How many football stadiums does each state typically have? Can it be played on an American Football pitch?

They would use what are primarily American football stadiums: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_2022_FIFA_World_Cup_bid#Details_of_the_bid

My theory is that they all want a revote so that they can get another round of bribes. And who gives a poo poo if Qatar wins it again or not, it's not like Qatar can ask for their bribes back.

But what about all those sweet contracts to supply "consulting" on building air conditioned outdoor stadiums and whatnot?

the IFAF, International Federation of American Football, also has a world championship and the next one is this very year! It was supposed to be held in Stockholm (as in, Sweden), but they canceled so it's in Ohio instead. Qualified teams are: Sweden, Germany, Austria, France, USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, South Korea, Japan, Australia, & Morocco. Most of those teams were okay with the venue change but Sweden, Germany, Austria, and Morocco haven't said if they'll play yet.

edit: I know you were joking but I'm very serious about sports. (Also America always wins by like 50 points, england could learn a lesson here)

Japan won two IFAF World Championships (before the US started fielding a team).

I don't know anything about African weather but does rain season applies to the whole of Africa?
Yes. Africa is pretty small and has a very uniform weather.

:lol: if she really believes this

quote:

“[Valcke] assured us that the Women’s World Cup would never be played on turf again. He gave me his word, which for me, that’s a win,” Wambach said. “For me, that’s progress.”

At least six. U.S. reports have been saying that the investigation states side has been in the works since 1994, when Clinton apparently directed it be opened.

Oh, so instead of sour grapes over not hosting the World Cup it was sour grapes over not winning the World Cup that we hosted.

Can't wait for all of the non-corrupt FIFA members to elect a whole new executive committee. This will change things.

I believe Switzerland announced that they'd told him not to try to cross the border. But, drat. If Warner is actually able to prove that FIFA influenced the elections in Trinidad and Tobago, those assholes need to go down hard.

I'm having a hard time believing anything that Warner is saying. If he can prove it, great, but after his Onion article video I expect his proof of this to be a printout of http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3570853.

Platini and Blatter just had their bans cut by two years "in recognition of their services to football".

I thought the bans were recognition of their services to football.

True story there have been FieldTurf games in MLS where the "grass" reflected so much heat back on a hot day that parts of players' shoes started to melt.

It's not turf's fault that our players are too hot to be contained by mere shoes.

I think they'd probably do 10 groups of 4 with only the group winners guaranteed the knockout stage, which will be good for exciting football too maybe?

Too big a chance the big names are irrelevant early. Everybody likes an upset, but too many and all of the sudden the suits get nervous that people won't tune in for VCU vs. Butler.
