England are actually looking like a good side these days, although this is the first England match I've watched in a while admittedly. Bellingham is the difference maker.

Dels · Post 13-09-23 19:09

Scary thing about Bellingham is that he's got a brother who plays rather good as well. There's two of them!

The UK and Ireland are hosting Euro 2028.

We're so bad at qualifying we can't even buy a guaranteed spot from the world's most corrupt organisation.

"The issue of qualification is yet to be finalised, with UEFA traditionally reserving a maximum of two automatic spots for hosts. It is likely all five host nations will be involved in qualifying, with potential wildcard spots for up to two nations, should they fail to qualify."

And apparently WC2030 is going to be held in 6 countries over 3 continents.
Aintnobodygottimeforthat.

Myles · Post 04-10-23 16:47

And 2034 to be on 3 planets across 2 solar systems.

Duncan!! · Post 04-10-23 20:51

And then in my mom's hometown of Albion, Indiana [population 1500 or so]

Liam · Post 05-10-23 18:48

The 2030 World Cup should be in South America as it's the 100 year anniversary of the first tournament. Why can't Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay host it themselves?

Then they can give Spain/Morocco/Portugal the 2034 tournament to stop the Saudi's ruining something else (although Fifa have already done a good job of that themselves).

Duncan!! · Post 05-10-23 20:04

They don't want 2 consecutive World Cup's in the Americas?

Liam · Post 06-10-23 18:40

North America and South America are different confederations though so I don't think that's an issue. Being cynical they probably spread it across 3 continents in 2030, thereby forcing the 2034 tournament to Asia/Oceania so that it makes it easier for Saudi Arabia to host it.

Myles · Post 06-10-23 18:57

Yeah they should do it the way Liam said and stop with this Saudi sportswashing bullshit, but of course FIFA will follow the money.

Get ready to be embarrassed by thugs & hooligans again. Can't wait.
The multiple continent world cup is obviously ludicrous. I agree with Liam that it should just be in South America, then Spain/Morocco in 2034.

Eff off to Saudi. You thought FIFA couldn't get worse after Septic Bladder well we've been proved wrong by Mr I'm a gay ginger. Joke organisation.

I hope not.

I'm really happy that Scotland are involved. I hope we can all behave ourselves. Otherwise it could be another 30 odd years befiore this country gets to host something.

I can't believe we have another international break. There's too many.

verno · Post 12-10-23 23:38

I see England aren't taking the automatic qualification route. Hope that doesn't blow up in our faces.

Yes, too many International games and too soon.
