I remember it all, It was a defining moment in my youth. I started secondary school in the September, our school team all wanted to play 433 and talked the PE teacher around regaling Ramsay's wingless wonders, he was an old school 532 man.

 

I've met Jack Charlton, Geoff Hurst and George Cohen too.

Loved Geoff Hurst. I don't remember 66 though. Too young.

How can it be a clown house if it is posh?

Hard to believe England hasn't hosted a WC since 1966. Might be the only way they would ever win it again.

If you think since then the hosts have been

 

Germany x 2

Mexico x 2

Argentina

Spain

Italy

USA

France

Japan/S.Korea

South Africa

Brazil

 

with Russia & Qatar to come

 

 

it's hard to deny we're not due to host it again

Do you still think Qatar will get the 2022?

yep

 

it's FIFA, money has spoken, head in the sand stuff from here on, too late to change it blah blah blah

 

 

was hoping the Feds might have dropped a grenade into it by now but it doesn't seem like it's gonna happen

It's a f*cking scandal to be perfectly honest.

USA already lined up to be given 2026 ahead of us too. Ridiculous.

Agreed. But that is because of Russia 2018.

The biggest mystery to me is Mexico having it twice in the time period.

It's because the FBI are all over FIFA

That was originally going to Colombia but they had to bail out. Mexico was the closest with all of the infrastructure and stadiums in place to do it.

Mexico will be deadly on free kicks by then.
