I would have thought there would be more chance that they probably just threw their tournament away. Who knows though!

For the first time in years there are more Real players than Barca players in the squad for a major tournament. If this goes tits up due to him going can you imagine what the likes of Ramos are going to be thinking in pre season training. I don’t get why Perez thought this appointment was a good idea. It’ll blow up in his face.

Can we therefore in turn, sack Ashley Young?

Looks class. A three week holiday there for that would be amazing.

Okay, here's the BBC predictor.

For me I would like to see it hosted by Morocco, the alternative would be a hugely commercial experience which just throws the money back at another rich country. What's the betting on The Budweiser World cup or something similar.
If it was Mexico alone, I would be more positive.

I had Brazil v Germany final. I can't see Argentina doing well. Only just managed to qualify and their midfield/defence is about as good as ours.

Yeah, agree.
Just the way it panned out and had them missing the big teams in the knockout somehow.
Wasn't by design. Just did it on a game by game basis

Conspiracy to get Pep in on a temporary basis perhaps?

Brazil to win it for me. I did the predictor on the FIFA website originally so was probably corrupt anyway.
I admire your optimism and yes the miracle could happen. But, my football brain cant get past our poor defenders. Back in the day England were known for solid defence. This lot are so focussed on getting forward we forgotten how to defend when we need/have too. So when we meet a team that can attack with pace. We will be found out. So my head says with all the luck going, it's not enough to get England a winners medal. Hurts me to say it. Quarters will be a good achievement for these kids. Let's see.

U-21 manager Celades is taking over for the tournament instead by the looks of it.
EDIT: Hierro and Celades together

Not a fan of these joint bids......especially over a such a vast area with different climates & time zones.....its a farce tbh...
And maybe I should put this in the "I told you so" thread, but I reckon the 2026 WC will now see the introduction of the matches being played in quarters to accommodate all the advertising......

The adverts in the US are much worse than here (yes that is possible). Every 5 fucking minutes.

No chance. He’s now the most anti Spanish person in the world. There’s a better chance of Southgate taking the Spain job and Zidane managing Barca one day than Pep taking the Spain job.

Fernando Hierro has got the job

So the reason Qatar got the WC we were told, was to spread the tournament around to get more people interested in football.
Next vote sees a bid win that'll include Mexico hosting the tournament for the third time.
What are these clowns on?

They say they're not about geo economics /politics.
Organisationally I've already cited a couple issues jovially.
What about the vast travel /climatic distances and variations?

Hmm, may sound a bit conspiracy theorist, but if they were allowed to nip to a quick ad or two during a game, when say a player was down injured, that would leave things open for match fixing.
Company wants their ad on TV, player is paid to go down injured in a certain minute of the game etc.
Is there any other game in US where they can't go to ads every 10-15 mins or so?
Can't think of any. Baseball, basketball, American football, golf, tennis, ice hockey, cricket, boxing, all have stoppages where the TV company go go to commercials.
Do they go to ads in F1?

Ah, so in the women's game when they are very heavily pregnant?
So not the Greenest of choices here is it, Plenty of Kerosene going up in smoke with this choice ,linked with a President who implied his countries political support of certain nations were open to question.
Then you couple that with a judgement that Morrocos claims to a territory in it's Southwest worked against it.
Anyway back to tipstering .
Who's going with Achilles' predictions, do they have a Cat in hells chance?
