Not to poo on your joke or anything, but is 2026 even possible?

My understanding is that a region cannot host again within 2 World Cups of that region hosting. So with Russia hosting in 2018, doesn't that nullify the region of UEFA for 2022 and 2026?


2026 should be an interesting bid. With UEFA/AFC out of the running, the assumed Uruguay 2030 hosting (100th Anniversary) puts CONMEBOL out of the running too.

Australia, Africa (likely Egypt) and North America (either US or Mexico) would probably be the only ones that could land it.

Fuck it, Canada 2026. :fuckyocouch:
 
Qatar's part of the AFC, so I don't think Australia can bid again until at least 2034, by that time you'll probably have India and China launching bids, with Japan and Korea both being viable options again since it would've been over 3 decades since they hosted it in 2002. This was probably's Australias shot, well, it was until Qatar had to start throwing oil money around when they realised that they had the worst bid. Actually I lie, they led their competition in one criteria that FIFA simply wouldn't bend the rules for, even for all the oil money in the world.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Press_Freedom_Index

121 Qatar

140 Russia

I can't wait till a BBC on the warpath tears them apart.

Africa probably won't be in with another shot for a while since it's not really the place you go every 16 years.

Ah, figured Australia was part of Oceanialand or whatever the fuck.

So presumably 2026 is Americans then?


p.s. Where the fuck is Julian Assange when you need him. Leak some FIFA shit and get this over with.

Word is that with Kazakhstan moving from AFC to UEFA and Australia moving from OFC to AFC Wales are looking for a move from UEFA to CONCACAF. We quite fancy a bit of the easy street that the US and Mexico get when it comes to qualifying.

Rather than having to play Germany, Czech Republic and Switzerland every bloody tournament we reckon that a few games against Montserrat, St Kitts and Nevis, Aruba and Turks and Caicos Islands could see us pick up a couple of draws at home if we play really well and get a little bit of luck.

No, that game will either be at Maes Tegid in Bala or Parc Stebonheath in Llanelli. If you end up playing against a big team like Germany or Argentina then we might move it to one of the big grounds like Cwmbran Stadium or Rodney Parade.
 
How's my ass taste EPL?
Temp.jpg
 
I remember thinking how good Nasri was going to be after seeing his skill in flashes last season. Jesus Christ is he on right now, easily my favorite players to watch in the league.
 
This Hughton firing is absolutely ridiculous, but...

Jol or O'Neil - Good
Pardew or Curbishley - BAD!!! BADBADBADBADBADBAD

I really don't see any reason why O'Neil (who left Villa due to a lack of funds and boardroom meddling) or Jol (who just left Ajax and complained about a lack of resources) would be interested in this job.
 
I just dont get it. Why fire the guy, he is like by his players, has Newcastle clear of the drop zone easily....Ionno

And not bad by Liverpool today at all...so not bad, they had that shit won and I was sleeping by the 47th minute.

Next monday though....Arsenal and United, then Chelski who cant buy a win, whoa what fun.
 
No way Jol comes to us.

No money, owners a fat cunt and wasn't Hughton his assistant/BFF at Tottenham? No way he comes here when Hughton just got treated like dirt.

Hopefully we finally see some protests again.. but looking at Newcastle-online - ITZ ALL PART OF THE MASTER PLAN! WE GUNNA GET JOL LOL!!!! ASHLEY RULZ DOWN WITH KEEGAN!

Don't see where any of that has been said. Some people want Jol, but everyone bar like two posters hate Ashley and want Hughton back.

Yup, thats another good point. Hughton told friends at the start of the year that he knew it would 'all end in tears'.
 
http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/new...talk-tactics-with-chairmen-article645857.html

LULZ Bought.

Like the bit about where Hughton would try and meet with them to at least humour their ideas about match day tactics, Keegan just told them to go fuck themselves. One more reason why I get a hard on whenever I hear the name of the that great, great man.

they want a boss who can attract the Sky cameras to St James’ more often, at almost £500,000 per televised match
Click to expand...

Got news for you fatty, managers don't bring the cameras, winning does. Phil Brown and Ian Holloway are probably two of the most "showbiz" (read twats) managers in the games recent history, but how ofter were/are Hull and Blackpool on Sky?

Newcastle didn't used to have most of their games on Sky because of the faces of Keegan and Bobby Robson, they had all their games on sky because they won constantly, while playing successful attacking football. You could have Mourhino on the sideline, but if his team is losing all the time no ones gonna pay attention.
