game , regardless of who wins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was so disappointed that in 2014 when we finally got chance to see a WC hosted in Brazil that they were in such disarray. David Luiz and Thiago Silva losing their minds under the pressure and everyone acting like Neymar had perished when he got injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite me being very dubious about this one in terms of when and where it is, I’d still say yes. It holds so much history and tradition. Generations of football fans can recall past winners, past tournaments, iconic moments and the best players in the world plying their trade in unique locations. And the fact that England perhaps have their best chance of winning the tournament after getting to a major final, should surely get us a little excited. I know my kids will be well up for it, so I’ll know doubt go along for the ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
