This is the worst bit. They had two votes for one last pay day and they don't even have to see the steaming turd of a World Cup they've left us with. Hopefully before 2022 war breaks out or something but even then FIFA would probably find an excuse to keep it there.

Officially the worst olympics ever: quote:At the closing ceremony, IOC President Juan Antonio Samaranch said in his closing speech, "Well done, Atlanta" and simply called the Games "most exceptional." This broke precedent for Samaranch, who had traditionally labeled each Games "the best Olympics ever" at each closing ceremony, a practice he resumed at the subsequent Games in Sydney in 2000.

I literally think that he's refusing to leave office because he knows with all the shady poo poo he's done, he'd spend the rest of his life in prison after his successor goes on a crusade to clean up Fifa and uses him as the scapegoat for decades of fraud and mismanagement. I completely agree. If he loses it's going to be to someone promising radical change and that means the blatter clan goes down as a scapegoat for everything FIFA's done so he's not leaving the post alive if he can help it.

If suprised the countries who failed in their 2022 bids havent made more of a fuss. Qatar was one of the only bids with major technical issues highlighted and their bid was awarded on the basiss that:
The first was a complete lie, they are lobbying for it to be moved and they've now said they're only actually building 8. There was already a ton of poo poo they were allowed to get away with like having more then 2 stadiums in a city not to mention their appalling human rights record. On top of the that the president of FIFA has said it was a partly political decision and now said it was a mistake. Australia, the US, japan and south korea should sue the gently caress out of them.

Because this is a proper trail showing exactly who paid who and how much. The times tactic is working beautifully. Qatar released a bunch of statements saying bin hamman had nothing to do with the bid and the times already countered with all their statements at the time saying what a great help he was.

No one wants to go through another round of bidding. Give the 2022 world cup to: - a nation with a strong footballing history - a large number of existing high quality football stadiums - a country that's not too hot Send it home World cup 2022 in England. Then make it like eurovision so the country that wins has to host it

ukle posted:If this farce doesn't force the creation of a new body to run football instead of FIFA then nothing will. In it's actual report they've released the Australian and English bids get critised for 50k dinners. The Qatar bid's $1.8m African federation summit is mentioned but waved away "as it is unclear how this would affect bidding" and bin hammans (qatar's self described biggest asset) bribes and successful effort to get an exco member to appeal a ban so the oceana federation couldn't vote for qatar's rivals is fine because he wasn't part of the official bid team.
