World cup in November!

Perhaps we and other European teams should boycott it? The power of the bribe eh?

This is going to seriously feck up our domestic season, we'll be a Championship or Premier League club by then and stuffed full of International players . Fifa are corrupt barstewards, how the fork did this country ever manage to win a World Cup bid

Is this deffo happening? Tbh all it would take would be a couple of big hitters like Germany and Spain to say "no chance" to this, and FIFA would be humbled into a u-turn.

FIFA continuing with their shambles. Until Blatter is removed, replaced or pops his clogs (ideally) then we'll be stuck with this rut of corruption.

You'd rather a human being dropped dead than was removed or replaced wtf!

FIFA being the corrupt organisation that it is havent got the balls to take the competition of qatar and save all the hassle.

I for one wont watch this comp regardless to whether england are inn it or not.

Scudamore has thrown his toys out of the pram, which is always entertaining.

I heard on the radio t'other day that at the current rate, 4000 migrant workers will die during construction of the new stadiums. Unbelievable.

Ah the man who is happily overseeing the deaths of blimey, how many workers now? If he wasn't there for whatever reason, what's to say people would be dying?

Utilitarian theory really, makes good sense.

P.S. I don't wish it on another human being to drop dead, but the man is nothing short of scum and I hope his name is tarnished for the rest of footballing history, regardless of whether he is alive or dead.

exactly.

Agree, this is a farce, if the major European teams refuse to be bullied FIFA will be forced to back down, Blatter is a grade A cnut

Possible World Cup Final match on Dec 23rd.....so they say.

Its crazy an they are also shortening the competition aswell on top of everything else just so Qatar who bribed their way to get the competition can host it with ease.

Just take it off them and awarded it to another country that can host it in the usual format with ease.

A winter world cup works well for norway finland sweden croatia serbia ukraine brazil argentina mexico usa etc. Sod europe and rightly so.

The FA is inhabited by greedy social climbing wankers who have no idea about the grassroots fan who pays his money to watch the matches (not that many of them will get tickets to a match even if they could afford to go to Quatar) but they wont have the bollocks to do anything other than mumble into their own brown envelopes stuffed with cash. If the FA kicked up they would get a threat of no champions league and STFU pronto. If you're on the gravy train don't upset it.

I'm not sure that is entirely accurate, the Chumps League being a UEFA competition, I can't see the problem, start the season two weeks early and finish two weeks late, the Championship would still run so you Gargs would have to put up with losing your WC players.............guffaw,

They said on the wireless that FIFA does not allow any other footy when the WC is on, they need to be told to fork off.

Rugby clubs continue to play through the AIs, 6Ns and the RWC, the massive input of the international game in terms of finance would possibly be the mitigating factor there though.

My point was that they are all linked by the gravy train, FA, FIFA, EUAFA, different versions of the same thing and they will stick together.

Nothing against a winter World Cup if that was the stated intention from the bidding process, actually appeals to me. Platini as UEFA head shouldn't be backing it though, as it's directly contradictory to the wishes of his member states.

It's the weakest argument against a World Cup that is deeply corrupt on numerous levels.
