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 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.

And Trump doing the Uncle Knobhead dance to YMCA

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.

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!!

Not too bad a group for England. Scotland are probably delighted to be playing Brazil.

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
