Tickets for this are on sale at the moment. thinking of heading over maybe for one game, question is I know for the World Cup tickets can be used to avoid Visas and stuff will it be the same for this? Also is it only Visa exemptions for participating nations? i.e. seems Ireland aren't there I'd need a Visa or would having tickets regardless of nationality be OK |

I'm a big fan of the Confed Cup. Teams play without any fear and there's always lots of goals as well. 2009 in South Africa was a quality tournament. USA knocking out Spain in the Semi Finals. In 2013, Italy beat Japan in a 4-3 thriller in the Group stage, Tahiti got whipped 10-0 by Spain and 8 or 9 by Uruguay. Brazil beat Spain comfortably 3-0 in the final. Looking forward to this again.  ------------- YBIG Quiz Champion 2016, 2017 & 2018. As You Were Three in a row |

It also had the 4-3 thriller between Brazil and Egypt, Brazil won it with a last-minute penalty. Should be good, there usually are some really good games in it, it'll keep us going anyway for a couple of weeks during what would otherwise have been a boring summer with no world cup or European championship. ------------- The nation holds it's breath...YES, WE'RE THERE!!! |

First game in Saransk (which as you might have guessed Ryanair don't service!) 22 hour train journey to our next game in Ekateringburg for the second game. 51 hour train journey then to the 3rd game in Sochi. Someone there pick a random slot in the draw and I'll see if that's an outlier.

I've done a bit of research on this: calculating the total journey time between city A and B, then B and C. None of this covers getting to the first host city or home again or to the potential second round game. I've based it on this year's timetable, searching for most trains on the 4th July, just to pick a date. The *median* position is about 51 hours, the mean about 50 hours. The worst is position F3: Nizhny Novgorod to Sochi to Yekaterinburg: 38 hours then 62 hours, over 100 hours total. The long train leaves Sochi the afternoon after the second match and only arrives in Yekaterinburg the morning of the last match (assuming no substantial timetable changes between this year and next). The best is D1: Moscow to Nizhny Novgorod to Saint Petersburg: 3 hours then 15 hours. I should that in some cases I have used direct trains even where changing would be quicker. In many cases, going via Moscow can be quicker, especially to Nizhny Novgorod, Kazan and Saint Petersburg, as they are well connected to Moscow with faster trains. Six of the Kaliningrad ones suffer from a problem, however, in that in each case you have to change in Moscow at least once. Now, none of them require two changes, or even a change both ways, but they are a pain all the same, with the transit visa problem for Belarus. The other alternative to flying is a train to Riga in Latvia then an overnight bus: f**k that. Now, I might be a train fan, but even I figure that 100 hours on trains over a one week period might be a little much. Let's see if we qualify and then see where we get drawn. -------------

You know it's a long train journey when even you're getting fed up with it SD. Just 1 problem with that best-case scenario though - you only get that position if you're seeded and we probably wouldn't get seeded even if we won all our remaining qualifiers 10-0. ------------- The nation holds it's breath...YES, WE'RE THERE!!! |

Can you imagine the cost of a trip to Russia with Abbey travel? I highly doubt there would be more than a 100 who would go down that route who never go to games. ------------- "He drives two Ferraris; I think he's a very lucky lad to have 50 caps for Ireland," Eamonn Dunphy on Glenn Whelan |

Pretty much what you're saying, that it will slow games down and spoil the entertainment factor. Brian Kerr strongly disagreed with him though and says any new system would have teething problems and take time to bed in. He pointed out too that football has always had controversial rule changes that were initially unpopular.

That isn't really my problem as I think it will speed up a bit over time. I think the biggest problem is how it is being implemented, which seems bizarre and the fact that so many incidents in football are subjective and will cause more confusion. I think that if it was for offside decisions and things that are clear cut then fine. Look at the Varane incident against England, I have seen loads of debate from people, including former referees, who are unsure if a red card was right or not! All that effort and there will still be doubt. The Limerick penalty incident the other night is another one, I have watched 10 or 12 times and I still don't know if Ogbene is very clever and catches his leg on McNulty or vice-versa. SO many of the big calls, the ones debated in the press and in the pubs are subjective. This won't change that. I also think, as the Portugal second goal shows, referees will go to it far too quickly when they should trust their own judgement. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

