This is so cringey FIFA sucking up to Trump
-
Watching the chase, can't be doing with the draws.
-
I’ve stuck with it , I’m exhausted
-
Unbelievable how they finally got the corrupt Blatter out and replaced him with this character.
-
Biggest load of bollox I’ve seen in a long time.
-
I hope someone is keeping a keen eye on the trophy, otherwise he'll have it.
-
WTF is this shouty crap?
-
Wtf have they done to the draw for a football competition. I thought I was watching Eurovision for a mo.
-
The stuffed shirts of FIFA not exactly keen to get down with Lauren Hill.
-
There’s so much wrong with this World Cup. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many dyed in the wool England supporters already saying they won’t be going.
Ticket prices are off the scale. For me to follow England will cost somewhere between $4,700 and $12,000 if I can get Cat3 or Cat4 tickets.
-
A lot of Americans wondering who the f*** Rio is.
-
This is so cringe worthy it's very difficult to watch.
-
Just seen this tweet from Football Supporters Europe.
Let us be very clear: this baby's rattle is not awarded "on behalf of billions of fans around the world", as @FIFAcom claims. It’s nothing more than an ego-stroking stunt.
This is a deeply troubling day for football & FIFA.

I hope they brought earplugs and something to read so they didn't have to endure that bloody awful cacophony. I would have.
-
Please somebody, draw Croatia before we get stuck with them...
-
Oh shit.
-
Abolish America.
-
Doesn’t matter who we have in our group. If we are supposed to be serious contenders then it doesn’t matter who’s in our group.
Will we be overhyped as normal

It should have been a straight jacket they gave him instead of medal !!
-
Not too bad a group for England. Scotland are probably delighted to be playing Brazil.
-
What a third-rate Disney World this has become.

It's just mind-boggling.. I'm sure they'll be plenty of Scots thumbing a lift from May.
I still don't understand how the second stage is going to work but hey ho, the task is simple. Win every game!!
-
Crikey that was a tough watch. A cheese fest, and a confusing draw process to say the least.
-
And Trump doing the Uncle Knobhead dance to YMCA

I only saw the beginning of the draw on BBC News but the notion of FIFA awarding their own Peace Award to Donald Trump is sickening.
Who gave them the mandate to do this? Who nominated? Who voted?
FIFA is supposed to be a non-political organisation.
You’re right Martin, a deeply troubling day for football. But after awarding the World Cup to Qatar, I guess the die was cast.
This is a horrible spectacle.
-
Wouldn't go anywhere near it and won't be watching. A complete farce topped off with the tangerine surfacing for accolades... I don't understand why regular yanks have stopped taking pot shots at him..
-
Tango man. Everyone has just been tango’d
-

To be fair, England haven’t been overhyped since the golden era mess. Southgate did a superb job on the press and got the England lads likeable again. Since then it’s been much calmer on the expectation front.
-
I have a friend who is a retired Pro referee.He says we should expect some very Trump-influenced decisions throughout and it has already started at the draw.
-
Not a bad group, but then there aren't really any groups of death this year. Another great thing about the world cup killed off by this crap expanded format.
-
Infantino is an idiot. His decision to postpone Ronaldo’s two match ban so he can play in the WC is a shocking disgrace. This man believes in his own hype.
If you listened to his initial introduction he talked about how he has been present at all the truce signing process’s that Trump has been involved in. He does believe that football has a major influence on world peace!!
-
He's the typical functionary who has to believe himself important to give his life meaning. The reality, of course, is that he looks, and acts, a clown. Hobnobbing with other clowns gives every one of 'em the opportunity to reinforce their ego again.
In the vernacular, he's a fatuous and conceited pillock. I never thought I'd say it, but bring back Havelange.

As far as who we could have got. Pot 2 and 4 we've drawn the best teams from those pots.
I've seen tickets are $45 for England members which is decent.
-
One thing for certain, if trump has anal polyps, infantino will have found them. Had to switch it off, too cringey and corrupt. USA for world champions anyone? It’s obvious FIFA will do anything to make it happen, maybe trump reffing USA games? F*ck*ng vomit making and an embarrassment to world football - or should I say, SOCCER!!! :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick:

You’ve seen wrong then. There’s not a single ticket for sale at that price .

Fifa has been desperate to properly crack America for ages. Infantino is just the latest suit to try. Hence why they've tailored the world cup to Trump's America. More teams, more content, more crap teams for everyone else to smash goals past, more money made... everything done to excess so they can say it was the biggest and best world cup ever with the most goals to milk the lucrative American market.
