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. |  | | |  |

I'm not trying to make this political, just agreeing with earlier posts that this has been going on for decades.
It's an occasionally recurring theme of the excellent 'It was what it was' football history podcast, going back as far as the very first Finals in Uruguay in 1930. |
EVERY World Cup and European Championship allocation since they began have been political.
Money and influence talks. |  | | |

Ireland will take the moral high ground and will be blatant in their efforts to refuse to qualify. |  | | |

2038 World Cup to be held in Mordor. Representatives of Sauron claim that the Dark Lord sees this as a way of transitioning his economy away from pure evil and the desire to enslave all life on Middle Earth and opening up the state to tourism beyond the Black Gate. 'This is not sportswashing', says Ronaldo, latest £10m per week signing for Minas Morgul... |  |

Lets worry about the next one first in America, Mexico and Canada .I promised my daughter we are going to see a WC game in the US and I might have also mentioned Ireland would be there . ( a few beers consumed probably more than a few )
We just need to avoid a group of death then hope our opponents come down with some virus ,flu or eat bad food so we can get a few wins .
The WC in 2034 is so far off its hard to focus but there is no way it should be in SA I feel but like golf and most top level sports they have unlimited money and it talks .
Did I mention FIFA suck balls btw |  | | |
