BBC have done a guide to the stadiums.... one of them has seats that are situated outside the main bulk of the stadium as they needed to get the capacity over 35,000
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41586162
quite a few of them have been built for this world cup. just seen that morocco are in the bidding to host the 2026 world cup. they will have to build 9 of the 14 stadiums from scratch.
off the top of my head we could host the world cup without having to increase any of the stadiums capacity (not so sure of other regulations needed but they have to be all seated with at least 35,000 capacity) if we're running short of English football grounds we got Cardiff and Twickenham as back up.

He missed tuesdays team meal/meeting.SELR_addicks said:
So didn't miss anything. He missed a sleep.MrOneLung said:
He was expected back Tuesday evening but turned up Wednesday morning as he made a mistake re his flight times.SELR_addicks said:Another day, another story about Sterling.
This time he was 'late' to meet the squad even though he was given an extended break by Southgate.
So he was actually late.
Southgate said he has spoken to him and it is done and dusted.

That looks safe. I wouldn't fancy being in the back row, particularly if I was being attacked by opposing fans.MrOneLung said:0 -

That stadium..... Beyond ridiculous.1

More on that abysmal stadium here. Fuck being in the back rows, and it'll be even worse if it's pissing down.

Disappointing FIFA official TV opening to this world cup.

I was impressed with the one for Brazil 2014.
Catchy and well made.

MasterCard have had an absolute shocker here;

Terrible idea and amazed it actually got approved.
Mastercard obviously have the money to give the meals away so why not just give the meals anyway? Nope instead we're relying on 2 players (one who's been injured for 3 months) to have a good world cup in order for them to get food.
A keeper saving chances from them is basically denying starving kids some food.
Awful idea.3 -

Germany losing 2-1 to Austria0

Austria currently beating Germany 2-1. Two fantastic goals from Austria and deserved.0

Watched after it went 2-1. Germans throwing on the big guns to try to save a draw but offered nothing. Looked very ordinary. Didn't fancy them before, even less so now.0

They always always always turn up at big tournaments tho.Callumcafc said:Watched after it went 2-1. Germans throwing on the big guns to try to save a draw but offered nothing. Looked very ordinary. Didn't fancy them before, even less so now.

Germany are notoriously poor in friendlies.Callumcafc said:Watched after it went 2-1. Germans throwing on the big guns to try to save a draw but offered nothing. Looked very ordinary. Didn't fancy them before, even less so now.
In their last 21 friendlies, they've won 6.
Means absolutely nothing, as they will of course be there or thereabouts come the latter stages of the world cup.2 -
Just watched return to Turin Italia 90 on the History channel. Absolutely brilliant.1

Kompany came off injured for Belgium yesterday. Requires a scan on his groin to see whether he can take part in this World Cup. Got to feel sorry for him as he is a class defender but is made of glass. Could be a good thing for England personally if he doesn't make it.2

Might actually be a blessing in disguise. Instead of trying to shoehorn 3 centre backs into the lineup, Martinez could just revert to playing the Spurs pair of Vertonghen and AlderweireldSage said:Kompany came off injured for Belgium yesterday.
