Now in next few days European fever is going to start so what and who is going to start with this I am waiting information about teams and players here on this thread
Shouldn't this thread be locked down and someone can create new threads on upcoming tournaments. Just suggesting as this thread doesn't make much sense now as the tournament is already finished almost a month ago.
It depends there is still the FIFA Under 20 World Cup and this thread seems to have more traction that the general football discussion thread does
Then their is the economic and political analysis of the World Cup that we can all scrutinize later so their are some points of utility still.
What will the stadiums be used for, what happened to those people who were kicked out of their favellas, did they make a profit all the knitty gritty stuff after a tournament ends.
Speaking of the political ramifications
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-28508509World Cup should not be held in Russia, Nick Clegg says
Russia should lose the right to host the 2018 World Cup as part of tougher sanctions following the plane crash in eastern Ukraine, Nick Clegg has said.
The UK deputy prime minister told the Sunday Times it was "unthinkable" that Russia should host the football event.
Pro-Russian separatist rebels have been accused of shooting down the Malaysia Airlines jet. Russia has suggested it could have been the Ukraine military.
World football governing body Fifa has rejected calls to change the 2018 host.
Responding after some German politicians also called for Russia to be boycotted, Fifa said the 2018 tournament could be a "force for good".
So it looks like more attempts to do a moscow boycott like the Olympics during the cold war
