11 years to go and I'm already bored with it. Do we really need every non event about football and muttering managers comments on the news?. Isn't that what Five live is for?.
A few months back a car was stolen from a petrol forecourt after the driver left the keys in it while going to pay. I expect this happens every day. But, because the driver was Ryan Giggs dad it was on the news!.
If you enjoy football, have fun. But please don't force every tedius detail onto the rest of us.

Edit. Sorry, title should say 2022 world cup. Shows how interested I am in football!

    What on earth are you on about????
    One day some company will do what they say they will do and charge a fair charge.:T

    Not doing the opposite of that which they promise and charge you a fortune for the privileged. :(

    Or maybe not:mad:

    I believe he is annoyed about the 2022 story about the World Cup being played in Jan, although personally I don't like the idea I do agree with the OP that its far too early to be worrying about it. Frankly there are very few current players who will be playing in 2012 so it really is a none story

    Now that will be interesting:D Unless they change the four yearly cycle, there will competitions in 2042 & 2046 but nothing in 2044. You could have a VERY long wait:D

    (Sorry, couldn't resist this ;))

    Bosseyed is logically just following OP's 2012 rant...so 2044 is erroneously correct!
