tbh it makes more sense to host it in Brazil before all those brand new WC stadiums completely fall apart.

will the bus stops in that one stadium just be a course hazard for extra fun? like mini golf, but with footballers getting pasted by Brazilian transit drivers

lol another one downFIFA posted:FIFA today announced that its Secretary General Jérôme Valcke has been put on leave and released from his duties effective immediately until further notice. Further, FIFA has been made aware of a series of allegations involving the Secretary General and has requested a formal investigation by the FIFA Ethics Committee.

I've posted this a few times around here but I'll repeat myself: I'm pretty sure, despite the Bosman and Webster rulings, that the transfer system itself is at heart incompatible with fundamental EU law, to the point where, once there's no longer political support for maintaining the system, it'll quickly get killed by the European Court of Justice.

Basically that the very strict limitations on when a player under contract can choose to play for a club in another EU-country go against Article 45 of the TFEU: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:12012E/TXT&from=DA quote:Article 45 So far, the EU has basically looked the other way or pretended that football fell under "public policy, public security or public health", so it's largely a political issue, but once the motivation to look away disappears, the ECJ will murder the current transfer system dead. And if the transfer system dies in the EU, FIFA will surely have no interest in maintaining it in the rest of the world.

Syncopated posted:Where would all the money go instead of insane price tags, salaries? I can see why the union are doing this. quote:Other Fifpro objectives include an end to the loan system, restrictions on squad sizes and the capping of payments to agents. So if Fifpro got everything they wanted there would be no more transfer fees, no more loans, no more massive squads full of every player Chelsea could get to pick up a pen, and potentially no more Jorge Mendes. I have no idea what the transfer situation would look like after all that, but it's possible it would be better for the players and fans.
