Someone here a while back suggested a Roman Empire themed World Cup. I think that would be a pretty cool idea.

Play each group in a different province, then have the final in the Colosseum (or more realistically, the Olimpico).

Yeah for certain people going to a warzone will be far less dangerous than going to Saudi Arabia.

I'm not even joking.
That’s bonkers. Some people end up with a warped vision of places just by what they hear online or from others.

I’ve visited Saudi Arabia a number of times and it’s one of the very few places in the world I’ve visited where me and my family felt 100% safe and free to go anywhere. Likewise I’ve got friends who live in Qatar and they wouldn’t choose to live anywhere else in the world than there.

Yeah but I'm assuming you're not lgbt.

What I find crazy about the 2030 WC is that Mbappe will be coming to the end of his career ha. I wonder if they'll be a new wonderkid on the scene ready to take the football world by storm.
There always will be. In the grand scheme of things, there have been wonderkids more talented than Mbappe in the past. Going from Ronaldinho to Ronaldo and Messi to Mbappe and Haaland.

There's no doubt there's some kid that's 10 years old right now, that's playing in the streets ready to arrive in the scene like a hurricane in a few years time.

Portugal hosting in 2030?.... Ronaldo will only be the same age as Tom Brady is now.

Oh god. Make it happen, I love the fanboy stuff.

why not just have every single match be in a different city. No city can have 2 matches throughout the WC. Hold the final in antarctica in a dome. Expand the field and play a game on the international space station.

I actually think that would be a cracker. It's up against it in that it would usually count with the Conmebol and Concacaf votes, but not this time.

I want somebody somewhere to build a stadium that holds 200k fans. Would be cool.
Build it and hold it there.

My goodness come this World Cup, I'll be so old. :( Not sure if I still have the energy to travel for football tournaments. Damn I miss my youth. I think they should stop this nonsense of hosting in multiple countries and just do it in one, takes away the novelty and allure of the tournament. The Euro 2020 was a mess because of this.

Why not have a Russia/North Korea/Iran joint bid to rival the Ukraine/Spain/Portugal bid

I think if they are hosting an international competition they will give some leeway to those rules, didn't they also host a WWE event with very scantily clad women wrestlers as well?

What has Qatar said about LGBT people for this world cup?
