Thing is, I think FIFA know it’s a mistake holding it there but the money was too good to turn down for them. Really sad when you think about it.

I’m not even arsed that England missed out or it’s not somewhere closer to home; I’ve no issue with it being held around the world but the whole point of a World Cup is generate a legacy and drive the game forward, it’ll do either in Qatar. We’ve even got FIFA basically telling people to ‘focus on the football’ meaning they clearly know teams and people aren’t happy.

Sadly, like anything though, people will still attend, it will still be watched, pubs will be full and the bandwagon will be rolling.

As I said though, whoever wins will probably feel it’s a tainted World Cup. I want England to win every tournament, even this one bel but it would leave a sour taste in the mouth.

If I watch any games itll be through iptv so they won't have my 'viewing' counted I assume. But like many others have said I'm not overly fused about it anyway.

Anyone who fancies a bit of extra interest in The World Cup, don't forget the sweep I am running. Still plenty of places left.

I'm sure that just yesterday I heard or read that a group of 50 England fans were having expenses paid to report positively on games and leave only positive comments.

I posted some Pirlo pörn on the Glennon thread but there aren’t many commentary moments that don’t involve John Tondeur or Town which are capable of sending a shiver down the spine; this however…[url]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MbGUeu6cv2M[/url]


Pirlo. Pirlo. Pirlo. Ancora Pirlo.
Gooollllll.  Gooollllllll. Goollllll.  Grosso. Grosso.  Gooollll. Gol di Grosso. Gol di Grosso. Gol di Grosso.

Then Cannavaro strides forward as if possessed by Shaun Pearson. Totti (Nolan). Gilardino (Hoban). And Alex del Piero is left to bend home the second for the ultimate ‘falls to Arnold’ moment.


The World Cup has given me and many others so much joy and incredible memories over the years and the corrupt bastärds at FIFA and beyond are determined to destroy that.

Everyone saying they're not bothered but if England get on a run everyone will be singing Jerusalem and painting their faces like usual.

Not been bothered about England personally since that wet night at Wembley when Steve McLaren got his brolly out but you're probably right, people will still be straight down the ASDA to buy flag parafanalia and saying 'it's coming home' ad infinitum.
