Would you want to host a full major tournament in the UK

I think we are discussing fans behaviour Jack- not corporate corruption.

I'm not sure what I found most sickening - yobs on sniff booting the stadium doors down or Johnson, Tom Cruise, sundry corporate scum and 2000 UEFA delegates already inside with their snouts in the trough.
 
Watching the cricket everyone's had a few, lots of singing, fans mixing together no agro, no surprise

Firstly I’ll say I lived in Italy for a while and experienced plenty of terrible behaviour from fans there, having attended Serie A games in a few places , and I know it goes on in all countries but it seems we take it to another level. Seems like a lot of decent people had a bad experience at Wembley yesterday due to the behaviour of other “fans”, then you had large amounts of people storming past security, fighting, carnage in the streets.

I always wanted to see a World Cup here but now I just think we would utterly embarrass ourselves on the biggest scale possible. It’s a shame because it is a minority spoiling it for mostly decent people, but they do a hell of a job of it. We have every other country beat hands down in embarrassing and vile fans when it comes to behaviour, and that takes some doing considering how bad other places can be.

It’s only football fans too. London 2012 was brilliant, great mood all round. I think we would spoil a World Cup though.

I think a World Cup hosted by the UK would be brilliant. Doyles online would spoil it and the tabloids too.
 
I don't doubt there is corruption in FIFA and UEFA.
However, assuming they are corrupt, the last couple of weeks has handed them perfect excuses not to consider England.
If they're not corrupt, we've given them plenty of reason to look elsewhere.

Got to get our own house in order before we criticise others.

How are we getting our own house in order? Banning Twitter? Providing more urinals? Get rid of our racist prime minister?

Until we lost the semis and all hell broke loose.

I was at the other semi-final that day and sat with fans from different countries - no issues. I also attended the three group games at Elland Road, no issues, a quarter-final at Anfield and in the same end as the Dutch, with plenty of other English fans singing England songs - no trouble other than a Scouser getting his face slapped when he tried to pinch a Dutch fans hat. The final was a brilliant affair, English fans mixed with Germans before, during, and after the match.

We put on a great show that year and proved to everyone that English fans can behave.

I was at Wembley for every England Euro 96 match. There was a great atmosphere and we held a great tournament.
Am sick of the disaster commentaries completely over reacting to the minority

Has anyone played theme park or the sims?

Not enough tickets
Not enough screens
Not enough venues
Not enough toilets

Don’t moan when everywhere is 18+ and sold out for £200 a go.. and you don’t put enough bogs or bins or toilets out. URGH they’re puss in near the one set of toilets they have access to and their cans are falling out of the two bins we put out.

Players getting abuse after a tournament is nothing new, Beckham had an effigy hung and set fire to! I’m glad people are recognising that racism exists.. hopefully folks will recognise our prime minister is racist and a few nutters on Twitter (who should be from anywhere in the word) are not all English football fans.

As long as it leads to them painting the tranny red then i'm in massive favour.

As long as i don't have to organise it.
