Kimbo Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I think Italy would be too embarrassed to take part. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 I quite like the idea tbh. Could be quite a decent little tournament with some of the teams that didn't qualify.  I don't mind the idea, but it would basically be the Europa League version of the World Cup. Can't see how motivated the participating teams would be, which would be a downer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing us, they’d probably fuck even that up and still field the likes of Howard and Beasley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ndegwa Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I quite like the idea tbh. Could be quite a decent little tournament with some of the teams that didn't qualify.  My knee jerk reaction was to dismiss it...then you look at the quality of the teams that could be involved and it would be pretty fun. As long as they don't act like cunts and stage it during the WC itself Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Gasping to suckle to the bent football association tit of whoever and make real American money. First Conmebol, second these cunts, third FIFA so they can host 2026. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A straight up knockout competition with unseeded draws either just before or just after would be mint though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Best: Poland, England, Iran, Australia. Worst: Brazil, England, Denmark, Nigeria  I'd take that group - the Australian media is talking like we're going to make it out of the groups for the first time 2006, but it's going to take a soft group like Poland, England and Iran for that to happen (we can't be grouped with Iran, however). Other nice options include Peru/Uruguay and Senegal/Egypt. Having said that, considering we don't know who our coach is going to be, and how well that coach will be able to select a team and make it perform to potential, we're just as likely to go out with three losses like Brazil  Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I quite like the idea tbh. Could be quite a decent little tournament with some of the teams that didn't qualify.  Could see some sort of mini group with USA, Italy & Ireland going down well in New York.

Kanj Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I think it's small time as fuck for the US Soccer Marketing arm to come up with this idea when the real task at hand is to do a wide scale review of everything that's wrong and actually start working on fixing it. But nah, let's host a tourney and make some money. I'm sure all of these nations with top players are going to want to risk injury and fatique at a summer loser tourney.

Disco Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 :lol: good luck with that. You can suck the Fifa tit in 2026. Can't imagine why that terrorist loving, liberal anti patriot Gary 'traitor' Lineker is front and centre of the story mind. Mustn't have any other photos available.
