Think it's a charitable donation? Voluntary but not required.

Football foundation and I'm pretty sure they all give their wages to it.
They'll get plenty more from sponsorships deals and bonuses from things like advancing to later stages and dare I say "winning it" !

Fair enough, and that is to be commended.

England won't win it.

I reckon it'll be France or Portugal.

Watching Portugal now against Ghana,doubt they'll win it.There about 12/1 though if you care to take a punt.
Agree about France though.

Not a gambling person myself. Portugal looked a bit ruthless.

I'm in a small group sweepstake at work where we get four teams each. I've got Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿, Belgium, Brazil and Tunisia, so not a bad haul. Still hoping Brazil lose and Neymar gets scythed down by a big Serbian defender, tho.

Anyway, in the great Rainbow Bucket Hat contest, it's Laura McAllister 1 - 0 Repressive State Apparatus.

So they are getting paid then.

Still, I'm enjoying Jowwy's response to being wrong. You'd think, with so much practice, he'd get better at dealing with it.

As for respecting a countries beliefs I agree, if your own lifestyle isn't acceptable somewhere you should either comply or not go.

The flip side of this argument is that if you're not the sort of regime who can handle the cultural and social ramifications of the biggest International sporting event in the world, you could simply not attempt to host a 21st-century World Cup.
