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.

Get out and never look back

I'm amazed he even has a twitter account. It's literally nothing but hatred, death threats and utter vitirol directed at him for every single one of his tweets. It's like he feeds off this poo poo.

Do you honestly think Blatter knows what twitter is? Those posts are made by a social media intern, probably making nothing but 'experience' instead of money

I may be wrong but haven't FIFA/UEFA decided artificial turf is fine? It's used in CL/EL games in like Russia afaik

Yes, also apparently if you sue FIFA your entire federation gets suspended, so this affects the entire USSF. If they really felt so strongly about it they'd boycott the tournament. They won't

What surfaces would they play on if Canada hosted the men's World Cup? If the reason for the fake pitches is the climate it's not an issue of sexual discrimination. If FIFA requires the men's World Cup to be played on real grass but not the women's there is a slight case.

We'd lay down grass, owned

Is anything stopping Canada from going "Ok fine, we won't host the WWC"?

After this, the last FIFA tournament Canada will not have hosted is the men's senior World Cup. They want to point at a successful tournament and use it as credibility for a 2026 bid.

On top of that, in just the past 8-9 years there's been a huge upswing in popularity and media attention towards not just soccer in general, but our local and national teams as well. Believe it or not, but after London 2012 the women's team are a bigger draw than our perennially poo poo men's team. They want to keep the spotlight and momentum going to keep interest growing in the domestic game and not just what you watch on TV Saturday morning.

Elsewhere, in the dying world of handball:

Qatar won their semifinal in the handball world championships. Well, not so much Qatar, but the team they bought to represent them, thanks to handball's lax rules on changing nationality and an endless supply of money. So, a Qatar team featuring a bunch of ex-balkan players beat Poland thanks to some rather terrible calls by the Serbian refs. Not at all suspicious, of course.

Also, once they made the semis Qatar voided a bunch of foreigner's tickets to get more home support. You got a ticket? Well, gently caress you foreigner, a Qatari "supporter" wants it.

Earlier in the tournament though they had to pay spectators (migrant workers) to show up and fill the stands. Hasn't stopped the stands from being empty, despite officially being sold out. Well, except for the Qatar fans, which they imported from Spain. Yep, they paid a Spanish club's fans to come cheer for Qatar.

Oh, and of course Qatar is gonna apply for the summer olympics.

Anyone else looking forward to 2022?

I don't have any love for FIFA either but I feel that possibly "human rights" is a made up meaningless term. Anyway someone needs to find or fake an audio recording of Blatter saying something bad about gay marriage and the twitter folks will have his head on a platter in under a day.

Didn't he already tell gay people not to kiss each other in Qatar
