I realise it wouldn't have lined the pockets of FIFA executives and I'm bias.

But not picking Australia was dumb.

We'd have full stadiums and lots of beer drunk.

FIFA are getting the World Cup they deserved.

But the players and fans don't deserve this. The game doesn't deserve it.

To be fair we were never in the hunt for it. Even if the bidding was ‘clean’, we would’ve lost out.

Though in hindsight I’m not sure how the AFL would’ve coped having so many grounds wiped out for a fair chunk of the season (especially after COVID).

At least we have the women’s World Cup, though FIFA have even managed to botch that up by freezing locals out of tickets.

Yeah it's an unrealistic thought to have the men's. I still think as a country it would be excellent.

I must look up the women's one. I knew we'd won it, haven't heard much since.

Argentina on tonight.

Will each at least the 1st half.

FIFA are a disgrace. Read an article the booze ban is potentially going to cost them $76M

Probably lots more than that. Kane mentioned above $112m in sponsorship alone + sales. I don't think they would worry as the Qataris have paid them off.
FIFA has always been corrupted. Never should have been awarded the games. This is the world cup Australia missed out on.

Playing the Saudis. I can see the Argies hitting them for 6 like England did to Iran last night.

And they beat us!

Iran’s players stood silent during their national anthem after game last night

Bloody hell, probably going to be more disallowed goals than Australia scores

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Going to be a long night.

It’s mid-next year. Hindmarsh has 5 matches (including a second round match).

FIFA, in their wisdom, opened ticket sales at something like 2am local time, and did zero local advertising for it.

Why am I not too surprised

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Saudi Arabia up 2:1. Thats what you get flicking the channels to watch the cricket.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

This ref is going to play on until Argentina scores.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

This ref is going to play on until Argentia scores.

Lol, tried his best.

Wow, what an upset.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Love a good boil over. Thats cup football.

 

[brucetiki]

Grange line train driver - I’ll have the biggest whoopsie tonight.

Argentina - hold my alcohol free beer

 

[Cap]

Well that shakes things up.
