The Manaus groundsmen have 3 days to convert this mess into a football pitch for England vs Italy... please log in to view this image It's nowhere near good enough for a World Cup game.
Well that's going to be a fun match. ****ing atrocious pitch. The build up of these stadiums has been nothing but disaster, maybe next time that twat Blatter (hopefully out of a job by then) will pick somewhere where the stadia is already done.... *cough*England*cough*Spain/Portugal*cough*
South Africa wasn't that bad in terms of the facilities, it was just the football played that was ****. Russia isn't really a bad place to stage it stadium wise, it already has those set up, they just need updating and/or expanding. Qatar very likely won't keep the WC if everything keeps going as it is. Hopefully.
I think this sums up Sepp Blatter's time at FIFA quite well. [video=youtube;P1rRszEYKdM]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1rRszEYKdM[/video]
After hearing that Qatar got a world cup that will occur in summer,,, Antarctica has applied to get the 2030 world cup and wishes to hold it in winter.
So we'll be playing on a rutted, patchy, poorly mown council park of a pitch. In an equatorial climate. During the hottest and most humid part of the day. And their best player is a 35 year old whose trump card is his passing. Bring it on.
Would be a more sensible location than Qatar. Though I must let you know that the 2030 World Cup has already been scheduled to happen in Sepp Blatter's back garden.
That and much more John. 8 Brazilian workers have been killed working on various sites. The whole thing is a shambles sadly for Brazil.
Actually, that's a good point. If the pitch is utter dogshit, and we play Lambert, we might have an advantage.
