Members Rudy Posted December 2, 2020 Members Share Posted December 2, 2020 Most are wanted by Interpol as well. Fifa was pretty much run as a mafia. Blatter could announce he was heading to a country and he would have been greeted like a President or a Royal. Ive been out to Qatar and seen a stadium, they will have an exceptional World Cup, the stadiums are next level, as are the fanzones there shouldn’t be a bidding process to get a World Cup.

Members bolty58 Posted December 3, 2020 Members Share Posted December 3, 2020 Snout in the trough thieves/embezzlers. No surprises, we all knew this would be the case. The bent cunts then have the temerity to lecture the world on social issues. Just fuck off. Hope they end up in prison cells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rudy Posted December 3, 2020 Members Share Posted December 3, 2020 I went down a FIFA wormhole on YouTube the Caribbean sector of FIFA had come out and said they would vote towards a English bid, they wanted England to go over for a few friendlies, The FA declined because that could be seen as a bribe with them making money off England playing over there but instead would invite a Caribbean nation over here to have a friendly at Wembley. That’s usually how it works they call it “building relationships” I think it ended up being Trinidad schools who got fully kitted out with brand new computer equipment provided by one of these fuckers who’s up for bribery and money laundering charges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birch-chorley Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 To be fair the Russia bid had a massive advantage that it’s the biggest country in the World, with Football pedigree and a World Cup had never been played out that way (Eastern Europe / Central Asia). It was proven to be a good decision as well having put on what many said was a great WC (especially the ones that went over) The Qatar one I can’t get my head around though, mainly because of the size of the place. If it was a joint Middle East bid across 3 or 4 countries then fair enough, stinks really The future is the multi country events, can’t wait for US / Canada / Mexico in 2026. Not sure where the 2030 process is up to, think we are looking at a British bid with Wales & Scotland. Spain & Portugal also interested from UEFA. I think it will go back to South America though with a joint bid from Argentina / Uruguay / Paraguay, its the 100 years anniversary which goes in that bids favour (going back to Uruguay where the first one was). Sure Colombia & Peru are also interested. Any of those would make for great world cups to be fair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
