Popular Post Purdey Posted November 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 23, 2022 Many Laotians want a flutter on the matches too? After all the whole football thing is about gambling isn't it? Poor righteous Qataris wanted to host the cup in their Muslim state and then realized alcohol is important to fans. Now gambling.

Popular Post tonypattaya Posted November 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 24, 2022 It is time for various football associations to leave FIFA and form a new world body. How can it be fair, one country one vote, which means a banana republic in Africa of, say, 2 million people, having the same say as England, France, US, etc. There has to be a different system.

KhaoYai Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 They can huff and puff all the want - they can't actually cut any progamming, not without facing some pretty big lawsuits. If they did, they'd be in breach of contract to all the sponsors that have paid millions to have their names splashed all over the pitches etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
