It's always a wet dream of these organisations to get North Korea involved in any bids involving South Korea.

The altitude could be an issue for some teams in Mexico City too. Miami will be an experience at that time of year, I think that's wet season isn't it?
Mexico City is no La Paz. Though I suspect anyone playing there who might not be used to playing at altitude might want to play a pre-WC friendly to acclimatise.
Miami will be hot and wet. Start of the hurricane season is in June but first couple of months you only get a few tropical storms (this year, the first of which hit southern Florida at the beginning of June). Otherwise, you kind of know that it'll be hot and humid during the day and you're never too far away from a big thunderstorm.

And the next one could be hotter in places in Mexico or Texas for example.
Texas shouldn't be a problem, both stadiums have roofs. If FIFA is sensible
they'll mandate all the games to be played under the roof. Monterrey will be 35c+ so will probably be problematic, would be best if they're all evening games. Guadalajara humidity will be the problem if it isn't chucking it down, and Mexico City will be ok because temperature is mediated by altitude. I'd worry about the East Coast too, because some of the temperature and humidity extremes seen there in recent summers have been bad, though we saw that huge 40c+ spike in the PNW so nowhere is really immune to high temperatures in the US summer.

The hypocritical thing is, my girlfriend has frequented the bars and clubs out there and in Dubai and she says it’s completely normal to see Arab guys there drinking alcohol and surrounding themselves with women. As with most imposing conservative leaderships it’s a case of “do as I say not as I do”.
As everything in this world, money buys you exemption from certain rules.

Harry Kane is the youngest named captain at this World Cup. Out of all the 32 sides.
Depends who USA name as captain as they're the only team not to have announced so far. If it's Pulisic like I expect then he'll be the youngest.

Hopefully Gosens murders Inzaghi.
Has he frozen him out. Saying that, he doesn't really fit with how Herr Flick plays.

Seems like a bit of a slap in the face to the media companies who dedicated so much of their resources into covering the period. Would hope it discourages them from dedicating so much time and effort in future.

Willoughby seems to be the one taking most of the flak. Could be because she’s a woman but also could be because Schofield has kept his mouth shut while she keeps digging a deeper hole trying to defend herself.
Phil was taking pelters last week tbf

If there was a 13 hour wait to get into Wembley for the World Cup Final and Phil and Holly got to walk past the crowd and into the stadium to take their seats, then yes i'd say they were queuing jumping, despite no one else behind them losing out because it was a different line
I'm not even arsed about this, but your example is just weak
They'd be in the VIP section and enter the stadium through a VIP entrance. That's not queue jumping but being given a privilege because of who they are. It's the same in this instance whether people believe they should get that privilege is what's up for debate.

You think this is all mad?
When King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand died in 2016, the official mourning period was a year (the whole country had to observe 30 days of mourning, which is akin to 30 days of what's happening on the BBC right now, the football season got called off and entertainment venues shut or reduced there hours). His body lay in state for close to a year, and he wasn't cremated until over a year after his death. His successor was crowned 2 and a half years after he took the throne.
All in a country where it is illegal to criticise or insult the monarchy.

I suspect Bermondsey will only be required at the weekend.
