The ONLY World Cup thread (merged)

[Gunner Rob]

Spain sack their manager 24 hours before the competition starts. Who are they gonna get at this late stage?

Send in the clowns a.k.a. Wenger

Arteta is available isn't he ?

[Nos89]

Well, that is a reflex reaction if ever I heard one. I wouldn't be surprised if he is re-appointed by Friday, unless Del Bosque will step out of retirement.

USA, Canada and Mexico to host the 2026 WC.

FIFA......they've done it again


That's half the globe FFS

He signed a new contract with spanish fa a month ago, and they only found out that he was going to madrid FIVE MINUTES before it was publicly announced ? How the fcuk is that a knee jerk reaction ? If spanish fa had any balls they would go after him and real madrid cos they were not even contacted despite him being under contract If one spanish club did it to another spanish club there would be hell to pay

[1989]

Heard the Spanish FA are falling over themselves currently to get in contact with Wenger...........................................NOT.

Utter fucking wankers FIFA with or without Sepp Blatter. Forget the logistics, the US and Mexico will now host the tournament 2 and 3 times respectively since it has been in England/UK.

Then we got Alex Morgan (who???!!) tweeting the World Cup is coming home!!!!

Is the World cup becoming something like the Eurovision Song Contest. Something we will never win or host ever.


There is now the possibility that England fans might never see a World Cup finals in our country in our lifetimes.

Looking at the quality of the current england squad, I think that hosting it might be your best chance of making the finals

Fair enough mate, we are dogshit right now. But I would think having a tournament in the home countries possibly even including Ireland would capture the imagination a lot more, than across pretty much one continent. Could you imagine travelling from Canada down to Mexico.

Obviously I am only taking the piss - judging by the successes at underage level, england seem to have a conveyor belt of talent coming through that they havent had in my lifetime. I have long since argued that young english players need to go to other european leagues if the national team is to improve, and it seems with the likes of sancho and lookman already moving, there seems to finally be a realisation of how it will help them improve

I would love to see the world cup finals held in the uk and if some games were held in Ireland too, then so much the better. The problem is that when these competitions are held over here, we automatically feel that we will get tickets even though the reality is that you would be as likely to get a ticket if you were living in china, nigeria, estonia or wherever

Cricket Schmicket.

I always knew Madrid couldn't give a continental shite about anyone but themselves but I didn't think that it would stretch as far as their own national team. Really poor show from all involved.

Kudos to the Spanish FA for pulling the trigger so soon and getting rid. Well played.

Emery to Spain and Wenger to answer Arsenal's call...it's all falling into place.

[1989]

Too late for Le Fraud, Spain have appointed Fernando Hierro.

That's another job he turned down I'm sure.
