Gary Neville says football has to 'get over' the disruption the 2022 World Cup could cause

The FIFA task force has recommended that the controversial 2022 Qatar World Cup isto be played in November and December

Sky Sports' pundit Gary Neville says football has to "get over" the disruption the 2022 World Cup would cause after a FIFA task force recommended a winter tournament finishing in late December.

FIFA's executive committee will make the final decision on dates next month, but the FA, the Premier League and Britain's FIFA vice-president are all set to push for the final to be on December 18 rather than, as some have mooted, on December 23 - just two days before Christmas and which would disrupt all Boxing Day and New Year's matches.

England coach Neville insists this would be a minor disturbance, despite English football's chiefs lining up to vow they will fight to protect the traditional festive period.

Gary Neville has been a coach of the England team since 2012, and says football should deal with the disruption

He told talkSPORT: "Disrupted for a World Cup? You're making the World Cup sound like the Sherpa Vans Trophy. The World Cup's the World Cup, it's hardly a tin-pot competition.

"The Premier League will be disrupted for a year, every 24 or 28 years, for a continent to have a World Cup. We've got to get over it. Football's a world game."

Neville accepted there were questions over how FIFA awarded the tournament to Qatar but that the region deserved to host it.

He added: "It's been shoddy how they've got to the decision, the fact it's taken so long and been a shambles of a process. But I've been to the Middle East a number of times and they deserve a World Cup.

"It seems to have been a bit underhand and they've only decided after it's been awarded but they've got to the right place, to make allowances for a continent to host a World Cup and for them to play in normal heat."
