The CWC is always in Japan. Same time zone as Eastern Auatralia so I'm not complaining.

those Japanese lot care more about Pokemon than football. why bother going all the way there? they could play the CWC in a more attractive location

edit: no offense to any Japanese member on the forum(if there are any) i am pissed about chelsea going half way across the world than anything else

You're just generalizing things there. There will be Japanese Chelsea fans there watching us and this is also a chance for the Chelsea fans from other Asian countries to travel there and watch us play.

true but no sense in playing CWC in just 1 location every year. i think the game can be globalised if the venue keeps shifting. maybe Tokyo-Sydney-Sao Paolo-Paris

The J-League is pretty popular over there. Second only to baseball.

Pokemon is bigger than Jesus.

I imagine its an immensely hard thing to organise. It would be kept in Japan for simplicities sake. It's on the middle of the European season, end of South America, middle of Australian, etc. it's just too hard to move around annually.

In Sydney for instance where would they play? There's only a few stadiums there and only one that's worthwhile and then they clash with the two Sydney clubs.

a 1-off affair like the Super Cup. possible to host in Monaco but the stadium is only 18k in capacity and i have weird memories of a long-haired Colombian raping our defence there

but surely there are few other possible venues. it will globalise the game if the venue keeps moving and gives people of different countries a chance to watch the world's best. South Africa - good facilities, Brazil, Australia, USA are possible venues.

It's not ALWAYS in Japan.

The CWC was held in the United Arab Emirates for 2009 and 2010 editions....and according to FIFA's website, Morocco will be hosting the 2013 & 2014 editions.

Arsenal tottenham should be goals galore, would be a great start to the week with a draw there...

[Shogun 721]

Bale most effective winger in the league according to sky. Meh.

[BOSS 372]

Anyone else here wants a draw or an Arsenal win?

DRAW only... Tottenham win is anoying but i know a lot of arsenal fans and if they win they can be annoying as well lol. Having said that i have got some money on tot winnning on the DNB because they were 7/4 which i think is pretty good considering; but i would still rather it be a draw.

[petr.breu 1,618]

Spurs are wearing black and white. It's their tribute to the color of television when they last won the league.

[Hutcho 8,443]

Thats why we need someone like defoe for that sort of move right there.

[Ryan Fong 2,776]

Arsenal's defense is a joke.
