Anyone going?
Not sure how anyone can go to this really. A very very uncomfortable World Cup for me and doesn’t feel right morally. Will obviously support the team and be ecstatic if we win, but the fact so many poor Indian and Nepalese migrants will have died for the privilege and gay people will have to be basically be in hiding because their very existence is illegal is an absolute disgrace in this day and age.
Corrupt FIFA officials should hang their head in shame - what a sad illustration of the state of affairs in the world in 2022

CanadaAnyone going?
Just out of curiosity, how much do you budget to spend on the whole thing?The wife, my mate, youngest and I have booked our flights. Going 17th November and returning on 20th December. However we’ll book an earlier return if we go out in or before the quarters.
We have applied for tickets for all 8 of our games and are guaranteed to get them due to our cap level but my youngest will only be 9 months old at that point so he hasn’t had a chance too build up any caps. You need a match ticket to be allowed into the country so will get him one for a random game if I can’t get him one for one of our games to ensure he gets a visa. If we don’t manage to get him tickets for our games we’ll be hoping that he doesn’t get asked for it at the turnstiles.
Once we get our tickets confirmed we are allowed to book accommodation. Early indications are that it’s not super cheap like the last few tournaments have been but isn’t anywhere near as much as most were fearing thankfully.
I’m really looking forward to it and fingers crossed we finally bring it home.
See you there then!Possibly, Semi & Final applied for as member but only if the team make it that far
2026, I do quite fancy that one!Canada
Going to be some tournament. Now that one will be expensive! 2030 looks interesting too. Likely to be November and December again which won’t suit some though.2026, I do quite fancy that one!

Hopefully the group games are in the same country not 1 in Mexico, 1 in USA and 1 in CanadaGoing to be some tournament. Now that one will be expensive! 2030 looks interesting too. Likely to be November and December again which won’t suit some though.
Everyone can stay at my place.2026, I do quite fancy that one!

Do you have to pay for Supporters membership AND build up points to get to games/tournaments like this?
I normally go to every World Cup but accommodation is going to be a major problem - basically there isn't enough. Can drive in 6 hours from Dubai which is a pain and those short flights (50 mins) are going to be expensive. Considering I live in Switzerland, which is mega expensive, Qatar is the most expensive place I've been in the world for booze - cheapest bottle of wine at dinner was about 90 quid, beers 10 quid plus. I think FIFA will do cheaper alcohol in fan zones, however. Can easily do 4 games a day as everything is so close.

Absolutely insane behaviour to take a 9 month old baby to a world cup finals. Properly unhinged. Weirder than raping an owl.
You’re taking a 9 month old baby to the World Cup with you?

Its all about the dollar I'm afraid looking after the fans will be well down their list of prioritiesThis is FIFA. I‘m fully expecting a team’s two group games to be In Seattle and Miami followed by a R16 game in Mexico City or Vancouver. That decision will probably come shortly after some executives purchase a large amount of shares in American Airlines.
Shame Australia never got it, I know its their winter but they have the infrastructure and stadiums already in place, one day hopefully as i think it would of been brilliant there rather than Qatar, The Australia FA lost millions (or billions) trying to host it but was rigged before the start, never had a chance
