2026 FIFA World Cup

[Rita_Poon]

I'm not sure if banned for doping violations ferdinand is a bad or brilliant choice. Gretzky retired 26 years ago, in other words a year after Zidane lifted the world cup in France. Brady is involved with the chimney dome at birmingham. Judge plays baseball, so steroided up rounders. O'Neal retired 14 years ago.

Could have got Messi involved, see if he still has that wispy cagoule they presented just him with before the recent (WC) trophy win. Where's madona? This thing could have been a right circus, of bad taste and non entities.
Moving the dial this much, making it such a show, means the next WC has to outperform it, dig michael jackson up?

This is one World Cup I’m least looking forward too…….and it’s all to do with the current administration.

 

[Nymzee]

I usually try my best to not miss a single game of a World Cup but frankly that will become impossible with how many teams are in them now.

48

There is going to be a lot of dross at this World Cup

Nothing wrong with 32 teams which was about right, 48 teams will include teams and games that shouldn’t be there.

What’s that saying ? If it isn’t broke don’t fix it but FIFA greed can’t leave well alone

Next on over 60 and played on 3 continents? A lot of it will be even more boring than the rugby world cup

Is the Don not making an appearance to satisfy your need for a Global icon to be on screen?

[Walken]

I absolutely love tournament footy, but I'm being put off from this more and more with the watered down quality and trump related nonsense

 

[ArtetaMoney]

Ticket prices for this World Cup look extortionate; fair play to anyone forking out the dough to go and watch it.

Trump was always going to make it about Trump.

I never understand this.
But most Scots are wanting England in their group.

Seems odd. Surely if you want to play and beat them, you'd want them in the early knockout stages.

 

[longers]

Quietly looking forward to this draw just to see how far they will take the trump rimming

 

[Rita_Poon]

“The ceremony gets started at 17:00 GMT (12:00 local time) on 5 December, but there's going to be far more to this glitzy event than simply pulling the countries out of a hat.

Supermodel Heidi Klum, comedian Kevin Hart and actor and producer Danny Ramirez will co-host.

Before the draw there will be live music performances from Andrea Bocelli, Robbie Williams and Nicole Scherzinger, while Fifa president Gianni Infantino and US President Donald Trump are both expected to make speeches.

Then it is on to video clips of the finalists, introductions and the draw itself.

Former Manchester United and England defender Rio Ferdinand will conduct the draw.

The 47-year-old will be joined by broadcaster Samantha Johnson and a host of sporting greats, including Tom Brady, Wayne Gretzky, Aaron Judge and Shaquille O'Neal.

Once the draw has been completed, the Village People will perform YMCA to bring the curtain down, with the entire ceremony expected to last about 90 minutes.”

What an utter circus.

It's 'live' on bbc 2 now, and somehow this fiasco is on for 2 hours.

Two Hours.

Trump picking out the USA ball..48 teams? Christ.
