East Londoner Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 When you consider since 1966 Germany and even the US will have hosted it twice maybe we have to accept it’s not going to happen. I know some will blame what happens at the final of the euros but if that was the case they wouldn’t trust us with euro 2028 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeneys Penalties Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 We'll never host a World Cup in my lifetime at least, but yes the "Cocaine Final" completely rules us out of hosting anything in the foreseeable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never to the dark side Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 Uruguay won it back in 1930,so I don't think their was much chance of us getting the World cup in 2030. Just save your pennys for Germany in 2026 and USA 2028 and stuff you Quatar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 I doubt the players have yet been born who'll represent us when we next host a world cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, the latter part is a joke - I think. Edited February 7, 2022 by Curr Avon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Louie louie Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 Blimey agree to drop aims. Thats about right for that spinless mob at the fa. Be amazed if they gave us the euros tbh. Unless some sort of backsliding has gone on. Why should we drop our bid? Wouldnt trust that mob, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchred Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 Doubt we will get the euros the fa and the metropolitans finest proved they couldn't obtain or organise a piss up in the proverbial brewery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoystonFoote'snephew Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 I think they should award the world cup to Scotland. How else are they going to qualify. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCGav Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) Appreciate people would rather the World Cup but Euro 2028 in the UK would be wonderful. I've yet to be alive for us hosting a tournament, I can only imagine it ramps up the excitement knowing it's happening close to home in familiar grounds. I can picture the beer gardens in 28 degree heat already! Edit - I was alive for us hosting a tournament, albeit I was very young and not interested.

I was four years old later in 1966 so have no recollection of the tournament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerseybean Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 Apparently we have abandoned a bid to host the World Cup in 2030, instead going for the Euros in six years time, https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10483381/The-FA-announce-decision-focus-bid-host-Euro-2028-instead-World-Cup-2030.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Horse With No Name Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 But would it mean all five home nations automatically qualifying as hosts? Be a joke if so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC RISK77 Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 Just as an aside, but did anyone else hate the euros format last year where it was played in multiple different countries and host cities? Always loved the one host format who never had to qualify alongside the previous winners. Maybe I’m too much of a romantic but it annoyed me a bit- aside from the Azzuri winning it of course 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Shaw do a line before sprinting up the pitch to tap in? Or is that just a general moan about Class A substances being present at an event with 80,000 people?

Loco Rojo Posted February 7, 2022 Report Share Posted February 7, 2022 Our chances of winning a bid for one of these is a bit like the UK at the Eurovision Song Contest. Don't know why they waste that money and effort putting together a bid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
