I'd just been replying the same.

United and Liverpool are pretty much locked in. Not sure Liverpool can drop out even if they crash out of the Europa without a win, and United are unlikely to drop out of the top 12 teams in Europe. Curiously, United got their best points recently for failing in the CL, but then reaching the final of the EL!

Of course. Hasn`t this been the reason for the sleight of hand regarding the entry criteria. It was created to protect the chosen few. Its a fucking disgrace.

It's another opportunity to win a trophy. In South America this is seen as arguably the biggest cup in club football, so there are players in our squad who'll be desperate to win it.

Someone else replied to this post, and turns out I was wrong. United and Liverpool can't get in, unless they win next year's CL, otherwise there's a limit of 2 teams per association.
 
Looks like the draw will be the end of November which will determine the opponents and venues, so it is impossible to plan and a complete write off.

In Japan the two semi venues were almost 300 miles apart, and in Morocco 150 miles. The two biggest stadia in RSA our about 600 miles apart, which would be a disaster, and so would the 3rd place play-off.
 
How much is a beer in Saudi?
You just have to buy the ingredients. A pal of mine worked in Saudi a few years back.

His first port of call was a supermarket where he purchased some of the Saudi near beer, grape juice, sugar, yeast and other ingredients plus a couple of Demijohn flasks, filter funnels, buckets, plastic tube and other gadgets. He was equipping himself to produce beer and wine on a significant scale.

He was just at the checkout when the call the prayer signal came up. The checkout closed temporarily for the call to prayer.

He was stuck by the till for around 20 minutes. Every westerner looking at the contents of his trolly was obviously thinking ‘I know what you are doing!’

i think that only 1 of them will be in, none of them would of been in if we lost but we would of been in

I'd do Dubai or Abu Dhabi for a week before christmas and then fly in/out for our games. But that would cost an absolute bomb. Don't think there will be too many concerned if supporters clubs get first dibs on these tickets.

From the wiki page, and this is mentioned in the FIFA page it links to:

"A restriction of two clubs per association will be applied, with an exception for champion clubs if more than two clubs from the same association win their confederation's top club competition."

So, unless the rules change (which is possible), or United win it next year (which is laughable), it looks like it's Chelsea and City only. Also looks like Ajax are guaranteed a spot, and then a team much lower down the rankings, with Rangers a possibility.

The best part is that with 14 European clubs, there will be a lot of big names, so it will be embarrassing for United and Liverpool not to be there.
