It's a poor reflection on them though that they can't make it sufficiently attractive to attract bids. Much like the Olympics I guess, the demands are too prohibitive.
It can. Just requires yet another rule change by FIFA on who can host when
It couldn't be anywhere
That's a new one on me. Really made me laugh. Mind you might be preferable to S A
Quite clever by FIFA to guarantee it being in either of those continents, and Australia probably were paid off, or given some guarantees, and meant no other reasonable country could bid.
Yes, they would have done, sport mad and it would have helped the development of [Mens] football immensely over here.
Then England should have bid in order for the ROW to financially benefit from the Saudis hosting this WC.
All I would say, is football hasn't been a 'fairytale' sport for years. The beginning of the end came decades ago. It's the reason no-one cares about cups anymore, entry to games costs ££££s and grounds are filled with plastic supporters in corporate boxes, players are paid upwards of £250k per week (double that in Saudi) and clubs are owned by questionable people.
Yes agreed, the Super League will be the end. I think you're right on the above too, i've just been ignoring it because of our own Brentford fairytale.
My AI body will be at it as I can’t stand that level of heat… my AI will also drink for me as my body will be f***ed by then
I think Australia were seen off, by FIFA allowing less than a month to consider and prepare a bid for a World Cup happening in 11 years time.
There was lots about the Qatar World Cup which wasn’t great but not sure about passionless football matches. The South Americans fans, Arabs (including Saudi’s and Iranians) and the North Africans sides (especially Moroccan fans) from afar made a racket at the games.
