Roo Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 (edited) Perfect dates in Australia, quieter sport calendar period unless you're manic about the early summer cricket tests (looks like the Windies & SAfricans are visiting). Only downside might be the increased difficulty of day sleeping in tropical summer rather than winter, so might opt for more replays over live. Can imagine a lot of soccer balls and related merch filling stockings next Xmas if the final is on December 18. And Asian Cup and HOME women's World Cup six months later And as an atlas nerd kid Qatar was my obsession at one point and I did follow the Q-league for a bit in the 2000s so a part of me is fond of them hosting it.

milkface Posted March 14, 2022 Author Share Posted March 14, 2022 (edited) As per Wikipedia (Premier League, but will be the case for most leagues worldwide): There will also be a mid-season break for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, with the last match on the weekend of 12–13 November 2022, and the first match after the World Cup on 26 December 2022, following the World Cup final on 18 December 2022.

milkface Posted April 7, 2022 Author Share Posted April 7, 2022 A must watch video that one of my favourite channels just put out - taught me a lot of things I was not aware of. 2 Link to comment
BobDobalina Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 I member that day when they awarded both the 2018 and 2022 World Cups hosts, and and thinking damn, this is some next-level openly corrupt-ass shit, even for FIFA. Gonna try to stick to principle and keep my patronage 0 and viewing minimal (it will probably be unavoidable at points but w/e). Worry not comrades since Alan Partridge will always have us covered for World Cup '94! 2 Link to comment

FIFA... (smh) Reveal hidden contents Definitely a first world problem but the world cup is meant to be watched in the summer - in bars, city squares, beer gardens or at home with the windows wide open. Not in winter 1 Link to comment

chenGOD Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 I figure by using pirate streams only, I’m balancing out the morality of watching it. 5 hours ago, dr lopez said: Plus qatar ecuador is a hell of a shitty first game.

beerwolf Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 (edited) Love the World Cup. Much more than domestic football. Edited November 20, 2022 by beerwolf 1 Link to comment
J3FF3R00 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 I rather enjoyed watching ECU hand Qatar their asses. Also, got to pull out my Wales sweater, pom-pom hat & flag today. Glad they tied. Fucking USA is so boring. What a lackluster, pointless group of fans. Full disclosure, I’m the farthest thing from a sports fan. I just love the World Cup and all things Welsh. When I lived in NYC, it was by far the best place to watch the cup because you could find a different bar for each country at play. I miss that. 1 1 Link to comment
