Crazy Ted posted:Well no that wasn't the only thing wrong. There was the whole everything they were going to do to mitigate the heat, like air conditioning open-air stadiums and creating artificial clouds, which were basically hilarious pipe dreams that they made up. You want to mitigate the summer heat? Build a loving retractable roof and wheel the grass inside. There are number of stadiums that already do this. So, just the heat then.

The only upgrade over Saudi is that you can get an overpriced glass of mediocre wine with your overpriced mediocre steak, or drink a shite export lager in a soulless hotel bar. Local entertainment is driving in circles on the Pearl with your Landcruiser to show off. There's a reason why you can catch any one of 31 daily flights to Dubai.

Also theres tens of millions of people in the area who think it'd be pretty epic if someone put a grenade in the ball or the stands.

Blatter tried to help Europe by handing them the Russians and the Arabs on a silver plate. The world will remember him as a monster, but he was the only European patriot with courage

I don't think the Gulf countries love each other that much. quote:The UAE, along with Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, withdrew their ambassador from Qatar in March 2014 for allegedly failing to abide by an agreement not to interfere in the politics of these countries.

Rad Valtar posted:I believe FIFA went as far as forcing the government to pass or repeal a bill that wo allow them to? I have to say I prefer this approach to forcibly opening up difficult markets over the anglo-american model of invading, deposing local leaders and slaughtering hundreds of thousands of civilians. in this light sepp blatter actually comes across as relatively humanitarian

Houston alone has 5 different stadiums they could host games in. Texas by itself could host the WC as could a lot of other states. That's probably the only issue with the U.S. hosting it. How do you decide where to have the games?

Propaganda Machine posted:I know the States and its stadiums is a really popular topic around here, but our two biggest stadiums, the Big House in Ann Arbor, and the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, are both approximately the size of their host cities. the rose bowl isn't even in the top 10, and Michigan is no longer the biggest.

Lladre posted:I would go to Michigan to watch people not die from heat exhaustion. In the US people die during heat waves, even in places like Michigan. It's often elderly and/or disabled people who can't get out of their un-air-conditioned homes to cool off or buy supplies. And homeless people die from exposure year-round, whether it's heat, cold, or drowning in a flash flood.
