Boston WC might finally get me to visit that treasonous hellhole

Could def be open to a Montreal visit like. Let's plan it right now.

Don't think that's going to happen. Read something earlier that it's still to be agreed if they need to qualify or not. Might be able to use up the 2.5 places or something. Gonna be laughs when we don’t qualify for the fucker

Well that sounds shit. Thank fuck we'll all be dead by then IMO.

It absolutely means North America shouldn't get to host it on equal footing. They've decided that the whole fucking continent is going to host this 2026 WC. So what happens when it comes back round to NA? The whole continent again? Why don't we just do away with the decision making process and just rotate continents. Games can just be spread about wherever. First game in England, 2nd game in Serbia, third game in Iceland. Why the fuck not eh. Who needs atmosphere anyway.

u shud make the rest like that

I mean, if the WC final was on the west coast, it would inevitably be at about 1pm local time, 3pm east coast, 8pm UK time, 9pm central european. It'd be ideal. Fuck asia.

also: https://fantasy.fifa.com/en/home I know it's a piece of piss to find, but people are lazy sacks of shit

dun

Didn't realise that they'd already made some announcements with regards to the bid. Saying that the final would be at the met life, and the semis in ATL and DFW. Met Life is so bleh. In bumblefuck New Jersey with nothing around it. Such a flaccid WC final venue.

Aye it's just a bunch of disparate games. They could host a World Cup on one of the coasts of the US with little fuss and it would create a much better atmosphere iyam.

dont destroy my dreams

Going to be laughs if Concacaf gets their 6 slots in addition to US/Mex/Can being automatic entrants. You'd be looking at Costa Rica, Panama, Honduras, Trinidad & Tobago, Guatemala and... Haiti? Jamaica?

The first two I’ll grant you, the time zone whine is precious, and the last is nonsense. By all accounts the ‘94 tournament was wildly successful and the game’s only grown since then. This will easily be the most attended and lucrative tournament yet. And you’re discounting Canada as a first-time host and Mexico, a country with an unquestionable footballing culture. All of it's a whine but it doesn't really make it any less relevant as a post on the football section of a Newcastle forum like. You can say what you want about how successful '94 was etc, but the context of that popularity is still that there are far more fitting countries, with vastly more prominent football cultures and infrastructures than the U.S and Mexico, especially considering they've had it in '86 and '94. It's pretty ridiculous that England hasn't had it since 1966 considering it invented the sport, like. The likes of Spain and Italy have got just as much to complain about too considering their own history, culture, infrastructures, and the last time they hosted the World Cup. It's a joke yet again tbh, South Africa, Russia, Qatar, and the U.S/Mexico/Canada make up 4 of the last 5 hosts and out of those Russia is probably the least undeserving. North America having the tournament 3 times in 40 years seems fine to me. Europe has had the tournament three times in the past 20, including two bordering countries hosting within an 8 year period. You will really have to explain to me what makes the Western European high-income countries that already have world class football every week more deserving than any other part of the world. With the exception of Qatar (which is nonsensical on many levels) and Canada, all the countries you listed have large football loving populations and the infrastructure/the willingness to build the infrastructure necessary for a World Cup, which is what should matter. I am confident in saying that Mexico and the USA both have more total football fans than any European country. Regional parity is paramount now that we are in an era where six continents can feasibly host the competition, imo. / Sure. All of North America probably does have more fans than a single European country. Completely irrelevant, but accurate? Aye, probably.

no wonder we got relegated, if you'd bought one 3 years ago we'd probably have neymar upfront

RAFA WILL BE FORCED OUT IF YOU DON'T RENEW, IAN W.

We're top of the table PL team man. Get with the times. Rafa will get every penny of that profit!! We'll sign someone mint. RENEW

Seems very foolish for Leeds to be paying the kind of money that Bielsa would want. If this goes wrong I reckon they're in severe danger of doing a Leeds.

The first two I’ll grant you, the time zone whine is precious, and the last is nonsense. By all accounts the ‘94 tournament was wildly successful and the game’s only grown since then. This will easily be the most attended and lucrative tournament yet. And you’re discounting Canada as a first-time host and Mexico, a country with an unquestionable footballing culture. Whether it's grown or not, people don't give a fuck about the game over here. Even those who do care, tend to be very intermittent watchers. It's boring. Sure they'll all jump on the bandwagon and fill the stadiums in 2026, but it's not part of your culture and it never will be. I'm generally fine with the WC going to countries that aren't rabid football fans, but twice in 32 years is excessive. Happy for all of the games to be in Mexico tbh. / At least I get to go to some games?

Yeah stick it to those people who live and breathe the sport and just want to see it hosted in their home country before they die. Be much better in a country where only weird emo types like the sport just to be alt af.

aye it's one of the worst takes I've seen this century tbh

lazy self centered cunts all of them

Gylfi's odds range massively by the looks of it. 400/1 looks like the best. 66/1 worst. 400/1 isn't the worst punt I've ever seen like. I assume he takes pens/FKs for them? Their group isn't great either.

you can get 400/1 odds on him being top scorer best you can get on ruben loftus cheek is 250/1
