Yeah, we aren't as strong as 2016 (Ramsay and Bale haven't aged well...) but being there for the games will be fantastic. Who WOULDN'T want to be at Wales' first WC games in 64 years? :shrug:Quote:

It is a simple choice, and not going doesn't make you any less of a fan of course, but dredging up every single reason NOT to go is rather sad - just be happy for those who ARE going. We may not play in a WC for another 64 years......:shrug:
Yes quite :thumbup:Quote:

Fair enough good point, it could well be a once in a lifetime, I hope you all have a great time :thumbup:Quote:

May look to get to Wales a bit earlier and just isolate.
Coming across a bit "holier than thou" with your posts mate.Quote:

A few years back I spent a shit load travelling round Europe staying in grotty hostels, sleeping in train stations and getting hammered in dodgy bars. For the same price I could've flown over and stayed in a swanky hotel in New York for a week. I know loads would prefer that to what I did but for me it was worth the money. Just like for you going to the World Cup is worth it whereas for others it isn't.
I'm sure it'll be a brilliant experience for you and all who make the long journey, hopefully we put in a respectable performance on the big stage.
It sounds like a scene out of Withnail and I :biggrin:Quote:

I guess so...it's just highlights yet again the idiocy/corruption of FIFA.Quote:

Same here mate. You have to ask yourself, is it really with the hassle.Quote:

That seems to be the case.Quote:

Looks like the minimum sentence for Qatar might be 3 to 7 years given a quick google, not sure I'd risk that.
Is it now too late for the tournament to be moved to a more people friendly non corrupt place?
what do you think is the answer to this question chumQuote:

Funny that , it was the same with the vaccine passports for M.Ps in Parliament when the plebs had to show them :hehe: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics...-cummings-tax/Quote:
