I wonder if American Samoa would have qualified by this time.

PS - Sack Blatter!

It needs a dramatic statement on this one from major countries. They need to boycott it at any time that affects their leagues. Do they seriously expect Bundesliga, Seria A, La Liga and the Premier League to shut up shop for 2 months.

It's estimated over 75% of the players will come from European leagues, meaning most other leagues won't be affected much. So if it goes to a vote they could probably push it through.

pretty crap world cup with no Spain, Italy, Germany, England, France, Portugal....

[N5 1BH]

You expect all these countries to hold their nerve? They would all love to get one over the EPL at their busiest time
Most of Europe has winter breaks around then and what with FIFAs capacity for 'incentives' I wouldn't be surprised if it's a done deal already. Maybe the individual league TV deals might be a problem for FIFA

[otto62]

Meh

[Old Master]

Don't most of the European leagues close down December and January?

[gone]

Come on, the easy solution is just to give that WC to Australia. You know it makes sense.

Great idea , after we have proven track record of successfully hosting world sport.

Why would it go to the country that came bottom in the voting?

Because obviously that country was the only one who wasn't corrupt.

Of the big ones, only Germany stop for a significant period (between a month and six weeks). Italy stop for one weekend, same with Spain I think.

I did read a mock schedule somewhere that made some sense. Had Euro seasons starting in July, they'd have their stop for WC preparations in early November and be back to their clubs by mid Janaury at the latest. Can't remember where I saw it, however.

Spot on and yet FIFA pointed the finger at Australia and England over corruption.

Why are you obsessed with who I support and hijack nearly all my posts with the same inane question?

Because you're incapable of answering a simple question and I enjoy showing up fake modern football supporters

You see how I answered your question, why don't you give it a go.

Ok just to shut you up.

Australia in World Cup.
Sheff Wed in English league.
Adelaide United in A league.
Comets in FFSA comp.

Now I have answered you , don't ask me again.

So you support a country that you're not even from ad you don't support your own country

Who do you support when Adelaide United play Comets in pre season?

Judging by this you have turned your back on Croydon and England.

I cant see the big UEFA clubs allowing FIFA to do this as it will totally disrupt the Champions league and Europa League calenders.

Just ignore him. Giving a reasonable answer doesn't stop a bully.

[God is an Englishman]

Bully? What are you 12?

[ozzie owl]

If Qatar can't hold the WC in July , they should be stripped of the tournament.

FIFA then start a new bid process.

Judging by this you have turned your back on Croydon and England.

I would imagine there's quite a few people who would love to turn their backs on Croydon. Absolute shithole with a terrible one-way system

I did some research before finding a club for my boy this year. A comment from a current PL coach was "if it was my son I'd send him to Croydon". Heard very good things about their junior set up.
