World Cup 2022

Fair play.

I treat it as a holiday, and I just don’t think the Middle East is somewhere I can enjoy.

Everyone is different, I suppose. Understand you’re point, I’m excited for 2030 most of all.

I did think they’d already agreed that MetLife had already been confirmed as the final in 2026, is that not the case?

You sound like a racist here a little bit, no offence.

If Mexico City is hosting, Denver’s altitude shouldn’t even be in the conversation. Who knows, we may yet get to host. It’s all speculation at this point. Just seems other cities might have the inside track. Helps that Chicago pulled out though. They would’ve been an absolute lock.

Yes that is helpful. I guess it is tough to bid when you aren't sure exactly what the stadium situation is going to be in four years.

Why Canada if you don’t mind me asking? If I wasn’t a Yank, I’d probably be choosing Mexico first as my preferred destination. Atmosphere down there will be next level.

I've always wanted to visit Canada, if I hadn't emigrated to Aus I would have probably moved there.

I did go to the world cup in Brazil so know full well what the latina atmosphere is like, but I also think that Mexico and the US are both a bit gun happy which doesn't really interest me.

I'm sure Brazil has higher gun crime rates than both of them. tbh, I never really felt safe while there and it's not a feeling I enjoy

Bore off.

Because I know what I like? I go away to relax, enjoy a pint, and not have to worry about holding someone’s hands.

Racist

Eh? You can not fancy paying money to visit places and it’s not cos of racism.
The UAE isn’t something I fancy particular because it’s so shiny and new. There’s no real footballing tradition. It will be a very different experience to places like Brazil where every bar was filled with fanatical locals watching any game.
Nothing to do with racism.

It is offence to accuse someone of being a racist - hence the reports made on your post and the warning you've received.

I checked your warning history to check you didn't have a history of such remarks and, well;

Haaland is one ugly [Poor language removed], but he is just an amazing player. But then again, all the Northern Europeans are ugly anyways; with France being the notable exception.

I think you're a potential WUM. Pack it in.

I wasn't accusing anybody of being a racist. I was pointing out somebody "sounded little racist" because of their comments. In my opinion, there's a bit of a difference.

UAE/Qatar are one of the most diverse countries in the world, and there will definitely be a vibrant scene of all nationalities watching the WC. Just because PDA is illegal in Qatar doesn't mean these places are inferior.

So by your logic...

You sound like a bit of a gobshite.

I'm not saying you are a gobshite.

I'm not accusing you of being a gobshite.

You just sound like one, because of your comments.

Nonsense, eh?

I do believe that normal rationale people can unconsciously make racist comments or comments that borderline on discrimination, but it doesn't make them racist. It's my duty and yours as well, to make them aware and educate them.

How magnanimous of you

Anyway, back on topic, it will be interesting to see who takes the last slot

New Zealand will be regulars once the new 48 team format comes in as Oceania will get a guaranteed place, so no more inter-confederation play off

This will be the last time they have to qualify via this route

I don't think they will to be honest, but I'd like to see it

Make it México and ban the yanks while we scran the finest food in the world.
