Turn the yellow card into a sin bin card as suggested, but also add an orange card which functions like the current yellow. In addition each team's manager gets a joker card they can play for 15 minutes each match. In that 15 minute period every ref's decision is doubled: score a goal? Two goals! Every foul becomes a yellow card offence, yellow counts as orange, orange counts as red and red gets an extra player of the aggrieved team's choice sent off. But be wary: the joker affects both teams equally: take down an opposing player in the box and you could be down two men and facing two penalties!

Remember how Beckenbauer was banned for a massive 90 days for failing to co-operate with corruption investigations 14 days ago? Well the ban has been lifted! http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28060635

What surfaces would they play on if Canada hosted the men's World Cup? If the reason for the fake pitches is the climate it's not an issue of sexual discrimination. If FIFA requires the men's World Cup to be played on real grass but not the women's there is a slight case.

Wouldn't that be a great place to host a world cup that would get more than zero votes. If only Hard to have stadia built by immigrant workers when they're held in offshore internment camps imho

The early stages of international tournaments are already bloated and boring, this just adds another 16 fixtures

peanut- posted:The experience of dying in a collapsed pile of scaffolding? It's a pretty standard bit of temporary seating, just a bit higher than normal and doesn't have the sides on yet. I've sat in similar at F1 races and other events and I'm still alive. That being said, you have to rely on Russia's desire not to look bad on the international stage overcoming local corruption in building and engineering it to really trust it.

I don't think Russian fans will feel they need a view of the pitch to hurl racist and homophobic slurs at foreigners

This thread is just coming up to 5 years, so 'corruption' should probably be redacted from the thread title.

I'm not going to defend the financial poo poo, but the booing has as much to do with how poo poo UEFA have been about punishing racial abuse and other ridiculous nonsense. For instance, fans take badly to being banned from a stadium because the other side has been persistently racist, who then actually get to sneak their own fans in and receive no punishment and in fact have their stadium ban reduced subsequently.

I'm going to go with 'didn't provably break any rules while squirming through every possible loophole with a brown envelope of cash in each hand' E: it's funnier than that. A 'fine' in punishment for accepting that rules were breached The fine is not large Tsaedje fucked around with this message at 18:11 on Aug 13, 2019 |

Vegetable posted:If anything shouldn't they be enforcing FFP more harshly in this period? FFP basically penalizes a club for spending €X million more than their average earnings from the past three years, where X can be increased if you have a rich club owner. But what if a big club, let's say a spanish one, needs to spend big right now but has had a massive dent in income from a year of no spectators? It's almost as if FFP was never about financial fair play

Incredible The true victim of systemic corruption in FIFA is FIFA and the solution is to award FIFA money and declare that corruption is over and FIFA has a good reputation now
