Popular Post Bert got kinky Posted July 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 6, 2022 Are they kidding? Thailand hosting a world cup. They don't have enough bribe money and their human rights record is far too clean. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RichardColeman Posted July 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 6, 2022 I'm guessing they still think Sepp Blatter is in charge and they can bribe someone. They have about as much chance of getting it as me of winning miss Nigerian under 18 prom queen. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laughing Gravy Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Again another pipe dream. How many football stadiums are there in Thailand that match FIFA's standards. Yes they can build some more but that will take a lot of investment. Maybe the TAT can get involved and give us some more of their amazing 'hopium' with predicted numbers and revenue earned.

mikebell Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Thailand could not organise a Booze-up in a brewery. They would overlay every level with so much bureaucracy each phase would be unworkable. Couldn't see Ronaldo waiting in line at Immigration. (If he's still playing in 2026.) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to read this twice, the first time I thought you wanted to win the miss and bring her home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanuman2547 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 For many reasons, I don't think Thailand will be successful in winning the bid to host the World Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
statman78 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Based on the comments it looks like people did not read the full article. Thailand alone would not be hosting the World Cup. Other ASEAN nations would also participate. Much like what will happen when Canada, the US and Mexico jointly host the World Cup. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
