World Cup Forum

[Grig]

To say that the only thing that will happen in the football world is the World Cup is silly. There may not be any football competitions but that, but there maybe news on managers leaving etc etc. that may not be related to the world cup.

Putting everything in one thread isn't good, because I would like to discuss everything within the world cup and after a while it would just get confusing and go all over the place. If we are putting a campaign with world cup events etc. then a World Cup forum would serve much logic.

It will render the sports forum useless, with the only other sports being discussed are formula 1 and cricket, between 2-4members.

As well as tennis, this is true.

But I'm sure people who want to talk about other things in the sports section would get a bit fed up. Plus it's easier from everyone if its in one forum. Also I think there'd be more spirit and stuff

There are hardly any Sports section regulars who don't like football.

While I don't think a completely separate forum is necessary, it will get a bit overwhelming when people start making a new thread for every single match. Perhaps it would be ideal to make an official thread for each group (i.e. separate threads for Group A, Group B, Group C, etc)? People can then talk about individual matches within these - relatively speaking only very few matches will be discussed anyway (like England's for example, and there are five or six days between each of those so it would leave ample time for discussion to take place all within the same thread). Then at the later stages of the tournament, quarter and semi-final threads could be made as appropriate. In fact if this was done, then a sub-forum could be useful and wouldn't adversely affect the overall usage of the Sports section itself.
