The way this thread went from 4000 poor Nepalese workers dying from horrid work conditions to loving opening ceremonies of the US Olympic games tells me that a) nobody really cares b) the qatar wc will be a big success in the winter of 2022 and c) death to america

Crazy Ted posted:Defending Qatar this month – European Club Association head Karl Heinz-Rummenigge: "After visiting Qatar for our last general assembly we had a good feeling about a World Cup there." Also last week: German tax authorities fine Rummenigge a reported €250,000 for failing to declare two Rolexes received as gifts during the trip. Rummenigge is a goddamn moronic oval office and I hate him so much. Crazy Ted posted:Speaking of... This is Zurich were talking about, one of if not the most expensive city in the world. Above average prices for people living there, horribly expensive for everybody else. ephex fucked around with this message at 19:26 on Sep 30, 2013 |

A WC/EC knockout phase without Italy participating is great bc it actually makes it possible for Germany to win that thing.

German media are reporting that FIFA will have a vote on the reallocation of the 2022 World Cup later this year or at the latest at their conference in the spring of 2015. Looks like Qatar is gonna get fleeced again.

jyrka posted:The Qataris are idiots. What are they doing building the stadiums 8 years before the World Cup anyway? Aren't these things normally done in the last minute? Actually they are pretty smart because if they finish building the stadiums in like let's say 2017 the world will have done years to forget about everything that happened and got reported during construction.
