Sorry but there's nothing FIFA can do about this, it's out of their jurisdiction and besides the Rolex came engraved it's not like they can return them now.

What is the name for multiple Rolex? I feel like this is something the FIFA delegates should probably know.

It's to allow the visiting dignitaries a chance to arrive into the stadium by helicopter and deliver a final symbolic loving of football.

It will be pretty great if the EPL just stauntly refuses to shuffle fixtures around and everyone plays their reserve teams in the league for a couple months around the world cup. Bonus points if EPL early kickoffs clash with world cup matches.

Bonus points if EPL early kickoffs clash with world cup matches. Clubs can't refuse to release players, and players won't want to miss a World Cup anyway so if the World Cup is during the winter then it will be during the winter with all the best players. FIFA/UEFA hit Mallorca pretty hard last season for not releasing Giovani Dos Santos.

In the 3rd minute of bonus time in the 4th quarter of the Germany Brazil Qatar trifinal of the Gazprom World Cup a 200 year old Sepp Blatter rolls onto the pitch in a wheelchair, runs over the Qatari keeper and falls on top of him. The ref gives a fast 3 count and Blatter is declared world heavyweight football champion of the world. David Beckham is shown on the video screens standing by the players tunnel. He shakes his head and picks up a chair. The vaginadome has never seen action like this.

It's okay guys Sepp is going to make sure that working conditions are okay:The Guardian posted:Fifa has said "fair working conditions with a lasting effect must be introduced quickly in Qatar" after Sepp Blatter admitted that widespread abuse of migrant workers was "unacceptable" following a meeting with international union leaders in Zurich.
