Football is Coming Home
I am getting in first and well in advance of the world cup to say that Football is Coming Home. You can thank me later.

Re: Football is Coming Home
Going to be a cracking world cup.
Short preparation time. Could mean a few shock results.
Best chance for a while for someone new to lift the trophy.

Re: Football is Coming Home
Most world cups before this one, were after the season has ended.
This one is smack in the middle of the season, so all players (unless injured) should be at peak fitness.
Should be cracking games, teams like France, Germany etc thats start slow, wont have this excuse.

Re: Football is Coming Home
The World Cup should NEVER have been granted to Qatar.
The corruption will be exposed, all the under table payments to the delegates who voted

Correct. Plus 16 degrees Celsius average evening temp, 25 C daytime means players will not suffer any heat exhaustion.Michael wrote: ↑Wed Nov 16, 2022 12:38 pm

The World Cup Final is on the 19th December and the EPL will resume on Boxing Day 26 December going into the usual busy New Year period. Shouldn’t be too many complaints by EPL fans about that.

Re: Football is Coming Home

Q1 - I don't knowGod is an Englishman wrote: ↑Tue Nov 22, 2022 9:22 am Can someone expain to me how Iran got a penalty but England's wasn't even looked at?

Q2 - my guess is they can say whatever 'cause' they want that they're taking a knee for so long as it's not illegal in or offensive to Qatar. The armband visually promotes something that is illegal in Qatar and FIFA don't want to upset the host nation because they're a pathetic organisation

Re: Football is Coming Home
Plus another who thinks the same. You can't ignore the facts- Corruption/bribes, human rights not respected and this does include the poor workers (mostly slave labour immigrants) who lost their lives building the stadiums and infrastructure.ozzie owl wrote: ↑Mon Nov 21, 2022 9:24 pmAnother reason why Qatar shouldn’t have got the WC .God is an Englishman wrote: ↑Fri Nov 18, 2022 9:05 amFootball shutting down for over a month is ridiculous.Con M wrote: ↑Thu Nov 17, 2022 8:32 pmCorrect.

So the 'lefties' take a hammering for stating the facts- pretty pathetic and shameful if you want to ignore it and sweep it under the carpet. This is a humanitarian issue and great that people like Philipp Lahm (ex German captain and World Cup winner in 2014) has refused to go to Qatar for these reasons. IMO, Lineker(who I like) and others of that ilk should have done the same.

The Danes will rightly be looking for an inquest into this world cup. Drawing with tunisia and losing to australia will not be seen as acceptable.

Re: Football is Coming Home
You obviously didn’t watch the game
Tell you what though, if Ange were still coaching, we’d have lost all 3 games
