You'll probably find it's the vote for the 2026 venue - I believe Australia, in a fit of pique, are wanting to host it in their Antarctica dependency in the middle of winter.

No it is either going to be Canada, Mexico or (gulps Columbia.

Having seen these farrago's before I suspect I'll wait till the outcome comes on line.

Doubtless there'll be a "group of death" and an "easy" group. We will be drawn against at least one giant and a "minnow".

Clever bit of positioning from Woy

Doesn't matter who we get, it's at what temperature the game is played.

Until we get Spain at 20 degrees C, of course!

The World Cup draw gives me a headache with all the pots and teams which aren't allowed to play in certain groups. So I will just read about it in the morning.

Heh Heh, Coverage lasts well over two hours!!!

... &, apparently, Platini has been meddling with the system to help France's situation in the draw.

Big surprise that is.

He's as bent as Blatter. God help us if he replaces him when Blatter finally has his fingers prised off the door jamb.

When summarised, this is why I no longer bother watching the draw. Its more complicated than quantum physics.

I don't even bother watching the football these days. That's just as tedious as the fix draw.

Why does Hodgson have to be in Brazil for the draw? Why can't he watch it on tele like the rest of us. I wouldn't mind if he were over there on his holidays and he'd paid for the ticket himself. But somehow, in some manner, I've fecking paid for him to jolly off to a beach in Brazil.

Yeh, that too.

Have we paid for him to go?

The FA will have, and who pays the FA? Ultimately us. (tenuous but highly emotional link between my wallet and Roy on an exotic distant beach)

One can only hope he's checking out the hotel and training pitch and other such actually useful things while he's over there...

Of course.

Every option will have hotels pre-planned and the moment he knows where we'll be playing he'll be off to the hotel, with his Nectar points and Daz box-tops getting the best possible deals.

They were out in June playing a friendly.
He and his team ( - backroom team not player team) were out there again in October. He discovered in November that his preferred choice of Ipanema Beach (the cheeky fecker) had gone to someone else and the team hotel would be in Rio (his second choice, it being the same hotel they'd stayed in for the friendly) - so they've already checked that stuff out. Won't stop em checking out the beach again no doubt though.

Spain and the Netherlands We are rubbish enough as it is, this is going to be rough...
