Guest Tall Striker Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Anyone but Russia. Spain/Portugal = week long piss up in Spain Holland/Belgium = week long piss up in Holland England = Month long piss up around the country Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I'm more concerned about England getting 2018, but also I'd like to see Australia get 2022, America wouldn't be a bad choice either, but America has hosted one not so long ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Qatar's bid for 2022 looks dead in the water. FIFA weren't overly impressed with their idea of building temporary stadia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Their bid just doesn't make any sense. They have the population of a medium sized city, of course they can't support permanent stadiums. If a bid ever screamed "joint bid" is this one and not all the other gimmicky ones.

Liam Liam Liam O Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Is it just me who honestly doesn't care who gets it? I'm as likely to go to a game over here as I am in Zaire. Plus the fact that the usual shite about how we're going to win it will be mutiplied tenfold if it's actually held in this country. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzzieMandias Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I don't really care either. But while it's true about the likely increase of major media bullshit, it's also true that we probably do stand a better chance of doing well on home soil. And having been in London during Euro 96 and in Berlin during World Cup 2006, I can say that it is a lot of fun having a major tournament on your doorstep. Even if you don't go to matches.

Stifler Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 The fact that those of us who live in Tyne and Wear should be no more than a few miles of 2 venues if we win the bid is a great factor. Not only that but I'd rather Newcastle and Sunderland (well Newcastle twice over) gains money through tourists coming here rather than Madrid or Barcelona. It would be a massive boost to the local economy and could help create much needed jobs here. For the sake of the North East I hope England wins the big, and both SJP and the SOL are venues. I understand those of you you are on here but not from here may not be too concerned about that, but for us who live here I think we should all be botherd.

Which makes sense given this is like the 2000000000000th time in a row where the Clásico happens around this date and the law of large numbers is screaming for justice.