It's off. I called it on the first replay. Right decision again. I'm 100% supportive of the VAR. There's too much revenue and honour on the line to be put at risk of human error. We need to have the right decision and if it takes a few extra seconds, I'm fine with it, even if a decision goes against me. What rush are people in? Better that than years of grudges resulting from the wrong decision given. Now we finally have it, there has already been a dramatic reduction in diving and cheating going on. Significant reduction in pushing and shoving at corners too. This works and is a long overdue aid that will revolutionise the game. |

I think it is going to be have to fine tuned and they will have to draw up a very precise list of what can and cannot be ruled on. There is no need for every single goal to be sent upstairs to be reviewed, it should be at the discretion of the referee to refer it up. Just because there are early teething problems doesn't mean it couldn't work in time.

But why did he go upstairs for the Soares goal? And why not for the Cameroon goal? When the assistant's flag goes up, defenders will be automatically put off and no amount of saying 'play to the whistle' will change that. I just don't think football has the flow for it to work in the way it does for rugby and it will only lead to more controversy. I know it is topical because of the trial, but all anyone is discussing after 3 games of the tournament is VAR and nearly all of it negative. I am not against the introduction of video assistance, but how it has been implemented and is being used is beyond farcical. I would have suggested that simply having a decent monitor in front of the fourth official and a connection to the ref and any major f**k up would be pulled up immediately; if it is that big a gaffe it should be seen on the first replay and be done in 30 seconds. Instead, we have to have the FIFA grand drama of absolute chaos and nobody has an idea what is going on. I fully expect them to persist with it though and the VAR to be sponsored by Mastercard and Hyundai next summer. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

What's so big about the length of tune it takes, will you miss your bus after the game? If it takes 30 seconds or 3 minutes, who cares as long as the correct call is made? I accept that there are communications issues on the ground, but that can be sorted out easy enough. The main thing is it works, and I haven't seen any deliberate attempts by players to con the officials yet either. That can only be good for the game. Duffer on tv is an advocate of it, although he wasn't that sure following a correctly disallowed goal. Where was he on that night in Paris? Oh yeah, he was there, running off to the blind lino on the sideline while the rest of us up the other end of the stadium were watching him, and got booked for it. I wish we had video technology that night but no, we had human error instead. |

Although this was a poor attempt of sarcasm, the answer is actually yes when it comes to midweek games in London. You generally have 20 minutes from full time to get to the station otherwise you're stuck in London for the night.

Heading to RUS v POR now. I went to CAMvCHI, I knew already Chile travelled in big numbers or at least tickets sales were good for them. The new-build Spartak metro is a long walk to sections 6 & 7. So I'm in the same section again and will try Tuskinskaya this time. THe 33,492 at CAMvCHI felt less than 33,492 but as a UCD Fan I'm not used to the big numbers. First half, 'Mexican Wave' made 5 circuits of the Stadium. Only twice early in second half. The references to VAR on this thread, Chilean Fans were celebrating a goal even after ref. signalled with a box shape. But the boos started coming with the delay. The referee's signal free-out was the only message that a goal was disallowed. Because the disallowed goal was on 45+1 minutes. When the player were still on pitch heading for the dressing room a computerised message stuttered "Cameroon..and...Chile..nothing,nothING". Then repeated in Russian "...nulla,nulLa". Just rubbing it in. ------------- www.ucdsupporters.ie |

If they plan on using it in the World Cup, you'd imagine they'll figure out how to use the big screens to show the crowd if it is a goal or not. -------------

It will be one of the most novel ways ever used to incite a riot. ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won. Whatever small role elite clubs still play in the local communities from which they grew is dwarfed now by their position as global brands. |

Well, it depends if they use it agin' the Russians. Other than that, it'll be grand. It doesn't cause riots at 'Murican football games, and they're attended by roving gangs of tanked up, in bred trogs. -------------

The Russian anthem is still f**king bombastic and fantastic. It's a song you'd go to war with. -------------

Well it's one the main reasons why it isn't shown at football games now, they show the Vid Ref replays in rugby and there is never trouble. Didn't they accidentally (on purpose) show some replay at the 2014 WC on the screen |

Hamilton said on Saturday It's the type of anthem you expect from a country that's produced the likes of Borodin and Tchaikovsky ------------- Eamonn Dunphy:"I'll tell you who wrote it, Rod Liddle, he's the guy who ran away and left his wife for a young one".
