No, they're pushing it back to November-December 2022 rather than pulling it forward into 2021.

I still cant get over the no bid TV deal on the 2026 WC for FOX/Telemundo....that is FIFA leaving something like $500 million on the table to instead do nothing.

It won't be an advantage, it will simply mean we won't be at a disadvantage as you could argue we have been when our top top players go to the world cup having played 40 / 50 games with no winter break like most european leagues have.

Except for the fact that Blatter & co. will declare the Qatar WC a rousing success despite the scores of deaths, terrorist activity, blatant bribery, and disruption of leagues around the world and will declare that the WC be held in the winter for the rest of his time in office (aka forever).

you're a mong.

Let's look at the european winners of the World Cup since 1990

Germany - Winter break
France - Winter break
Italy - Winter break
Spain - Winter break + dope cheats
Germany - Winter break

England is the only major european league that doesn't have a winter break and it's speculated that (apart from poo poo management and poo poo players) not having a winter break means the players are loving knackered come the World Cup.

So I fully support the winter world cup when English players will be in their prime.

No one's arguing that they're not poo poo, it's just that the lack of a winter break doesn't help.

They probably gave Fox a freebie because an autumn/winter world cup is gonna gently caress up Fox's coverage of the NFL.
