Sounds like your issue isn't with the World Cup then but air travel in general

It is, I just think they've created a lot of unnecessary travel. Should be in 1 country.

Are they increasing the amount of teams for that World Cup ?

Yes 48. Infantantio wanted 48 for Qatar in 2022 but it didnt go through I believe

England didn’t bid so there chances were 0%, you gotta throw your hat in the ring.

How the USA was allowed to be a bidding nation when they ban entry in to that country based on race and religion is beyond me.

Like that ABBA song money, money money that might have something to do with it....it should have gone to Morocco. They haven’t banned anyone from coming in and would have been far more affordable for the average fan

One thing is for sure, FIFA still as bent as a butchers hook but this time the Americans got what they wanted.

Trump will be gone by then and so will his travel ban.

 

[Toffeeslam]

Trump will be gone by then and so will his travel ban.

Should never had been allowed to bid in the first place .......and what guarantees do we have that the ban will be gone ?

 

[Pettifogger]

If FIFA is going to start using human rights as a metric for hosts I might suggest they're a little bit late

 

[mmmmsnouts]

Trump will be gone by then and so will his travel ban.

Wonder if they’ll show the games in his prison. Assuming he hasn’t been shanked by then.

 

[LinekersLegs]

Selfishly pleased as will mean I get to go to some games and also will be able to watch on tv without getting up at an ungodly hour.

Ah yes, Morocco.

Another country that could have been financially ruined by a tournament that will pack up and be gone within a month but leaves a legacy that will keep the host nation on the brink of bankruptcy.

But it’s worth it, for those few weeks.

Because no ones really arsed when the circus is packed up and gone. Not arsed until some paper/website does a ‘X Years on from...’ piece that shows stadiums and infrastructure that’s just been left hollow.

Ah yes, Morocco.

The fact that he literally can not be in office at that time anymore due to term limits. As others have side if morality of the a bidding nations government is the primary concern there will be little to no hosts in the future. Yes Teresa May and co are a shining light and England should only host...

Morroco I'm sure has plenty of its own flaws as does every country. Yeah Trumps terrible but shouldn't dismiss the whole country for events 8 years down the line.

Morocco does have its flaws but have never have they banned people from entering the country due to race or religion or anything.

What happens when Muslim and Arab countries qualify? Would they not be allowed to attend ?

Ah yes, Morocco.

Ah yes because nobody wants better infrastructure and more investment in their country

You saying that only a hand full of countries can host a World Cup ? Because that what will happen now which make so ‘a world cup’

They will because it wont exist in 8 years. I'd be surprised if the ban lasted more than 2.
