mrmojorisin75 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 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.

Stifler Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorJ_01 Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Considering the World Cup is, at the moment, the most watched sporting event in the world by far I'm surprised they are jeopardising it for some Qatari loonbags and a quick buck.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 Considering the World Cup is, at the moment, the most watched sporting event in the world by far I'm surprised they are jeopardising it for some Qatari loonbags and a quick buck. It will continue being the most watched event regardless if 2022 is held in Qatar or on the ISS. The only thing they are jeopardising in any way is attendance, but I am very sure this will still be very high. The World Cup is an unbreakable institution. It'll be interesting to see how well WC viewership in the U.S. holds up in competition with the NFL and college football. The matches will surely be on in the US morning, and those sports only have a full docket of games once per week. It shouldn't be an issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
