"2030 World Cup, Across six countries in three continents!"

"https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/67010609 That will fuck it up for your average bloke i would expect, the costs to follow your team would blow out for sure. Then people are blasting the decision considering FIFA's supposed stance on carbon neutral tournaments, but let's be honest, they're not going to give a fuck about that. Every man and his dog can see that it's about more money. Silly Cunts at FIFA"

"I didn't think it could be possible, but Gianni Infantino is equally as shit as Blatter was."

"I saw the headline on the BBC and thought it was the stupidest idea they've come up with, but yeah just the first three games. Pain in the arse for whoever is in one of them though, to have a huge long flight between their first two matches. I think multi country bids are going to be the way from now. Seems it's becoming too expensive for many places to host solo."

So just 6 teams will have to suffer the additional travel/jetlag etc that playing in South America involves? That sounds like a good idea!

"It's only the first 3 games in South America, then Spain/Portugal and Morocco is not far away. I think a world cup in Aus would be brilliant, but it's fucking ELEVEN years away, so I don't think I'll say much more than that about it."

"Fifa also confirmed only bids from countries from the Asian Football Confederation and the Oceania Football Confederation will be considered for the 2034 finals Following that decision, Saudi Arabia announced it would be bidding to host the tournament in 2034 for the first time. Is there even any point in Australia/NZ or any SE Asian country's spending the money and devoting the time and planning to putting forward a bid for 2034? There's no way they would be able to compete with the money (and backhanders!) that a Saudi Arabian bid could ..........I guess it'll be 2 World Cups in the Middle East within 12 years of each other."
