The World Cup includes the qualifiers. You qualify to play in the World Cup Finals. The "finals" were played in usa. The world cup was played all over the world.
Please feel free to show me where I am wrong.

The worst thing about being bitten by a venomous spider is that you're probably Australian.

Sounds more like scoffing at the idea than abusing you to me.

Re: 2022 World Cup to be played in winter
GMAE, you first seemed to be responding to the comment that Baggio was the best player at THAT TOURNAMENT, being the 1994 World Cup Finals tournament in Yankeeland.God is an Englishman wrote:You're both missing Paul Gascoigne - the rest just tried to play in his shadow.LFTWNG11 wrote: Pfft Roberto Baggio was easily the best player in that tournament.
20 years down the track if people are talking about that World Cup in 1994 they're not likely to be discussing American Samoa's qualification path or England's 2-0 loss to Norway in their failed qualification path. There's been plenty of talking and memories here though about that great World Cup Finals Tournament in 1994 (the poor 0-0 Final between Italy & Brazil not withstanding).
Re: 2022 World Cup to be played in winter
I definitely did not refer to World Cup qualifiers when I said "that tournament", blatantly obvious to almost everyone.Con M wrote:GMAE, you first seemed to be responding to the comment that Baggio was the best player at THAT TOURNAMENT, being the 1994 World Cup Finals tournament in Yankeeland.God is an Englishman wrote:You're both missing Paul Gascoigne - the rest just tried to play in his shadow.LFTWNG11 wrote: Pfft Roberto Baggio was easily the best player in that tournament.

As you said "that tournament", that includes qualification and the finals.
I'll dumb it down for all of you and give it a sport you convicts might understand.
The brownlow medalist is the best eligible player in the afl that season. It doesn't make a difference if that person played in the finals or not.

GMAE, you're getting tongue-tied.
Now back to the issue. Should 2022 disrupt northern leagues and be played in the northern winter?
Or should Platini rip it from Qatar's rich grasp and give it to another country?
The precedent was set when 1986 was wrenched away from Colombia and given to Mexico to successfully stage, 16 years after Mexico '70.
