what an unsurprising crock of shit.
England kick up a stink so theyre the ones who "bring disrepute" to the situation.
We were dumb enough to not cover our tracks so its our fault to that the system appears dodgy.
Russia lose emails - oh FFS the Russians could find a Ukrainian hiding in the Amazon without leaving the Kremlin if they wanted
Spain didn't return calls - so they get off scott free.
Bin Hamman - all the cash he paid was to become president of FIFA - he's dead now. Nothing wrong with Qatar bid.
main message - **** with us, we **** with you. keep quiet and we keep quiet too.
As football fans we get what we deserve. we are all addicts of the game and FIFA know it.
Honestly, if the FFA votes for Blatter this time round, they need to go too.
The FA will be for a change, the French would love Platini on there, so between them they could garner a fair bit of support. Just need someone with the balls to go **** you fifa.
But wait there's more!!!!...... @MirrorFootball: WOAH! Breaking news: Fifa lawyer Michael Garcia to appeal Fifa's OWN REPORT?!??! http://t.co/VSQCF5kETE http://t.co/8CKycphg8w
No close the thread ........ :closed::bs::blah::banghead::deadhorse:
how good is russia just smashing all the computers lol
From what I'm lead to believe is the report released is not even Garcia's report, instead its a 40 page report from some judge Erkert that supposedly summarized the 200,000 page Garcia report.Quote:

I can't believe the general outrage over this announcement by FIFA Qatar and Russia are in the clear.FFS
Almost like some **** blowing up that a politician told a lie to get elected showing outrage that FIFA wouldn't clean their dirty laundry in public

Football: Qatar World Cup in Nov-Dec 'done deal': report: Staging the 2022 Qatar World Cup in November and Dec... http://yhoo.it/1Lgpqjq
I hope that the Euro Leagues/TV stations launch legal action against them and demand loss of income.
kind of sad that people are more upset about the change from July to November/December than they are about the deaths of hundreds of workers on these stadiums
Don't get me wrong it a farce how the migrant workers are treated, it's just that the change to a Northern Hemisphere winter is the current topic.
Why it is a World Cup after all. Emphasis on the WORLDQuote:

Because the bidding process was on the premises of having a summer competition. People who represent the interest of those leagues voted on the provision of a summer tournament, now those leagues will be effected by the movement of the date.Quote:

They won fair and square. It is a corrupt game and they played it better than everyone else.
As for the Europeans. **** them
1986 1994 2014 they ****ed the world by getting the Kick Offs in line for them at the expense of the locals. They have had their interests pandered to over and over again.
Glad to see they have to for once bend over and take it up the arse
http://www.theguardian.com/football/...fifa-shortened
so, looking like:
- games will be held in November/December
- FIFA have awarded the rights to the following world cups to the American networks to keep them happy (heard that on the radio, not in the report)
- there will be less time between matches so they can get it done in a shorter time
- the pre-tournament period will only be 2 weeks rather than 4
- there will be fewer international breaks before and after the WC
It's official, Qatar 2022 now a winter World Cup
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-03-2...winter/6334160Quote:
Qatar World Cup will be played in winter of 2022
Updated 3 minutes ago
FIFA has ended more than four years of uncertainty over the timing of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar by announcing it will be played in November and December with the final on December 18.
Spokesman Walter de Gregorio said the winter tournament would probably last 28 days, instead of the 32 for last year's finals in Brazil, but this was still to be decided.
"The executive committee today ... decided that, yes, we are going to play in November and December and, yes, the final is going to be played on December 18," de Gregorio told reporters at FIFA headquarters.
"It's a Sunday and it's also the national day of Qatar and, in principle, we try to play in 28 days.
"The next steps will be to have different talks especially related to the match calendar," he added, referring to the 2019-22 cycle of international fixtures and the 2023 African Nations Cup in Guinea that is scheduled to be played in January.
Thursday's news was widely expected after the November/December period had been recommended by a FIFA task force.
UEFA should boycott this corrupt farce.

Might give a few reasons as to why the WC is in Qatar and not in a country who thought 46 million will get it
Never trust a Frog, not surprised one bit.

it doesn't say anything nice about football that there's more of an uproar about screwing around with the season than the deaths of thousands of workers
estimates are now putting the death toll at 62 worker deaths per game
Sepp Blatter is the worst person to ever have been involved in our game - the decisions to give the World Cups to Russia and Qatar will be looked back on by future generations with utter disgust
And Sepp will be laughing all the way to the bank without a care in the world.Quote:

OK, not to even for one second detract from the dispicable Qatar situation, but pretty much every WC bid is corrupt and mindlessly tone def to the citizens of whichever country it is being hosted in.
This is a run down of where some of the WC 2014 stadiums (stadia)? are at less than a year after it was run.
Remembering of course that the WC was 'due' to be held in South America and only Brazil made a serious bid.
So even though they had it in the bag it didnt stop the organisers (no doubt with the encouragement of Sepp and his boiz)from spending everyone elses money like drunken sailors.

Plague most of these issues are down to the Brazilians and the politics of the country.Quote:

Manaus Natal BrasÃ*lia and Cuiaba are white elephants from day 1
Most were built for the benefit of political relationships for people based there.
Areas with legit clubs with serious passion for the game were overlooked.
Be the equivalent of Australia building stadiums in the Gypo Coast Darwin Alice Springs and Canberra yet overlooking Adelaide Perth Newy etch who would have uses for stadiums
Even in Porto Alegre where Australia played Holland the stadium was rebuilt for the local club who plays there at 51k yet Gremio had a new stadium built 2-3kms away in 2012

Which would have more than done the job but politics got in the way

As for the issues in Qatar with workmen dying .
Workplace condition issue for that country to resolve and **** all to do with FIFA.
Pretty certain these working condition issues were present and ignored by the outraged masses well before FIFA WC was given to Qatar
errrr, the WC process is one huge circle jerk between all parties. You dont think the local authorities werent getting slaps on the back from the big boys?Quote:

The world cup is a massive carrot dangled by a corrupt organisation that brings out the worst in people.
still had a ball in germany tho.
Hence Russia and Qatar......2026: Cuba?Quote:
