2022 World Cup Discussion

[Aba452]

I haven't seen the video in question neither care about it but football in South Asia is way more popular than what might some people think here, its the second most followed sport after cricket and global tournaments get real attention

What, no hockey?! ;-)))

Those thinking of a bet on France, 4 of the last 5 reigning champions failed to even get out of the group stages next time

Enjoy this World Cup everyone the next one in USA, Canada and Mexico expands the tournament to 48 teams from 32. 16 groups of 3. Top 2 progress into a last 32 knockout. Fucking thrilling.

Well that sounds shit.

Way to go lads.

so many qualifications - so many disappointments - so many crappy songs - then 60 years plus encapsulated in the best World Cup song I have ever heard from these isles - you have to give it to the Welsh they can sing and they give it their all

Ten minutes before kick off and this - your heart would be pounding out of your chest

Vertigo Releasing is thrilled to announce the feature football documentary KICKBACK, which is available now on Amazon Prime Video. Co-directed by Clay Tweel and Maura Anderson, this incredibly timely film features unseen footage, in-depth interviews, and archival clips to present an interesting and fresh perspective on corruption within FIFA, international football’s sole governing body and the largest sports organisation in the world.

France squad has 2002 vibes about it.

Can we get a poll going.
Will you be watching the tournament?

It's happening in the middle of winter and leading up to Christmas. I doubt many people "won't be watching it". In fact I'm probably likely to see more of it than if it was in summer.

I'm just not overly bothered by the result.

Lol not true ! With all the grief about human rights there is no way the world cup will be held in another country with poor human rights. USA hasnt a chance.

I see the BBC have got plenty of reporters just talking 'fluff' over there all with their own film crews, just seen three on the bounce reporting & that's not even thinking about the likes of Stone/Roan, probably none or at most one needs to be there.

They'll be cutting local radio again anytime soon!!!!!

I will watch England’s three matches before they come home and the final.

They're all there reluctantly remember. You must mention human rights and how you don't really want to be here before you then go into talking about the football. Don't worry about the fact you didn't really do that in Brazil or Russia, who have worst human rights records. Don't worry that the Climate Change Conference just took place in Egypt which also has a worse record. Let's also not mention the Saudi's who have an awful record, because we supply them with weapons whilst Neville claims they're not the right people to own an English football club. Oh and certainly don't mention Singapore's position - Peter Lim and Gary Neville will have to get out of their shared bed then.
