Not worthy of a thread - 2018 FIFA World Cup edition


Recommended Posts

I'm boycotting that world cup anyway. Against human rights and I won't be supporting it. Fuck Qatar, terrorist funding fucks.

 

I'm going to become gay for the duration of the tournament. And drink twice as much.

 

Just to make a statement.

As ridiculous as it is, I actually think it's going to be quite fascinating to see how the leagues and broadcasters deal with it.

 

Heard one suggestion that we just carry on like when the Africa Cup of Nations is held. That would be class IMO. Massively unrealistic of course.

At least there'll be great atmosphere's in the stadiums with it being handily located near 2 (max) of the probable 32 qualifiers and fucking miles away from anyone who normally takes a half decent crowd.

No way will they allow the leagues to continue, at least not here. The Premier League are not going to allow the big clubs lose their players for a month half way through the season whisky the smaller clubs are virtually unaffected.

There'll be North Korea levels of forced fan attendance.

Still cannot for the life of me understand why Europe in particular don't just tell them that they'll abstain from this WC. It would sort it out immediately.

 

Because they're as deep in bed with FIFA and football's money men as anyone else?

I guess Uefa are, but why the individual federations aren't clubbing together and kicking up shit is beyond me.

Sponsors /broadcast partners wouldn't allow it. Would be mint though, the ultimate level playing field. Imagine Burnley or whoever going into a league match at Chelsea as bona fide favourites because Chelsea had 18 players at the world cup.
