Thailand Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Having watched the awesome women's rugby world cup over the past few weeks don't think I will be too concerned not seeing grown men falling over at a breath of wind, especially in opposing penalty areas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, Not brought home the bacon in, what is it, 56 years or more. Useless bunch of over paid haircuts. the lot of them. England is Football, but look at them, how embarrassing they have all been over the years. and it don't look any different today.

I worked in Saudi for years and they are just as bad, but rarely a whisper from the oil consuming nations of the world. The only reason, IMO, that Qatar is getting it is because of the publicity due to the world cup. Isn't it funny the way people bang on about human rights abuses over that way, then jump in their cars and fill up with Gulf-sourced gasoline? Or benzene or petrol or whatever you want to call it ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Pmbkk Posted November 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 20, 2022 I've never known English people be less interested in a major football competition - esp' the World Cup - ever. I live in London and you usually see "White van man" with England flags flying everywhere, private cars with flags, pubs decked with flags in and outside. Massive supermarket beer promotions etc. The papers full of it from every angle. Barely anything - maybe the current mood of the nation. From a footballing/marketing perspective it's close to a non-entity compared to usual. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garrya Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 I used to love watching football but nowadays just don't care. I think Thailand can take the trophy this year ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieH Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Football ? Nope not my thing, would rather watch paint dry ! Quatar ! Wanted the exposure and publicity, got all the wrong sort of publicity and attention. Beckham got paid millions to be an Ambassador for the event and has taken stick ever since. 6500 people have died during the construction of this event etc (alledgedly) Thailand spent mutli millions to screen and wont allow venues to stay open to watch it ! Thats about all I know, or care to know ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Covid had a much larger impact than people realise on top league games. I used to watch all the games on TV, but the absence of fans on the terraces during covid made the games sterile. I now watch much less than I did before. If fans want to change the game - stay away for set dates agreed between fans. Clubs will realise without atmosphere they have nothing to sell and no amount of marketing / PR will compensate. No fans = No atmosphere = No Sponsorship/TV income, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DBath Posted November 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 20, 2022 I couldn’t care less about soccer. I like real sports like American football, basketball (especially March Madness) and occasionally baseball. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaibeachlovers Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Not only do I not care, but I'm annoyed because the Al Jazeera channel is all about the foootbal and hardly any news. I'm hoping it's over soon, but I have no idea when because I care so little about it I won't even look up that detail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garrya Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Well, I somehow missed the wonderful opener, Qatar - Ecuador. Will definitely save it on my computer to be able to watch it again and again. ???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photoguy21 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 Probably not. Would have been ok if the world class Thailand team was in it but not with the amateur teams that are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
