Always fought it was weird and very :mjpls: that this wasn't held in the summer. Summer 2019 looking lit af.

I thought the reason it wasn't held in summer was because of local monsoon seasons. Wasn't it mainly changed to stop big European clubs from bytching every winter?

Stamford Bridge is the only decent club stadium with any historical significance left in London.

:ufdup:

Every other gaff is either an upmarket housing estate or Tesco car park.

Craven Cottage looks a lot better

Palace's stadium is more live

The only thing your can brag on is just the area. No nothing stadium filled with some of trashiest folks in that city

With the tournament expanding, you'll get a better TV audience in the summer then in Jan-Feb.

Also moving it to the summer, it should cause less mistrust between the Players, National FA's and Clubs. With it now being in the summer, NO ONE has any excuses.

Take the Matip situation, where he hadn't played for about 18 months, decided to retire and Cameroon FA still called him up and got him banned from playing for Liverpool. :mjlol:
