Would it? There's larger portions of America where it would not be preferable to play for 90 minutes during midday in mid June. If they were to start at night, it would inconvenient for Euros, especially on the Western Coast. 1994 was a nightmare to watch in the UK due to the time differences. Fuck em then.

Guessing America would be best for kick off times for 2022 apart from that not arsed. Should probably go to the Aussies though since USA held it recently.

Don't Russia have crazy VISA laws? They do, they're about £100 n all, but they waived them for the Champions League final so they might do that again. UK - Russia relations aren't great on that front either so we get a raw deal compared to others n all IIRC.

Same here. Especially because it's a fucking friendly. Really angry at the thought of this. Nailed on to come off injured. I'll be annoyed if he gets injured obviously, but I don't think it's a reason to wish he hadn't been called up. It's just part and parcel of football. No not at all but if he is not 100% not only should he not playing as he might get injured he also won't do himself justice. Plus there is another friendly v the Argies next year where he could cause havoc again they're poor/small defence and he's only young.

Aye if its not England I'd want it to be Spain/Portugal as I think that would be the next best suited. Holland/Belgium is too small and held a tournament to recently and Russia will be a ballache for everyone going apart FIFA officials and could see it being hampered by large swathes of empty seats and no atmosphere much like RSA. Only reason I can think of Holland/Belgium being medium risk is lack of stadiums but Russia is worse on every front other than they'll be bent as fuck and given Jack Warner and his bent cronies free rein.

River v Boca on later for those who need their football fix.

he "injured"?

Wasn't particularly good for Fulham on any evidence that I saw last season. No better than Gosling I'd have thought.

Seems like England ain't going to get it at this rate http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/9196434.stm

Be shaking with rage if he gets injured. Angry just thinking about it.

Would love to see safe standing over here. Cheaper tickets, better atmospheres, larger crowds. Germans have proved its as safe as sitting if done correctly. http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/42692000/jpg/_42692677_bremen203.jpg

Nice little piece from Vickery on my foreign team of choice... http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/timvickery/2010/11/can_godoy_cruz_make_history.html

I'll be fucking furious if Carroll does end up playing and properly jiggers himself.

Lack of infrastructure. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/world_football/3937015.stm - canny old like.

We took 3x more than that on a Tues night for Carling Cup game n all. Played a hell of a lot better now Gyan is playing and they aren't just thumping it forward aimlessly. Played some decent stuff today unfortunately.

asking to be sent off here.

What were they? Disallowed Robinho goal - rightly so. Haven't been booked for 30 odd games.

clean shorts defenders.

Surely a matter of time before Inter are punished here. All over the show.

What a recovery tackle Cordoba.

Fuck'n hell I thought Materazzi had retired.

Couple of good chances either way there.

Didn't know Nacho Novo was at Sporting.

Two of their better results of the season without Bent.

He'd be there best player by a mile. India are übershite.
