    The whole thing is a complete farce. FIFA seem to be doing their utmost to devalue their own competition, whilst wreaking havoc to domestic schedules around the world in the process.

    I truly don't give a **** if we don't qualify. For the first time ever.

    Domestic competitions should carry on regardless. There's no mid season break for the African Cup of Nations. The World Cup has no more status in my mind.

    If you're a club blessed with a surfeit of foreign internationals then you must be rich and successful with vast resources so it won't make much difference if you lose a few players for a few weeks mid season.

    The FA should give FIFA the stiff middle finger, but they won't of course.
