Let's hope the tournament is a lot better than this travesty of a draw.

It took 2h 15 minutes. Shoddy production at times. And trump gets a peace award especially made for him by FIFA who don't like to mix politics and sport.

Iran and Egypt have complained after FIFA scheduled a World Cup match between the two nations in Seattle to coincide with the city's LGBTQ+ Pride festival.

LGBTQIA+

Oh well, nevermind. Aren't the US banning everyone from those countries from entering the US anyway?

**Paul** · Today, 03:48

Regardless of who it is, why schedule a match to clash with a festival, seems like poor planning.

**Damien** · Today, 08:37

Well, other things will be happening in the city when football games are on. London wouldn't postpone Pride if a World Cup game were happening at Wembley, I don't think.

I was intending to go. I've been collecting England 'caps', i.e attending England games, for the last couple of years and joined the England Supporters Travel Club with a view to this World Cup, but the prices are insane. Far more than anyone was expecting.

But never mind. Hopefully, the Euros won't be as expensive, and so far, UEFA have priced both the Euros and the Champions League final far more reasonably. Around £100 for one of the cheaper tickets at both finals and around £1000 for the most expensive.

I should have enough England caps by then to attend every England game up to and including the final should we make it.

Makes the BBC licence fee option look excellent value.
