    They **** every WC up to suit Europe.

    They had a bloodbath TV ratings for 2002

    Don't matter that the sponsors $$ from Asia and the numbers in this timezone being superior

    The poor European have to have a WC in their prime time

    It remains to be seen if that changes

    In the long term, I fail to see how there is any accuracy in this statement.

    Keep the Petrol states playing one another.

    Asia Pacific for the rest
    I've always said that the AFC should be split into 3 subsections - West Asia, East Asia, Oceania (with Oceania's half or in future full spot being brought into AFC). Each subsection has their own internal playoffs or whatnot, and the best 2 from Oceania (Australia would be back in Oceania), best 5 (?) from West Asia & best 5 (?) from East Asia heading into the 2 group system like we currently have, with the top 2 from each group qualifying and the 3rds playoff and the winner qualifies (this was under the assumption we could use Oceania's half spot). It's always made so much sense to me.
    OK

    I can't see Africa ever hosting again unless it's a joint bid.

    I thought it was a troll and their facebook had been hacked at first, then found out it was real. Feel sorry for the Juve fans more then anything

    They've actually relinquished all rights to the "Old Lady" nickname. Like, citizens arrest on that bitch.

    It is horrendous and it makes me sick.

    And yes, I realise the hypocrisy/irony involved.. all this coming from a fan of the most franchised modern football league in the world in the A-League ops:
    OK

    I mean all the traditional arguments aside what does it actually achieve changing the crest?
    Is there any correlation between doing this stuff and an increase in merchandising revenue?

    I know there's that tired old marketing scam where you mess with something traditional on purpose whilst planning to bring back the original later (hey Coke, 'sup Barbque shapes) and if that's the case then it's even sadder.

    I quite like it. Brings the the club into the modern era. Whys should'nt you change your logo every now and then. Just about every logo of every organisation has changed over the years. Just keep up with the times

    Yeah but why?
    That's my question.
    What benefit does it bring other than a few people going "yeah" or "nah".
    I'm genuinely intrigued if there is any real value in it.

    If people are talking about it then it has worked as a marketing tool. Simple.

    Everyone will be fine with it in 2 months.

    Creates a shitload of work for tattoo artists. Here anyway. Apart from that it just pisses people off.

    I love it. Even the biggest clubs I'm the world can make dumb moves too. 😁
