    From a purely football point of view at this stage I cannot muster any interest at all ,but having said that I will no doubt end up watching some of it & might even enjoy it ,but to be totally honest I much prefer watching league football to international football , I find it mainly pedestrian bordering on boring however the patriotic side of me always wants England to do well but if they are poor & fail miserably it doesn"t bother me one bit . I actually think my apathy towards the competition is because of when it is being played not where it is being played , it is going to disrupt the league programme like never before & to me the world cup in the summer is when it should be played .

    No issues with your thoughts on Qatar ‘22.

    Just wondered why it would be “just like England” to win a tournament that leaves a bad taste/isn’t exciting/isn’t regarded as valid? Where’s the precedent for this? Hence “was ‘66 a snoozefest?”

    Really good to see Leah Williamson's comments re World Cup compared to Gary Neville prostituting himself on behalf of Qatari broadcasting.

    Done well for himself since being a Sky Sports reporter. It's a shame he probably felt pressured to come out to try and show Qatar in a better light by him just being there.
