Winter world cup

[Churchlawtonblue]

Dawned on me today that we should be enjoying the world Cup at the moment. Sadly we have to wait for the cold and dark Dec nights. One boring summer ahead. Can't wait for the new premier league season to start and to see the new City line up lead by Haaland.

Suits me down to the ground, I can get in the pubs in summer and wont be abused by 1 pint wankers :-)

I remember back in the day when it was argued to have a break before international games.... and the argument went "ohhh you will hardly notice, during a season and it will help the national team"
I wonder if we went back to that call the league would make the same choices...

Just gives me a mid-season break from football. I can focus on other stuff. I don't give a shit about international matches. It's all bent anyway, more this time than ever.

Qatar World Cup will be shit.

No doubts about that . Found a great article about the streaming of it here - https://www.firesticktricks.com/watch-fifa-world-cup-on-firestick.html. Curious what platform do prefer the members of this forum? Do you find FuboTV costs fear or do you consider it too pricey?

It's a summer World Cup not a winter tournament.
Well it is if you look at the original documents specifying the requirements for the hosts to consider when bidding.

The last World Cup was utter dog shite. Hopefully Qatar won't be as bad.

Is your opinion influenced feeling towards international football not being as appealing these days? I can only just remember France 98 as I was 6 years old, so I can’t comment on some of the earlier world cups. What makes the World Cup is the teams that go under the radar, Colombia 2014 who were great to watch and I always enjoy watching Japan and Korea as they don’t stop running.
