I believe Mexico will co-host the 2026 world cup. This is a country where a number of journalists have been murdered while investigating the activities of corrupt politicians but I haven't heard a peep about the competition being held there for the third time.Yep that sanctimonious prick Northcroft wrote a hand wringing article in the Sunday Times this week about how conflicted he felt as a long term admirer of “Newcastle’s passionate fans” by the evil Saudi regimes takeover. He went on to say that he was equally opposed to Qatar’s human rights record and although he would be going there to report on the World Cup he would stop short of praising the Qataris in any way.
So in other words just like any other privileged virtue signalling **** he’s prepared to object vociferously to something and tell everyone else what to think and how to behave right up until the very point at which it wlll affect him and then his objections wash away. No chance of Jonathan risking his seat on the journalists’ gravy train by telling his employers he’s not prepared to report on the World Cup on moral grounds. Like you say all these journos were happy to go to Russia and they’ll all be happy to go to Qatar.
Let them keep over hyping their players to the point they can never reach expectations I say.. our lads will just keep on working hard with their heads down - done alright so far for PhilOr an emerging young English talent playing for his boyhood team came on and scored after recently starring for England U21's. If Palmer played for united he would be hyped up incredibly by the media....wouldnt be surprised if we start seeing articles about him needing to go on loan....forgetting Phil's route into the team.
He could have put that in with that huge apple in his throat.Neck muscles

And of course the Guardian’s ‘grinning beards’ dogwhistler/WhatsApp group member and ‘sportswashing’ obsessive Barney Ronay wrote an embarrassing book all-but rimming Putin, and reams of Russian apologia and outright propaganda in his world cup coverage. Bought and paid for.
