World CUp Boycott 11:00 - Oct 25 with 3137 views | willis1980 | Although we had similar before the last euros now toure is contemplating a boycott of 2018 wc, its seems that both of the choices of venues after brazil are proving less than popular with some. it wouldnt surprise me if this competiton fizzles out after the pigs ear that is yet to be made by fifa http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/24660581 [Post edited 25 Oct 2013 11:01]

FIFA may pay a bit more than lip service and close a few more stands down at clubs where 'racist' chants are clearly audible but black players and the countries they represent do not have the power base to have more than token punishments meted out, if European countries were to pull out a very different story. | | | |

My guess is that only a very small percentage are even aware of the Qatar debacle. FIFA may get a black eye as a result of their stupidity and corruptness. But the long-term viabiilty of the World Cup is in no doubt. | |
