Leastwise i am assuming that there is to be a tournament forum created again? :)

And With the various competing nations beginning to name their squads [Brazil doing so today], the football forum is going to become increasingly populated by such topics despite leagues still being in progress.

There was a World Cup forum made 4 years ago. Shame it got deleted, some of the discussion there was gold, especially the ones focusing on the Suarez handball.
 
Worth a shot. Shouldn't be too difficult to create (assuming XenForo has similar abilities like myBB)

Plus can I put in a request to have a sub forum (hidden like the General, if necessary) specifically for all the World cup babes :drool:

The World Cup babes thread goes without saying... Especially with it being in brazil :drool:
 
What about the Euros, FA cup, CL, etc. They deserve section too.

What don't you name it as 'football tournaments'

you can create your threads there and you don't have to delete it, ever.

Meh...what do I know?

The World Cup being the biggest sporting event in the world deserves it's own, given that it's a whole month non stop. Easy to lose the club football stuff during the World Cup if it's in the same forum.

Terrible idea.
 
Yes a World Cup Forum will be created soon.
 
A World Cup thread would be great. I'd also love an England goes into meltdown thread with a sticky

The English get pretty uppity during international tournaments on here, this probably won't be a good idea

I don't need you to tell me if it is or not a good idea.

In my opinion, it is stupid to dedicate a whole forum for one tournament, even if it is so big and comes periodically. What, a forum with 10-15 threads max?

I am not the admin here, but peer pressure is getting to you.

thats the whole point of the thread. To document the RAWKfication of England fans for posterity. The England boom bust cycle is up there with the Scousers. Already there is talk of young lions in the press.

When tournaments are on it's pretty much all the caf talks about

It's certainly a good idea

Yeah it worked fine. Hopefully the forum's moved on enough so that following the tourney all of the threads won't need to be deleted like last time.

Just post in the world cup thread for now and we will move all the content into the WC forum once its created.
 
Came here to ask the same question. Maybe even a subsection for England (probably won't be needed for very long) and Holland (natural interest with the imminent arrival of LvG after the WC)?

Each side will likely have their own thread and there will also be matchday threads for each fixture.
 
I'm looking forward to my first World Cup in the Mains. The Newbies always got a bit clustered and mental during international tournaments.
 
We usually move the best threads into the Football Forum at the end of the tournament and close the WC forum.

Yep that's what will happen.
 
Is there enough discussion to warrant creating the forum now or wait until after the domestic season is done?

Wouldn't hurt to open in now, there are several threads and new ones will populate quickly once it opens.
 
Is it possible to make the threads in the World Cup Forum appear on the homepage?
