There are going to be 48 teams anyway, so 6 auto qualifiers hardly matters. We might as well just have a 200 team tournament based in 50 countries at this point.
At this point it'd be easiest all round if they just play it in the foyer of the poshest hotel they can find. It's only really for the benefit of the execs. It can rotate between Saudi and the various Emirates until the oil runs out.
Next Euros to be split between Ocean Beach in Marbs and the Hyatt Azerbaijan.
QPR already 1-0 down. Unfortunately I fear we may be close to the end of GA's tenure - if the club can afford to sack anyone. He needs a win desperately.
I’m watching the Fred v Anis game (Anis on the bench of course) and they just had a minute’s applause for (I think) the wife of a former goalkeeper who has died just 27 years of age - the players all stopped playing and joined in the applause, and to his credit, so did the ref. Don’t think I’ve ever seen that before.
They have but he's only got one more point than Ainsworth on a much bigger budget, will only make it funnier when they explain why they had to sack him in a few weeks.

Oh, and the opening three matches are in South America despite the tournament actually being hosted by Spain, Portugal and Morocco 😂 https://twitter.com/David_Ornstein/status/1709580025266151741
FFS they really have lost the plot haven't they, after the BS that was Qatar not sure that anyhting they do surprises me any more
I hear the Faroe Islands, Andorra and Liechtenstein are now considering a joint bid for 2034.
Who misses out instead of Paraguay then? joke. Good to see the governing body doing their bit for the environment...
All because Paraguay is where CONMEBOL is based. By that logic, Switzerland, USA, Malaysia, Egypt and New Zealand should all qualify too,
Sad times. Where will it end?
Saudi

2034 World Cup to be hosted on the Moon

Ah, but can Argentina do it on a rainy Tuesday evening in Greenland?
Dubai doesn't have any oil so it can host it forever. Which would make a lot of footballers happy.

Yeah, Josh Vickers - Derby 'keeper https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-derbyshire-66910821
Sky have, of course, got a co-commentator who can’t pronounce Onyedinma.
And watching this I can see why Anis isn’t getting game time - this looks like a team that’s been told they’ll be fined if they show any flair.
Begovic just sent off and Dykes has gone into goal! Love an outfield player in goal.
can QPR now get an equaliser
QPR really are falling into a crisis, though I suppose 1-0 away to a team just down from the PL is not outrageous.
QPR have played 7 of the top 12 and 3 of the bottom 12 so far this season.
they should stick with him
The QPR commentator struggled to put the incident between Bamford and Begovic into words... https://twitter.com/SelekcijaBa/status/1709680570622439843
Gillingham sack Neil Harris after a three game losing streak, despite being up in 8th.
Watford must be due a new manager. The current one has had 10 games!
They've already extended his contract! Are Watford ok?
They have but he's only got one more point than Ainsworth on a much bigger budget, will only make it funnier when they explain why they had to sack him in a few weeks.
I think they have a healthy annual "compensation budget" so extension of contract probably irrelevant to them!
Luton forced down to nine men for 30 seconds because of this nonsense new injury law. What genius came up with that?
Bissouma sent off after a second yellow for a hilariously obvious dive right in front of the ref
Oxford have two players sent off against Rovers. Straight reds which should mean they are not available for our game later this month
Only one was a straight red, but it was for violent conduct, so that's a three-match ban.
Oxford are going to win this division, unfortunately.
