Australia are going to make a legal challenge if its moved as qatar were awarded the contract by giving false information (The ability to host the world cup in the summer) so they want all the money they spent on their bid given back.

I hope the US does too, as I think that's the year we were vying for as well.

I can't believe there's a poster on these forums literally trapped in Qatar. Get the hell out man, jeez!

Yeah, I didn't realize that's where you were and I hope that post didn't come off as a taunt, corpuscollossus.

Reminder (perhaps in OP?) that Interpol literally outed Blatter and Havelange as paying bungs, completely red handed, and his response was to run unopposed in an election while having his competitors expelled for bribery.

Yes but now we have ethics advisors including Placido Domingo to keep them in line.

Apparently Blatter wasn't in favor of Qatar, and I think a lot of what's going down is him working to discredit Platini, so he can run unopposed again.

He's at least calling for re-election

He was one of those most pro-Qatar, wasn't he?

We've hosted a few youth tournaments and we're hosting the Women's World Cup next year, it's clearly leading up to a 2026 bid which the CSA has said they're planning on making. Plus maybe we can just get someone from Montreal to head up the bid team, they speak Sepp's language (money; also, French).

I was thinking maybe someone from Toronto... someone with the last name Ford.

Can't believe FIFA was sending so little his way that he had to get involved in a non-FIFA scam.

I know it's going to come to nothing, and the most likely result is the US being thrown out of all comps for a decade...

Hey now, Swizziland gladly arrested Polanski for us, but we didn't get our paperwork done right and on time for extradition :(

I hear Poland's reviewing extradition requests now, actually. Case goes on.

The selection process is mostly just a bribe funnel anyway.
