We will mate.
Might support Cape Verde at the World Cup.
Whilst we await, following much hype, England's inevitable failure.

Didn't realise they hadn't qualified for a World Cup since 2014!

It's the hype that kills you.

Had a smidge of sympathy for JDS but have to say find it very funny the Welsh got knocked out last night, I enjoy seeing them lose than Scotland these days

At least their families will be happy - Holidaying with Dad in Rhyl and Llandudno again this summer.

Better to be there and fail then it is to not be there at all.

Going to spoil a great football tournament for the fans.

I was flicking between the games last night and from what I saw Italy looked very ordinary and there for the taking, there was a result waiting for a side with a little bit more quality than NI in that game
I reckon Wales would have give them a mighty test in Cardiff and will not be surprised to see Bosnia turn them over

Is that the one where they did the test event this week? Made the CBS train service look state of the art from what I saw on twitter.

To be fair, if they fail to qualify for anything in the next thirty years they will still be streets ahead of England in Tournament wins.Italy

Italy have not played a World Cup knockout match since the 2006 final - a crazy stat

Hopefully it will make them wake up to reforms especially surrounding stadia

There's an article on BBC sport website that says a return train ticket from central Boston to the stadium which normally costs £13 will be £60 during the WC

People should just boycott it. Seriously, you could book a luxury all inclusive holiday for 2-3 weeks than a long weekend in NY for the final weekend.
I’m probably going to go ahead and cancel my flight that I’ve booked for the final weekend - pre-rip off price announcements. Like many others, I’d planned to go out for most of the tournament but it’s just not affordable.

Genuinely think I’ll barely watch this outside of the England games. Format seems so shit with too many fodder teams.

They should have gone up to 64 teams straight away.
Group stage is pointless now.

I totally agree but you just know the thousands of unsold seats will be available on the day at knockdown price to locals.

That’s the one reason I’ve not cancelled the flight. I’ve got mates out there who qualified for $60 tickets so will bunk with them if we get there and there’s a chance of a ticket.
The flight is booked and if I can’t rearrange, it costs £100 to cancel. Worth the risk.
Did I read something about they're getting booted out of the 32 bid or withdrawn from the process?

Euro 2032? Basically the UEFA president said that Turkey is able to host it on their own if Italys infrastructure is not ready/up to scratch.

Italy could host a quality tournament tomorrow.
The issue is upgrading stadiums to category A which mean UEFA can milk corporate cash. Most stadiums are owned by municipalities and take an age to upgrade.
I think it’s a stern “get your arse in gear”.
why it’s being split between two non neighbouring countries in the first place is beyond me though.
