After the Heatstroke world cup in Qatar I'd like to see the world cup given to Bolivia. Imagine every player having to play wearing big oxygen tanks and the ball dipping and swerving everywhere because of the thin air

I wonder how much money I would need to convince FIFA to host an entire World Cup just in the city of Leeds. Various parks and 5 a side pitches around the city for the group games, Elland Road for the final. Is there some sort of bribe chart available for reference

Franz Beckenbauer went to Qatar and he looked really hard and he didnt see any illegal slaves or deathtrap building sites or anything like that, and if you cant trust him who can you trust

TheBigAristotle posted:Finally watching the Vice premiere, this piece on how the Brazilian government is dealing with the favelas is some hosed up poo poo. I wonder if poo poo like extreme poverty and violence was even discussed once by FIFA voters. It was discussed at length, actually, and it was decided that there was no extreme poverty and violence. Novelty noisemakers and overpriced warm beer for everyone

Yeah I just deposited 50 million quid into my own bank account, incidentally the next 3 world cups are going to be held in bahrain and the local sheik and his mates are allowed to be in it and have an automatic bye to the final. What's going to happen. That's right, nothing.

Tbh now that we're a year out there's a regular enough stream of terrible Qatar news independent of wider FIFA corruption to warrant its own thread and the amount of poo poo is only going to increase as we get closer to the tournament. I don't want to put down a blanket 'this is a sports forum so only post about sports and never anything political that's directly connected to it. Shut up and just kick ball' rule and world cups usually attract lots of posters from the wider forums so feel like a general Qatar Qontainment zone would be the best way of organising it. I am too lazy to make an op right now but if an enterprising young posting prospect wants to have a go you get a gold star

vyelkin posted:IFAB has said thanks but no thanks to the idea of blue cards and sin bins, but they're going to allow trials of a new time wasting rule where goalkeepers get eight seconds to hold the ball instead of six, but the ref will visibly count down the last five seconds on their hand so the goalkeeper, players, and fans can all see how much time the keeper has left. Managers salivating at the opportunity to kick off at the ref in the post match for counting too slow or too fast
