Thread | 2034 World Cup
at 14:29 11 Dec 2024
If there weren't already enough reasons to ignore International football, today's announcement is the killer. After a secretive and opaque "bid process" Saudi Arabia will host the 2034 World Cup. There is something entirely appropriate about FIFA's "Bribes-R-Us" chairman Infantino handing the crown jewels of world sport to a totalitarian and literally murderous regime.
The national associations have been warned not to voice objections unless they are prepared to walk away from the tournament. They should. Let Azerbaijan, North Korea and Russia join Saudi in their desert sauna kickabout. |

Following the Rs on the radio on Tuesday I caught the headline "young boys thrashed at the wänked-orf stadium". Put me in mind of Dick Emery. |

Outside my local tube station is a stretch of pavement with a drain cover and a concrete surround. For as long as I can remember there has been a "QPR" carved into the concrete. Yesterday I walked past and saw barriers around a new drain cover set in fresh cement. In exactly the same position, someone had written in the wet cement "QPR". I somehow found that reassuring. |
