I thought of going to the States for the World Cup. But I just can't - Trump, the nonsense of entering the States and what UEFA has done to the sport including enlarging the competition and selling out to Gulf/Middle East States has put me off.
I found an article on the likely move of some European football overseas which prompted me to start the thread

Unfortunately we can see from the history of the Israel -Palestine situation that a peace accord now won't necessarily lead to long-term peace and statehood for the Palestinians. This has been going on for decades, ever since the Palestine authority gave refugee status to Jews fleeing the Nazis in the 1930s and 1940s. Britain has a shameful role in handing the problem on to the League of Nations and since then the world has watched on and done nothing or very little.
Why are we even discussing this? If Trump gets the Nobel Peace Prize he can put in on the mantelpiece with his dodgy golf trophies. We all know he is an egotist and an award wont suddenly make us admire him.
Worth catching up on Radio 4's Newsquiz that was discussing the peace deal and Trump as I was typing my previous post.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006r9yq
