    2030 World Cup

    https://www.theguardian.com/football...2030-world-cup


    FIFA have had talks over a Scotland/England/Ireland/Wales tournament

    Nae chance of it coming to Aberdeen as we will still be waiting to find out where the money is coming from for the new stadium

    Do they actually play WC matches in small 20k stadiums?

    Judging by the attendance at the Egypt Uruguay game they would be better packing out a 20k stadium rather than having so many empty seats. Mind you if they charged a decent price rather than a small fortune that would have the same effect!

    Opening it up to 48 teams and having to host it across 3 countries is just getting stupid. There's still just half a dozen teams capable of winning it. No doubt it's fifa wanting to maximise the money they make out of it.

    Even then, Scotland will still fail to qualify...

    Surely this thread will get even more posts than the Sevco thread. 12 years to go. My guess is 11,382 posts.

    ...
    Exactly, it just means even more teams to get pumped. Look at Saudi. Pretty much always gash. They will now always qualify as they are the best of a bad bunch and then teams sh@ter than them, for example Iraq or Qatar(without bribing their way in) or Yemen or some dross will be appearing at the Masonic Milne Dome or Hampden or wherever to get slaughtered by Croatia or Mexico. God/Allah knows what a Brazil or Germany do
