Aside from the fact that it just keeps getting worse with each new revelation, I think what boggles me most of all is how unashamed and unabashedly open FIFA is about all of it.

All five CONMEBOL teams made it out of the group stage last World Cup.

They sure did, but you're using things like logic and history and statistical analysis to argue your point which will be shouted down with cries of "gently caress YOU PAY ME".

I hope Sepp Blatter dies soon.

Agreed, though with his track record he'll turn FIFA into weekend at Blattie's.

"BREAKING: World soccer governing body FIFA lodges criminal complaint over 2018 and 2022 World Cup hosting rights."


This came through on my Twitter feed but I have no idea what FIFA has to file a criminal complaint about?

So they went from "only the English bid was corrupt" to filing international criminal charges in a matter of days? What an utter farce.

You guys are right, it's all a foreign plot to keep down the noble Europeans. If only football was under the wise guidance of UEFA.

I agree, it's an excellent idea that Kiribati - with a population of ~100,000 and who has literally never won an international match - has the same voice in FIFA as Germany.

Don't be pedantic. The point still stands if you substitute Anguilla, the British Virgin Islands, or any of the host of other tiny Caribbean nations that literally call up Sunday league players for International matches.

He means they paid a bombload for the rights to broadcast and advertisers aren't going to pay top dollar any more because they'll be splitting their budgets for that time period between all the different sports going on at the same time.

Exactly. November and December is smack in the middle of the college and NFL football seasons which are much, much larger draws in the US.

No wait, that's just the decomposing corpse of football.

Other than being generally willing to accept that Qatar had an air service of some variety, I'd never heard of Qatar Airways before this thread mentioned them. Emirates I'd seen.
