World Cup 2026

[Milzy]

Nobody, other than the people who made racist comments (not posters on here I'd hasten to add), did any such thing.

Total bollocks, and you know it.

Unless, perhaps, you think football doesn't have a problem with racism? And if you believe that, you'll believe anything.

I think the so called beautiful game is a very ugly game. Bread and circus for the masses willing to cause violence in the streets but would never fight politicly for their own human rights.
Even the TDF has more & more despicable fans now. I’d put football and its racism problem in room 101.

Agreed, although I'd bin the racist element and corrupt FAs, but not the game.

And the main beneficiary is the brother of Trumps son in law.
FFS. It’s just so transparently corrupt.

Completely wrong and so sad.
However, it is just a natural progression. Top tier football sold its soul to business decades ago. I'd like to see it eat itself.

Might be something else Burnham might be able to tap into, given his credentials as a bona fide football fan.

The laugh wasn't for you, it was for Burnham's quote. Football has belonged to investors for as long as I can remember.
