For the first time I can remember I am not feeling the love for this World Cup. Don’t know if it is because I feel we are under performing, wrong manager. The host country, T system / FIFA choosing Doha. But am just not feeling it. Maybe that will change once the tournament starts.
I think it is partly because of when it is happening. All focus is on the league, normally the league and all cups are over and everything is clear for the tournament.
I'm sure we will all get into it when it starts but I'm not feeling it yet either.

I’ve booked the afternoon off for the Iran game. We’re having a pre-Christmas lads day/night incorporating the USA game and going round our Welsh mates for the Wales game. So I’m at least looking forward to those games. The tournament as a whole hasn’t really captured me in the way that it normally would though. Suspect because of the timing rather than any other reason.

Yeah, the World Cup is supposed to be about beer gardens in the summer. I have a feeling pubs will just be overpacked since everyone will be watching it inside instead. Almost certain to be another rise in Covid in that case as well. The only time I caught Covid was during the Euros in '21 actually.

One of our locals has erected a huge marquee with a massive tv and are doing table service, perhaps to try and combat this.

I thought the final score was 4-2 and not 3-2.
If so, it was a goal.

Sepp Blatter has admitted the decision to award the World Cup to Qatar when he was FIFA president was a "mistake".
We have a customer in Dubai who covers the UAE, Saudi etc. He was saying there are not enough hotels in Qatar and so many fans will be staying in neighbouring countries and they will be running shuttle flights like buses to get fans in for matches . Apparently it is 32°C at the moment but with no humidity. He expects it to be mid 20's by the time the tournament starts.

I find it absolutely bonkers that we're less than 2 weeks out from a world Cup, there is still a round of premier league games to go, and the squad hasn't even been picked nevermind out in training camps or acclimatising.
