World Cup 2030

Redemption

One less gobshite...
Some tournaments just trip off the tongue Mexico 82, Italia 90, South Africa 2010. Even in its own special way, Qatar 22.

So for 2030, to mark the centenaray of the World Cup Tournament FIFA have nominated [checks notes] 6 countries on 3 continents.

So FIFA just decree now do they? No bidding process anymore? At least under Blatter they pretended it was a democratic process. From reading that, only countries from Asia and Oceania will be considered for 2034. England is never going to hold a World Cup.

Sounds like a shite idea. I don’t mind the expansion and neighbouring countries hosting but to play 3 games in South America and than have the rest of the tournament in Spain Portugal and moroco sounds shite.

Good-at least we can avoid the embarrassing spectacle of Marthur busying himself on the new Nottingham
Forest stadium (which was laughably selected for the 2018 World Cup-which England were never going to get).
Democratic my arse.
To be fair, that wouldn't make the top 50 embarrassing things that tosser did!

I wonder if England will enter? After all, in 1930 they had, once again, left FIFA, so could not have entered the first World Cup, even if they had wanted to. Indeed they only participated in the world game after WWII condescending to enter the World Cup for the first time in 1950 and failing miserably.

Spain 82 was mint though. First World cup of my lifetime that England made the finals. I remember sprinting to my gran's after school and just getting there to see Bryan Robson score against France.

41 years ago. Jesus, I am old.
i can just about remember 78, it’s the theme tune more than anything, but 82……Brazil fisting poor Scotland and having their own goal of the tournament competition…….think out of they 13 they scored 10 were contenders. 😍

Mexico 86 was my first. That was amazing. That Lineker hat trick.
Denmark were fantastic as were the Russians or Soviet Union as they were.

David Narey should never have scored with that toe poke. He just made them angry. '78 was the first I remember. Archie Gemmil scoring that goal. And I had to listen to the final on the radio in the car as my parents insisted that was the time to drive home from the caravan at Skeg. I sulked for days about that!

Good to see you’ve moved on 🤣🤣⬆️, crazy what memories come back Zico in 82, free kick against Scotland, curling it in, after that every time I kicked a ball I’d try and hit a curler as we called it, even if you missed the goal you’d always back it up with “did ya see the curl on it?”

Sure he played with a cigarette on the go, also liked a headband so I was a fan early doors ……and while we’re on that kit made by Topper ? 😍, think maybe apart from the Argentinean Le coq sportif kits is the greatest international kit ever ?

That Brazil kit indeed is quite probably the greatest international shirt ever.

And the iconic image of Socrates, with his headband and scraggly beard, looking wistfully as though he’s searching for a smoke…
