    Until these medieval belief countries modernise, none of them should be allowed to hold a global event.

    The corruption in this game is fucking disgusting. Everyone knows whats going on but no one cares.

    Honestly the only real hope was like China tbh since they have a lot of money compared to the other potential bidders. But the sport isn’t big enough there yet and they’ve got other focuses it seems.

    The Women’s World Cup is 4 years away and FIFA is giving more attention to World Cups that are a decade ahead…

    On the bright side though, by 2034 they’ll have ruined the sport to the extent that no one’s gonna watch that anyway.

    Than back to USA for the 2038 World Cup as I can’t see any countries in Oceania hosting the competition.

      New Zealand is the only country that possibly could in OFC but we only have 1 stadium that can fit 50k people, the best we could do is hosting a couple of pool games with Australia doing the rest but that’s not going to happen now

    I still haven’t got over how they disallowed the first goal against Qatar in the past World Cup for no reason at all. I wonder what shenanigans we’ll see at this one…

    It’s actually impressive at this point how fucking shameless these scum cunts are

    They are very clearly aware of the huge levels of backlash and also how fucking stupid this decision is for football and non-football related reasons, yet they don’t care.

      Qatar 2022 was a success by their metrics, of course they’d do it again. Unless some FA or players boycott it, there’s no incentive for them to not do it

        Exaclty. Record revenue, record bribes on their private accounts, good story with Messi winning it. It is 100% counted as massive success by fifa.
