NinjaSteve posted:Australia is going to hold the Asian Cup in 2015 which I think will prove that we have the infrastructure and ability to hold a World Cup. We don't have the willingness to pay for one though. Qatar hosted the 2011 Asian Cup, which I think proved that they had the infrastructure and ability to hold a World Cup...as long as only 12,000 people show up for games. They even held it in the Winter.

Peanut President posted:India would be a disaster. Wasn't there a lot of bullshit when they hosted the Commonwealth Games? It really seemed to be a rather usual 'Asian's style of managing a sporting event, events being "sold out" with empty stadiums and what have you.

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. Seriously, get out while you still can. You can either be at home with nothing or in Qatar with nothing. DO you have your passport in your possesion? If so just pull a loving runner. edit: YOu have been keeping records of all the bullshit right? Just in case you need to explain things to future employers/authorities.

Crazy Ted posted:I'd be more sympathetic to the lawsuit if the female players cited it as a safety issue instead WE ARE TOTALLY BEING DISCRIMINATED AGAINST!!! because many MLS and NFL teams use FieldTurf and even though it's better than the old green concrete it still chews up knees and bodies has issues at high temperatures. FIFA experiments with stuff in minor tournaments, and in spite of what those players want to think the Women's World Cup is a minor tournament. Apparently there are laws in Canada about gender inequality, there should be no double standard in rules in regards of the sexes. So in this particular case, they have a very real case.

I wonder how they decided how to place the flags up top. There doesn't seem to be that much of an order, but North and South Korea are right loving next to each other.

Isn't one of FIFA's ,relatively recent, conditions that new stadiums get built for the World Cup? Or was that just construction companies going hog wild in the host countries?

Last year a scout for Jeonbuk of the K-League got caught for offering bribes. The KFA's punishment was a nine point deduction for the 2016 season, that wasn't good enough for the AFC though and Jeonbuk is being banned from the Champions League. http://m.yna.co.kr/mob2/en/contents_en.jsp?cid=AEN20170118011851315&site=0200000000&mobile quote:The South Korean club got disqualified from the 2017 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League, the K League said Thursday. It said the Entry Control Body (ECB), a judicial body independent of the AFC, reached the decision following its review of Jeonbuk's eligibility.
