I cannot for the life of me understand why major tournaments have to be spread over different countries, it's madness.
I also cannot fathom out why we get left out when it comes to the world cup other than money and an anti England feeling within the powers that be.
USA for example will have now hosted 3 different world cups while they very genously given us one.
I was too young to go to any in 1966, and will be dead by the time we ever get another one.
Thank you FIFA,  you greedy illegitimates.

Quoted from diehardmariner
With only two guaranteed host slots, it would almost be funny if there was only 2 of the hosting nations represented.

Casement Park as the Northern Irish venue could be, ahem, interesting if it doesn't get redeveloped in time.  Suppose there's more than enough adequate stadiums in the UK to step in should it be needed.


It’s a very strange one this. Casement Park is actually a GAA stadium in and football is usually not permitted to be played at GAA stadiums. In fact, I think that Ulster GAA have had to revoke rule 42 allowing the the ground to be given the green light to be used.

In fact. I find it shocking as planning has been denied numerous times. The only reason I can see this making any sense is if Ulster GAA receive outside funding to ‘help’ redevelop the ground. Windsor park is a more than capable stadium (although only holds circa 20000) but, not even sure if that will be filled to capacity (though depends on fixtures I guess)

There’s been condemnation locally as to why Derry City’s brandywell hasn’t been put forward but, am guessing this could be because they play under the FAI umbrella and not the Northern Ireland FA
