the sex ghost posted: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 Lookit this noob who doesn't know the real money is in construction kickbacks. When will Antarctica host a tournament? I have a plan to build hotels, airports, stadia and roads, who wants some action?

quote:At least one bank in the Cayman Islands initially refused to process the payment amid fears over the legality of the money transfer. The money was eventually processed via a bank in New York – a transaction that is understood to have come to the attention of the FBI. A well-placed source said: “These payments need to be properly investigated. The World Cup is the most important event in football and we need to be confident that decisions have been made for the right reasons. There are lots of questions that still need to be answered.” hahaha when your money is too dirty for even the cayman islands... ffs

quote:The unofficial reason that Qatar alighted upon PSG lies in the already close links between the two countries and a much-discussed lunch between the then French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, Uefa's president Michel Platini and Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, who has since succeeded his father, Hamad, as the Qatar's emir. "I totally swear that giving my son a job and having my president as a paid lackey had nothing to do with my otherwise completely inexplicable decision." from: http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/apr/03/psg-world-cup-football-tv-rights-qatar

Or when Bavaria put orange lederhosen in cases of beer in the Netherlands and then all the people who tried to wear them to the matches in Germany 06 had their clothes confiscated. Ed: and weren't some models arrested in South Africa for all wearing orange dresses and sitting in the front row or something? greazeball fucked around with this message at 19:26 on May 19, 2014 |

I would be OK with him just rotting in jail for the rest of his days. They've got plenty of evidence on everyone else without his hyperbole I'm sure.

poo poo's slowly dragging on for ol Sepp and FIFA in Switzerland: https://apnews.com/article/international-soccer-zurich-sports-europe-sepp-blatter-soccer-f682a9d6f83823d3dcb6bdc272970888 The latest is FIFA suing him for the hosed up deal he arranged with an insurance company to renovate their property for the football museum in Zurich and also pay them above market rent until 2045. Renovtion and rent add up to about $500m, plus the thing operates at a ridiculous loss and there was a $50m write off in 2016. The new lawsuit is being handled in Zurich's courts, he's still involved in two in the federal courts for payments to Platini and Warner. The Swiss federal prosecutor had to resign after "forgetting" what he talked about in unreported meetings with Infantino, so none of this will ever end.

Remember when FIFA made a movie? They've not renewed EA Sports' license and starting in 2023 the FIFA video game will be made by FIFA. quote:In its own statement later on Tuesday, FIFA said it would be launching new soccer video games developed with third-party studios and publishers. Several non-simulation games were already in production and will launch in the third quarter of this year, FIFA added. Several non-simulation games are already in production! I'm sure it's gonna be great, and I'm sure we're gonna love EA Sports FC. https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/4662729/fifaea-sports-to-end-video-game-partnership-game-to-continue-under-new-name

fast cars loose anus posted:Presumably EA won't be able to put the world cup in their game but could they strike separate deals with entities like UEFA etc and still have all of the things like the Champions League and so forth? What does losing the FIFA license actually mean for them (besides the hilarious spectacle of FIFA trying to make their own)? It's a good point, maybe EA did look at what FIFA were asking and decided they don't really need them. Thanks for the link in the other thread, btw. Didn't they already have to negotiate with all the individual leagues for their rights anyway? I remember ProEv got exclusive rights to Juventus one year so they were Turin FC or something in FIFA.

Asking for a friend, what's the best way to boycott the world cup and still watch the matches? Stream it? Is there any meaningful action that FIFA, sponsors or broadcasters would notice?
