World Cup ticket prices...

There's a lot of things wrong with college sport. need to be 3 years or so since leaving high school before you can play in NFL; argument has been that forces kids to have to play college football, but equally the other argument is it gives bodies time to develop in a contact sport.
The downside to things opening up is there are now a lot more transfers between colleges than there ever were, bigger programmes able to splash the cash on players.

Didn't know that about NFL - can see some logic in the rationale tbf given the way their sport seems to be structured. In the NBA you don't have to have played in college or do the full 3/4 years but you have to be exceptionally talented if not using college as a pathway to the draft

What a farce though. We know the mo ey won't go where it's meant to and loads of FIFA and Trump cronies will pocket it.

Will be interesting to see what the prices of the tickets the FAW get cost should we get there. The idea of paying well over a ton plus to watch garbage like Qatar is hilarious. They're weakening the tournament by bringing in shit minnows and charging everyone a fortune at the same time

The thing for me is that it SHOULD be a tournament of the best football teams in the world, and it clearly isn’t.

City under 23’s would beat half of them.

It’s been turned into an “event”. “The people’s game”? My arse. The only people who will be able to go to the final are millionaires, people on corporate jollies and celebrities.

It’s all a bunch of politically correct bollocks imho, all about the $ and self promotion and egos of FIFA and that orange cunt.

Players don’t matter
The game doesn’t matter

As for the mugs, sorry fans, we’re totally unimportant.

If someone said to me before I read this thread that 2 posters have blamed Trump for the WC prices, then these 2 posters would have been at the top of my list.

Fuck me.

He's not to blame for the prices but if you don't think him and Infantino have done dodgy deals then I've got some magic beans to sell you.

I doubt either will be in the final, mate, especially since Iraq didn't qualify.

Sorry it’s Iran, even still tho, Iran are fucking shit who would go watch their country play them? It would just be an easy nailed on win…

Thank God the forum has @Popeye to defend this country.
One letter wrong and you would have bombed an entirely wrong country.

And we thought the Americans were inept

And, tbh, surprised nobody commented about Beaver stadium.

Oh, for fuck's sake, anything to keep you happy...

Anyway, swiftly moving on, looks like FIFA have been shamed into lowering some prices, if Wales don't qualify I'd like to go and see Iraq v New Zealand.
