The fact England hasn’t been selected to stage the World Cup since 1966 is (literally) criminal.
There is not a country on the planet that has a higher volume, value, quality and concentration of World class stadiums, grounds, training facilities, infrastructure, diverse community, culture, history, hospitality and overall fan fever pitch to host the World’s beautiful game.
Due to the FIFA continental host rules we probably can’t expect earlier than a 2042 window. If that’s the case we should go ALL IN for 2042.

Jesus wept, I’ll be 67. Guess the best things come to those who wait 😬😬😬
@LickshotLippy The play this is based on is 100x better than the TV version. It was recorded and streamed in cinemas so it’s definitely on your dodgy box somewhere. Would recommend it far more than the series adaptation.
@Diocletian212 Personally don’t mind MKM, huge local company and anything not gambling affiliated is good with me. Think the stadium and signage all just needs an overhaul anyway tbf
@Markysix Literally why I struggle to watch any big games in pubs these days (finals / internationals etc) - just full of people not actually interested or coked up yobs, LITERALLY EVERYWHERE

If you can't sit through a 110 minute film without bringing an actual feast with you and chomping loudly, just fuck off. Not what the cinema is for you Fat Pig
I still think about the Oasis reunion shows like 5 times a day. Remember when they walked out holding hands and then played the greatest rock n roll shows ever? Over and over again? That was awesome.
The thing about these kinds of Gen AI use cases is that the BBC could have easily made this video before these tools existed - you could do it with actors in makeup, you could do it with traditional VFX.
The fact that you're only doing it now means you only thought it was worth doing once the cost was essentially zero. That is to say, the content's existence has become a tacit acknowledgement of its own worthlessness.
@SkintDad Not much materially, however, the raised profile is money can’t buy on the UK’s biggest cultural global export. Although we wasn’t in it for the duration, I think the raised profile helped Hull during the city of culture year. Does lots for civic pride and also feel good factor.
For me, Hull City represents the meeting of a remarkable city and a wonderful country that welcomed me warmly from the very first day I arrived in Hull.
Today, Hull City is a club followed and supported by millions of Turkish fans, and this is a great source of pride for me. I will continue to support and strengthen this special bond as much as I can. @hullcity #HullCity #hcafc #theTigers
Hull’a geldiğim ilk günden beri beni harika bir şekilde karşılayan, çok güzel bir ülke ile çok güzel bir şehrin buluşmasıdır Hull City benim için. Hull City artık milyonlarca Türk taraftarı olan bir takım ve bu çok gururlandırıyor. Elimden geldiğince bu güzel birlikteliğe destek vermeye devam edeceğim.
