Forget the world Cup, what we really need is a live cam of the Man City training ground whilst Haaland day by day destroys the confidence of any goalie or centre back left behind.

Those guys will need therapy once the season restarts

I forget what club it was, a none lg team requested a 28 day loan deal for Haaland which I thought was brilliant.

As for the World Cup, I still coundn't be less interested.

With 48 hours to go Qatar have told FIFA they're banning the sale of alcohol near the stadium. This likely won't go down well with Budweiser, who as part of their sponsorship deal were meant to have exclusive alcohol sale rights at the world cup.

Apart from those in corporate areas who will still be able to
buy it….the whole Qatar thing is just a joke!

Yep I've just seen that, it's going well isn't it and it's not even started yet.

And footballers wives attending, Women don't have many rights in this Country, bit of a silly move if you ask me.

The players are there to play football not for a freebie holiday, wives / girlfriends should not be out there imo.

Why not? Can’t support their partners?

 

[kaymac]

Support them how, by waving flags?

If that’s how you also support your team and partner then yes

 

[Rob Noxious]

New Qatar version.

It's quite pleasing. And good to see SGH in there too.

 

[kaymac]

Judging by previous WC’s it hasn’t proven any benefit to the players…

FIFA and Qatar ban all alcohol in the 8 World Cup Stadiums two days before tournament starts.

Budweiser, a major sponsor of FIFA, has paid a fortune for exclusive rights said "Well, this is awkward"

Alcohol sales banned at World Cup stadiums in Qatar

Alcohol will not be sold to fans at the World Cup's eight stadiums in Qatar after Fifa changes its policy two days before the start of the tournament.

This sums up everything that is wrong with football right now.

I love Nana, she talks a lot of sense.

I will be watching as many games as I can. I love watching live football - yes, there are many things wrong about Qatar - I hope to be able to watch many more World Cups but, who knows, not going to deny myself following the tournament due to something I cannot change. Besides which I have Brazil in our sweepstake !

I get that you want to support your Country, you wouldn't find anyone more patriotic than me.I just don't like the hypocrisy. I'm changing my mind, I don't think I'll be watching any of it. The love for the World Cup has gone for me. It use to be a game for common folk to enjoy, now it's about money.

Understand your view but, for me, It's not just about supporting England, I want to watch the tournament, the only sport I enjoy, as I have done since childhood. Of course it is about money but, sadly, there isn't much left there days that isn't.
