vanderark14 Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 The more u think about this bid for the world Cup the more I don't think its a good idea. It will become political whether people like it or not and I'd rather England went it alone for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be more of a political football if it was a nearer World Cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jailender Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Apparently, they're going to concentrate on a unified bid for Euros in 2028. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThistleWhistle Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Makes sense I suppose as in its bloated new format there is unlikely to be a queue to host it and makes about the same in terms of returns from what they're saying. Even getting a sniff of competition on a WC bid is bound put the shitters up them as they'll not want to spunk a fortune up the wall again.

Seperate government, not associated in any way politically and adds another team for automatic qualification which in my view weakens the chances of success. Its not like they are required in terms of citys or stadiums etc. Am I missing something? Not a chance, we need to stay well away from this. For how the world/workd fitba will see it it will be the "british" world cup bid... and Ireland. Not interested, don't want it, not interested in entertaining ANY "brit" pish. Saying that I can't see it happening anyway as I doubt FIFA would touch anything to do with England after their "behaviour" last year. the ONLY way I'd go for it is if we were independent and if we were then I'd be looking to do it a different way. Same argument as usual, stay away from ANYTHING smelling of "brit". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reads as though UEFA would welcome a 'joint bid' from the football associations of two countries: 1) The UK (?) 2) The Republic of Ireland Maybe i'm reading it wrong?

vanderark14 Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 I'd rather Scotland took no part in this and I'm surprised Ireland are agreeing to it. The tournament will not be a partnership, like Bzzz said, it will be a massive brit fest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 I would be quite happy with this. Anything that brings a major tournament or share of one to us would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintsparky Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Can see the opposition to anything "British". however if the semis and final, were at Cardiff, Dublin and Hampden, and England only got a few group games at Old Trafford, Anfield and Villa Park, then I would be happy. After the carry on last year, keep it well away from Wembley and London.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same argument as usual, stay away from ANYTHING smelling of "brit". Agreed. There is no way we'll get even a fraction of the recognition that England will get throughout. Would there even be a discussion as to where the final will be? Nope. Wembley would be pre-chosen. I don't really know why England even want to share it. Surely they have ample stadiums to deal with a tournament. Maybe it would be a flat out rejection if there wasn't the Scottish, Welsh, NI and Irish charm thrown into the mix.

The UK has more chance of winning Eurovision than hosting a major football tournament any time soon after the way the Orcs acted during the final last year. It would be a defacto England hosted tournament as soon as it kicked off anyway with the rest of us barely receiving a mention. Also, watch the Better Together mob start to circle this as soon as Indy Ref 2 comes around! "Vote no or you'll lose Euro 2028"!! Aye whatever!

wanderer Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) Hard to get really excited about this. England could host it on their own, and only roping the rest of us together due to political pressure, and a PR stunt in hope that UEFA will not punish the other 4 nations (with the sob story of Dublin being stripped of 2020 games) because of what happened at the Euro final. It will be one stadium from everyone except England, so imagine the tournament will resemble something like this... Wembley + Spurs/West Ham (FIFA allowed 2 stadiums in Moscow at WC2018, so they will use this as a reason) Hampden + St James Park Anfield + Old Trafford Aviva + Windsor Park Cardiff City Stadium + Villa Park They will avoid going to non-football grounds, and only Windsor Park needs work on it to reach the minimum 30k capacity (and even then I do feel they will try find a way to shaft the Northern Irish and link up the Aviva with Anfield, and try add a 3rd London stadium into the mix) I doubt much money will be made available for redevelopment of Hampden.

saintsparky Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 The Celtic nations need to tell the FA, there will be no Wembley, and we are all hosting semis and final....

stocky Posted February 8, 2022 Share Posted February 8, 2022 The final will be at Wembley. Anyone who thinks otherwise is not really thinking this thru Imo.. roughly Semi will be avivva +Hampden/ millennium 8 groups of 4. Countries? ? ,?
