Not sure if this has been brought up on here. But these two articles have got my back up this morning. Platini criticising the Ukraine hoteliers for putting up their prices and a football union chief raising concerns that there may be racism issues with Ukraine/Polish supporters and that visiting supporters may struggle to get around the place, especially as most locals only speak their mother tongue. Well, no shit sherlock. I think every man and his dog knew this when UEFA awarded the tournament to these countries. I know there are always scare stories pre-tournaments but I do wonder if UEFA have bitten off more than they can chew with this one. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-17688052http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17734861Roll on the 24 team France 2016! |

Why, is he driving the team bus? After all, living in East Anglia he can probably speak Polish |

I have been criticising the decision to award this tournament to Poland and Ukraine since Scotland played in Kiev a few years back. Bunch of crooks, hoolies and racist nut jobs. Expect more of the same for Russia 2018. Thanks very much Uefa and Fifa. |

Any country hosting any sporting even would and do do this, so its hardly a shock
and a football union chief raising concerns that there may be racism issues with Ukraine/Polish supporters
Not may be, there WILL be issues with racism, Its still a very large issue with eastern europe
and that visiting supporters may struggle to get around the place, especially as most locals only speak their mother tongue.
Tough shit, its not every countries obligation to learn English is it? Maybe im being bias because i speak polish but still :-)

Along the lines of... "It is going to be far too hot in Qatar and it will only be a matter of time before players and/or fans are hospitalised"? or "If only Qatar had spent money on air conditioned stadia, instead of bribing FIFA officials, the heat wouldnt be a problem"? |

Hopefully it'll be more like, "if only Sepp had died sooner, we wouldn't be making excuses for the shit he did as greedy corrupt old cunt." |
