I’ve noticed there has been a lot of players injured or doubtful for the WC some big names too. Part of me thinks some maybe aren’t bothered by the WC but I don’t think I’ve seen/read so many players injured before.

I wonder how many are doubtful compared to previous WC.

I’m genuinely in two minds as to whether I want to watch any of it, and I say that as someone who normally loves the World Cup.

I imagine there are plenty of players in two minds about it as well. Not many chances to play at the World Cup in even the longest and greatest careers, but it must be galling for those travelling that it is being hosted in such a retched country.

I’m in a similar boat Poojah not really fussed it’ll end up being a poor man’s WC I’ve noticed the Saudis are trying to buy sport like Golf etc i think Barcelona play a tour over there as they have alot of money.

I'm normally buzzing for the World Cup, but this has crept up on me without notice. Didn't even realise it was only a couple of weeks away until I just looked at the schedule.

It feels like the wrong tournament at the wrong time in the wrong country. They should never have been given it.

I think a lot of people think the same Ginny this is purely about money I mean I get what FIFA are trying to do by giving countries or country a chance to host the WC but they should be giving to countries that do participate that haven’t had it for years.

All I see from the Saudi’s is them trying to buy various sports like Golf they tempted players to leave the PGA tour to play for obscene amounts of money and not all have signed up to it. No idea how many other sports they pay for.

Whilst I haven't been fussed if England win or lose for at least ten years now I always greatly look forward to the World Cup, but as has already been said I'm struggling to rouse any sort of excitement for this one. Simply the wrong location and time of year to hold it.

As for missing players, might be they can't be arsed with it but I think it's more due to it being slap bang in the middle of the season and injuries.

Usually there’s loads of World Cup adverts on but I’ve hardly seen any this year. I wonder if the brands are distancing themselves from it?

Have to agree - for the first time since 1966 I have little tnterest. Too many meaningless tournaments - I am overdosed on international stuff.
