California isn't broke, we're in a drought

So yeah, maybe we shouldn't be building more places filled with useless water wasting grass

Also, lol at no drought. It isn't mad max, but we are so loving below where we should be in terms of water reserves after the last few years

Do you realise how long it's going to take to restructure the organisation, top to bottom? They're going to have to decide on a new leader, who is then going to have to gain the support not only of enough members to get elected - in theory without paying for the privilege - but also enough members to completely reform the entire organisation, while trying to keep not only little old US of A happy, but every African nation, every middle and far Eastern nation, every fucker in Europe, those Aussie cunts, whoever else I missed, all of those people need to be kept happy. And thats before anyone even gets the job.

Then, once they've got that job (it'll be 2025 at least by now) they'll need to come up with a system, a fair system, which doesn't piss off half of the member nations, that gives each of those nations a say in where world cups are played - again, without having to bribe, bribing is bad now America don't like it.

Then they'll have to come up with rules about who can represent each country's associations, maybe come up with some list of reasons of why certain people might not be suitable, while every member nation's representative at the time can be described by just such a list.

then, once they've done that, they're going to have to decide on a million factors about who can host a world cup without buying it, something which hasn't happened for decades.

Then a billion rules about sponsorship contracts, which will now have to be given without bribes and kickbacks. Again, most of you weren't alive when this last happened.

Then there's payments to suppliers, service providers, caterers, handbag and watch manufacturers - think of all the things a major international business imeancharity needs to pay for, down to paperclips and toilet paper. every single payment that needs paying, that now needs paying legitimately and without bribes, with millions of eyes on every transaction.

So what's the over/under on how long until the Garcia report is fully published? Also, odds on the FBI 'accidentally' having a copy of it already?

I wonder if after FIFA pissed him off, Garcia dropped a couple hints about where to go looking for evidence and who to look at.

I thought the Swiss already confiscated copies of the Garcia report when they searched FIFA headquarters last week?

Qualcomm and the Coliseum are total loving dumps. Stanford's stadium is not setup for Soccer and neither is Cal's -- nor would they likely use either facility for a world cup game.

The Rose Bowl and Levi's are basically the only stadiums that would be part of a world cup bid.

agreed op, i'd much rather see the World Cup final played on the lush field turf of the Lucas Oil Stadium in soccer loving Indiana than in a UEFA category four stadium.

Lucas Oil Stadium sucks balls and I'd have to look back at our original bid, but I don't think they'd have the final there.
