2026 FIFA World Cup

[Exeter_Gently]

Don't think I've ever been less arsed about a WC.

The best thing about this World Cup will be the build-up, replays of old classic matches, goal montages, nostalgic gold...

Then the real thing will start and I'll give it a two-week break to leave the off-Broadway matches to the insomniacs, unemployable, and idle. I'll take an interest from the last 16.

 

[Drico]

I can foresee how this will pan out : strictly applied for the first 5-10 games, then gradually, not applied. Looking forward to the millions of booking for players surrounding the referee.

I like that rule.

Promises much touchline-related controversy...

I've heard the USA will be running out to

The best thing about every World Cup is hearing about 1966.

The best thing about this World Cup will be coming on here and saying that England should clearly win it due to the size of their population.

Oh, and Scotland winning it, of course.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Italy should score!

 

[WA Toffee]

Well, with NI and Wales out, it seems the home nations hopes now rest with Scotland

They do nothing but grift.

No sympathy for anyone going to that tournament. They are asking to be fleeced, not to mention interned. In some ways, that consoles me tonight.

Don't know how far out the stadium is, but surely it would be cheaper for 4 people to jump in a taxi or uber than pay $300 for 4 train tickets

 

[Jamo Martinez]

My only interest, is in how big of a flop it`s going to be and how the fat orange goon, tries to spin it as the best World Cup of all time.

Who the hell would want to go anyway ?

ICE at the airports and at the grounds.
Having to submit your email accounts / social media upon entering the US ( that alone would be enough for me ).
Iran war more than likely still raging.
The grounds and fans making nice juicy targets for terrorist atrocities.
Trump and his goons.
Price gouging of tickets, hotel rooms, hospitality etc on a grand scale.
Players from certain countries now having to submit bonds to keep the Orange Hitler happy.

Nein Danke.

I wouldn't waste my money on a plane ticket as I'm sure after checking my social media history, they wouldn't let me in.

Or do they do the check at the embassy (consulate?) when you apply for a visa?

This year marks the 90th anniversary of the Munich Olympics. What a pleasant sporting affair that was.

Agreed, zero sympathy. I am certainly not pulling any punches with my opinion on people going over. You have to be an absolute moron and/or living under a rock to even consider going to that monstrosity of a tournament.

My brother lives in Vancouver and is planning on leaving the city, taking a trip to the wilderness and renting his house out to the highest bidder, absolutly no issues with fleecing someone.

Renting your house out to football fans ? Thats a bold and risky strategy
