I am half joking but they changed it from summer to winter because they realised after awarding it to Qatar that you can't actually play football in the desert in summer so the bid should be void, it's going to disrupt about three seasons of football. I don't think anyone other than Qataris, FIFA and Neymar thinks it should go ahead.

You're probably right but the politics might make moving the cup pretty interesting at the very least.

You didn't think England would beat a team like Croatia who didn't deserve to be there? You couldn't taste England v. France?

No I've seen England go out of tournaments to Romania and Iceland before.

I come and go so I'm not very familiar with people here anymore but you have some sort of connection to Croatia or Croatians?

I see. So your comments related to the championship and Croatia's games were just... totally unconnected to anything?

Interesting.
