2022 World Cup Discussion

Sport is an afterthought now, sporting occasions are like outings for people who want to say they've been there and many don't even care about what they are watching.

Take the London Olympics, people were bidding on tickets for events they didn't even know they were bidding for, they were in effect bidding for an Olympic ticket so they could Instagram or poke it on Facebook.

I don't even believe I am being cynical when I say that this Womens Euro thing will slump back to mediocre WSL attendances because the attended wanted to go to the particular event rather than support the sport in general.

I think you are absolutely right. We're playing the Arse first game, It might have an attendance slightly up on last season's average, but overall the attendance will be made up of the usual stalwarts who were there last season!
 
Fucking disaster to interrupt in-progress leagues for the WC. This entire season is going to be messed up.

I love the World Cup and it's my favorite football event. But staging the WC in November-December - is remarkably stupid. It hurts both the WC and in progress leagues. The only way that his could have transpired is that Qatar - that bastion of human rights and of equality, deserving a world stage (sarcasm intended) - bribed a bunch of FIFA officials.

Might as well stick an asterisk - * - along side the 2022 WC winner as well as the winner of any domestic league.

England will win it and December 18th will become a national day of mourning over here as we've to listen to ye cunts for another 60 fucking years
 
September with just 3 games as well - for this total waste of space world cup...
Qatar where people died building stadiums in slave like conditions - the double standards of Linekar are mind blowing.

Migeedee wants to give us all a week off work in the run to Christmas who am I to argue? Seriously sad that age + constitution will stop us giving him a third term, he's been a great president. Shame about our parliament.

I’m not sure Linekar is responsible for people dying, building stadiums is he?

Well if there's an * beside the winner of the Prem this year then it'll mean 3 in a row for us obviously ;)
