Couldn't find a thread so figured I'd start one. After the absolute shambles of a draw, highlights including Trump being given a made up peace prize, the people doing the draw having no clue how to pronounce the countries they'd drawn and for unknown reasons a performance by the Village People it just keeps getting better.

Prior to the draw a pride game was scheduled for Seattle, the teams drawn for that game Egypt and Iran. Of course they are both countries with fantastic track records when it come to LGBTQIA+ issues.

And now it seems all games, rather than those hitting a temperature threshold, will feature TV time outs for adverts hydration breaks. The fact this was announced after meetings with broadcasters clearly just a coincidence.

It really is a shambles and just sums up FIFA...all about the money.

That's why we, N.Ireland, are likely to boycott the WC next year .

We'll put the bins out for the rest of you immoral so and so's!

Final is having a Superbowl style halftime show. Slight problem here is that to facilitate that the Superbowl has a 30 minute break.

Not sure players will be too happy with an extended halftime for this nonsense.

Kick off times are pretty grim. Doubt I’ll watch many of the games this time around.

Is there actually a 30 min break for HT in the final?!

Just seen that Coldplay are having a hand in the HT show...hopefully not performing.
