I am sure Redknob can convince Scholes to come in for the Euros. I mean, who wouldn´t want to play in a midfield with Parker, Gerrard and Lampard?

Nobody would play those four at the same time

Nah, you are right. I reckon Redknob sees this team:

Hart
Walker, King, Lescott, Cole
Lennon, Parker(C), Scholes, Gerrard
Milner/(Rooney after suspension)
Defoe

That team would challenge for the title this summer.

Challenge for what title?

The Euros of course Capi!

Saw this btw. Is this true? If so, do you guys think it will be an issue?

"England have already fucked up their Euros chances with their ridiculous travel arrangements.
They are based at Krakow. They have to travel 930 miles to Donetsk for first game, then 930 miles back to the hotel.
4 days later they have to play a game in Kiev 540 miles away and 540 back.
And for their final game it´s another 930 mile journey to Donetsk."

Naaah not a problem

Rex, sounds to me like you're describing 1 - 2 hour charter flights. It's the fans who will suffer if they have to take the bus. The team will be fine.

Blame the organisers. The Russian world cup is going to be even worse.

I am not describing anything. As I said - I just saw it online, asked if it was true, and whether anyone thought it would have an impact.

Think Redknob fancies Terry in his squad. He will be worried if King can last a whole tournament I think.

Capi, I think the Russian World Cup will be easy compared to the one in 2022...

Nah, Qatar is less than half the size of britain.

Kind of hot though in the summer isn´t it?

Doubt it will bother the fans too much.

"Hottest average temperatures in Qatar peak at around 41 Celsius in June and July. Of course, that doesn’t reflect what it is really like to be out in the sun in the middle of the day when temperatures can reach or pass 50 degrees Celsius.

It’s also worse in the city, where air-conditioners pump cold air into the houses but hot air into the city.

The towns are also located in the coastal areas, where there is greater humidity. Everyone who can leaves Qatar for the summer."

I think it will affect both players, the quality of the tournament AND the fans myself. Could be wrong though.

Aren't they planning on having fully enclosed stadiums with air con?

Have no idea.

A promise that they aren't going to delivery on.

The fans sitting in the stadiums will be fine though. The players are in the shit.

What about the "artificial clouds" they are going to place over every pitch?
