The sea level will rise as they lean over the liner rail crying their eyes out.

It's time to consider an exit from FIFA and the establishment of a new incorruptible organisation.
Create an offshoot of the International Olympic Committee and run international football the same way as the Olympics.

I've yet to come across a self-policing body offering an event worth billions of pounds that can't be bent like a pretzel.

England's coming home. Glad I haven't watched this world cup. I didn't watch it either. OK I'm not exactly a footy fan, but this is the first time in my life I havent watched a single match in the world cup. |

In footballing terms it is the best World Cup in years. Possibly, I think all the political gesturing with rainbow armbands and kneeling for BLM was the final straw for me. I'm not interested in semi-literate millionaire prima donnas, or the football authorities for that matter, preaching their left wing virtue signalling nonsense. So I choose not to watch. |

Fighting injustice and discrimination is only a left wing pursuit is it? I thought you were a champion of majority wishes. There was almost universal support for protesting Qatar's persecution of gays. |
