Disco Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 We’ll be robbed of football that summer unfortunately. But you’d think the quality will be higher with players mid-season. How hot is it in Qatar during December? was thinking the temperature might make the football a bit shit like in South Africa but i have no idea what their weather is like in December. I assume it’s still pretty miserable Nee worry Mole, they’re gonna cool that shit down with fake clouds or whatever 15-25 degrees. No humidity. Pretty much perfect.

Bizza Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 8 years until the next proper World Cup Fucking ridiculous, they bid for a summer tournament. Once it became clear they couldn't fulfill that requirement it should've been moved elsewhere. Money talks though I guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Don't really get how the European leagues will run, unless they continue regardless. The international squads get together the month before it starts so oct-jan is what players are likely missing. Aug-oct then a 3 month break and resume? Jan- August? What about the following season. On the upside either way we will be alright! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteV Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Wonder if they stop the Championship as well? You would think they’ll have to given they stop it for international breaks now. Good luck fitting 46 games in... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Fucking disgusts me that this is going to happen, there couldn’t be a more blatant case of corruption, it’s clear to everyone they didn’t even consider the bids or the countries during selection. I’d love a boycoutt tbh, or the European leagues forcing them to do it in summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 The tournament itself will be fine. People always say world cups are going to be disasters and they generally aren't. The toughest thing will be deciding when leagues stop and resume. Countries need a few weeks to prepare beforehand and a few weeks to rest afterwards. Imagine how grim it would be winning the World Cup and then going back to playing Bournemouth or Levante away the following week Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 We’ll be robbed of football that summer unfortunately. But you’d think the quality will be higher with players mid-season. How hot is it in Qatar during December? was thinking the temperature might make the football a bit shit like in South Africa but i have no idea what their weather is like in December. The football in South Africa had nothing to do with the temperature. SA is fairly south anyway and the tournament was during the coldest season. Russia and Brazil were significantly warmer. I still believe the Qatar World Cup will be a fantastic event. Supporters for every team in a very small area (easy for travel) in a country that will spare no expense (financial or other) to make the tournament great and expand their profile. The enjoyment will of course be tainted with the stench of corruption and the blood of slaves, but I have learned to accept this with FIFA and life in general. In 3.5 years when this starts, everyone will be watching and enjoying, just as they were for this disgraceful tournament in Russia everyone was telling me about only two months ago.

Why rule out every single country with this climate? Not every country has hospitable conditions during the same time as Europe or has leagues with the same schedule. Changing the date is just common sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changing the date is just common sense. True although one route in to the country via one airport is going to be a logistical nightmare regardless of how big said airport is. Hotels will likely be insane too. Best tournaments, for me, are ones where all countries have as large a following as possible. At least 2026 will cater for this.

CaliMag Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 The fact that the stadiums were built by slave labour and thousands of their lives... no football culture... corrupt AF purchase... more money for FIFA... and we have this change in time which they said they wouldn't need. Honestly the time change is the least of the problems with it. FIFA is evil and this WC in particular is. Its all just too much. Ideally we would send everyone in FIFA to prison and give the 2022 WC to Australia or Morocco. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Brazil and other South American countries have managed with having to stop their league for the World Cup for decades, just get on with it. Thats not the full picture though. For the most part the players in the South Americans countries at the world cup tend to play in Europe, in fact most players at the World Cup finals tend to play their football at European clubs.
