A_A wehatethehibs Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Remove the World Cup immediately from Quatar and bring it home to the home nations. The founding fathers of international football England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. No construction or investment work required. Quarter finals at Hampden, Millenium, Aviva, Old Trafford, semis at millenium + Wembley final at Wembley Games at the new spurs ground, new Anfield, St James Park, Murrayfield etc No construction or infrastructure required Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballitojambo Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Hopefully this means the competition is moved, the disconnect between the people running football and those who support it is just unbelievable, they have always been corrupt and just got more and more brazen, to give the world cup to a country with absolutely no footballing history ,a terrible climate for sports generally and not to mention laws that should we say do not favour festive fun, was just a massive middle figure to the football community, be interesting to see what happens from here.

Pants Shaton Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Who would have thought awarding the World Cup to an oil-rich state, where it’s too hot to play football in the summer, with a population of 2.6m (90% of whom are migrant labourers) was the result of corruption? I hope they have the best prosecutorial minds the world has to offer working on this case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glynnlondon Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Wouldn't be surprised if it still goes ahead. Quataris know where the bodies are buried and some very large vested interests will no doubt be desperate to keep them sweet. Modern fitba eh.

Phil Dunphy Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Football is merely a vessel for the ultra rich to become even richer. Thankfully Scotland has remained very close to it’s working class roots, while the likes of Spain, Italy and England are quite content to drop their pants for a bit of added silver from more ‘lucrative’ markets.

JackLadd Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 They won the bid by bribing the panel (or over half). I cannot see how it goes ahead with that stink on it, aside form the other issues that make Qatar completely unsuitable to host a tournament.
