Caledonian Craig Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Hmm I wouldn't really mind the tournament just being held in one country - makes sense. However, Russia has been one of the hardest hit countries so find it hard to understand why it should be held there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think our lovely neighbours to the South might be foaming at the mouth if this happens. I see a Daily Mail campaign to get a "football's coming home" petition to UEFA and any other influential Johnnie Foreigner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However there could be a deal to support bringing World Cup to British Isles in 2030 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JECK Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Mental to think the tournament could be moved elsewhere and is a realistic possibility now. For some ridiculous reason in the back of my mind it assumed everything would be back to normal by then. Surely possibility that there could be no fans regardless of where it’s played? Or will they postpone it again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the founders of international football we should host it. Get a petition going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly be a new way for us to do things though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I predict the covid vaccine will be added to the winter flu one in the years to come. In the short term there will be a political row about which vaccine to roll out and this might cause some delay.
