euroboy posted:Wenger thinks having the world cup in the winter is good idea for the security of the supporters. Have to say I haven't thought of the security aspect of it tbh. Another reason why giving it to Qatar just gets more and more bizarre. Looks like the Qataris got to Wenger, wonder what they gave him

Spokesman for black people everywhere Yaya Toure says that black players might boycott Russia 2018. Thats going to hit African teams hard, and mildly improve the USMNT.

Scott Bakula posted:http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/feb/18/qatar-world-cup-india-migrant-worker-deaths quote:Official figures confirmed by the Indian embassy in Doha reveal that 237 Indians working in Qatar died in 2012 and 241 in 2013. A further 24 Indians have died in January 2014. Assuming that the 717 Indian deaths since 2010 are a reasonable metric and Indians aren't just uniquely clumsy and accident prone, then you're looking at over 3000 slave deaths since the World Cup was awarded to Qatar.

corpuscollossus posted:More of a Catch 22. My employer is extorting me under the threat of deportation to work at half the market wage while I slowly bleed to bankruptcy with rising rent and school fees. Salaries are paid in bits and pieces. I can either head home with nothing or hope that the law changes and step into a job that pays more than double. I should probably just cut my losses. Have you considered leading a slave uprising?

EAT FASTER!!!!!! posted:I don't get it - can they take the 2022 WC away? Can we reschedule it or move it or give it to England to host or something reasonable? Or will it be in the middle of the desert in the middle of the summer gently caress the players and gently caress the fans? Can they do it? Yes. Will they do it? Of course not.

Live coverage has moved off BBC Parliament and onto here. So far its a waste of time, Greg Dyke is a retard, its no wonder the FA are such pushovers with him in charge.

serious gaylord posted:It looks like the UK government are going to instruct the SFA to start criminal proceedings. Good. I reckon if you asked the English public whether they'd rather see England's best lawyers going after FIFA or England's best footballers dicking about for the national team, they'd choose the first option.

tbp posted:they never face any reprecussions from any actions. it's ludicrous. why operate any differently? i have 0% expectation anything will come from current furor, and most of the ppl pocketing the money now probably plan to be dead by qatar so they won't even bother with the yelling that'll start up around then. and whoever is in charge at that time will reap the monetary reward bc we'll all watch it and the sponsors will be there and whatever lol People will watch it on telly but gently caress all fans are going to want to actually go to Qatar, they'll have to hire North Koreans to fill the stands

serious gaylord posted:We're all saying nothing will happen to fifa, but from the almost world wide laughter at this so called ethics report I actually think something may be done. If only to make it so Blatter cant step foot in any country that has an extradition treaty with the US to face his inevitable trial there. Nothing will happen until major European nations (and England) tell FIFA to git tae gently caress

atomic gog posted:The US have won 9 world cups: 5 in basketball and 4 in baseball. This is like Japan winning at sumo though, or India at kabaddi. American culture is too individualistic to ever succeed at team sports, unlike Australia where the harsh environment means they learn to love and rely on their fellow man at a very early age.
