As long as the World Cup doesn't take place in Qatar, I'm fine with today's events. I don't mind Russia hosting 2018. They're patriotic, Christian and wanted to give us Lwów back.

Well I could pull the "I know more about this than you" because I was the irrigation designer for the winning pilot project that led to AB 1881 that mandates a 40% reduction for all landscape water usage on new projects by this year back in 2006, or that WUCOLS (Water Use Classification of Landscape Species) is now the bible for landscape architects in CA instead of Sunset, or that I loving made 1/2 the god drat water efficiency use forums on http://www.water.ca.gov/wateruseefficiency/landscapeordinance/.

Or I could just say that Palm Springs is using almost 3-4 times the water that they should be using because all the old retired idiots think that Marathon II or Bermuda loving turf should make up 90% of there yards is a good idea in the middle of the loving desert, to say nothing about how most golf course use a bioswale/retention system in combination with reclaimed water for their turf.

I'm an insufferable shitposter who does not deserve to root for such a good team. Also, this is what Matt Harvey thinks of me and my garbage posting.

quote:

The announcement today by President Blatter represents an exceptional and immediate opportunity for positive change within FIFA. I commend him for making a decision that puts FIFA and the sport we love above all other interests. This is the first of many steps towards real and meaningful reform within FIFA. Today is an occasion for optimism and belief for everyone who shares a passion for our game.

Insiders say the leaders of Qatar’s 2022 Supreme Committee have now been told not to set foot on U.S. soil for fear of being arrested by the FBI in its investigation into allegations that FIFA officials turned football into a “criminal enterprise” and presided over a “World Cup of fraud.”

quote:

Fifa president Sepp Blatter is being investigated by US officials as part of their inquiry into corruption at the world football body, US media say.
The news came hours after Mr Blatter announced that he was stepping down from his role.

US prosecutors launched a criminal inquiry last week, with seven Fifa officials arrested in Switzerland, part of a group of 14 people indicted.
Two days after the arrests, Mr Blatter was re-elected president of Fifa.

However, he said on Tuesday that it appeared the mandate he had been given "does not seem to be supported by everyone in the world".
Mr Blatter said: "Fifa needs profound restructuring."

Mr Blatter just needs an anarchist to burn down FIFA to re-engage dictatorial powers

That's why everyone who is against Blatter is actually a racist and tries to hide it by attacking Louie Suarez for a cultural misunderstanding.
