How the fudge is this going to work? All these worldwide footballing playing associations and other sporting events affected by a country that not only doesn’t play football but is not a place anyone would want to visit. We’ll have a mid season break, a transfer window just after the World Cup and then end up playing into the summer!!
Haha. I haven’t lived there for a long time and wish I’d picked a different user name! GreenwichSpur if a mod can change itDunno
Bizarrely I was just in MK when I read it

I thought it was already announced that it would be at the end of the year? Or is the news just the exact dates now being known?

I still think it will all unravel and it will be hosted by a different country. Perhaps even England, as we have the infrastructure to hold one tomorrow
Hmm, who else is to blame for this then? World Cup is a summer tournament, if a country can’t host it in the summer then it shouldn’t be considered, no matter how much they are giving FIFA in bribes. They blatantly lied about creating air con stadiums.Don't blame Qatar or FIFA. They originally wanted to hold the World Cup in June-July but some people complained it will be too hot in Qatar during that time. So, now they have moved to November-December and people are still complaining. Of course, June-July period is the best time for any World Cup. Having it in November-December means we have to wait extra 5 months. Also, it will clash with most European leagues including PL. Not sure how players will react to having the World Cup in mid season instead of end of season. I think the only people who will benefit most from having the World Cup in November-December are those who plan their holidays at end of the year and school children who normally have year end break.

What’s your take on the humanitarian issue there as well? Collateral damage?
Do clubs have to release their players? Could they just say no?
