The only possible 'upside' I can imagine about the world cup is that we are going to get a bonkers January transfer window as we get the WC shop window/flash in the pan effect just as everyone coming back from the tournament knackers themselves in the Christmas fixture pile up.

They're going to run out of booze by like 2pm on a regular basis.

AceOfFlames posted:Ok, this is probably going to sound like the stupidest question in the world: how do these people then deposit this money in the bank? Do they all have Swiss bank accounts (I guess since their HQ is in literal Switzerland). I ask because if I get a transfer from abroad (I still have some savings back home) my own bank immediately sends me an email asking me where I got this money and all but asking me if I am a money launderer. I can't imagine asking for a bribe and not getting caught thanks to the nature of banking. The Swiss banks have specialists who will manage the whole process for you. UBS, Julius Bär, etc. all have "scandals" in their recent past. AceOfFlames posted:In other "incredibly stupid" question, why is it that people who get bribed simply not keep the money and not do anything? What can the bribee do in that case, call the police for them not taking your illegal bribe? If someone paid me 1m to vote for them, I'd just keep it, not do it then get another job. The kind of people who can afford a bribe for a rich man to compromise his career can easily afford bribes for a number of poor men to commit violence and a number of police to look the other way.

ilmucche posted:Group stage match tickets supposedly still available for like 50-70 pounds which isn't a great sign for attendance I've got a friend who's going (he's Canadian, been waiting to see them in a WC his whole life, etc, etc) and he says it was easy to get tickets for every day he's there, sometimes more than one match per day. No idea how he's going to get between the venues or what his wife and baby think of the whole thing. I was glad to hear he rented an apartment and isn't staying in a fan village.

Failed Imagineer posted:Has the advantage of being true for Canada and US at least From what I've learned watching street food shows, Mexico probably already has some drink with Budweiser and bacon plus some extras like chili peppers, Doritos, gummy bears and whipped cream. It's also deep fried somehow and covered in mayo and cheese sauce and tastes amazing.

the sex ghost posted:I personally don't think any shady poo poo is likely since it seems like a lot of effort for some senior committee guy to whisper in someones ear to take their time with the paramedics in the case of this one mildly annoying journalist, given they don't seem particularly bothered by bad PR. Pretty much agree for a couple reasons. Mostly because they have faced zero repercussions from all the reporting so far, ignoring it has been an incredibly effective strategy. Why do anything more? And that's the second reason, there's so much laziness and lack of interest in everything I've seen from this world cup that taking out a journalist at a high-profile public event just seems incredibly out of character. Useful uselessness seems like the most likely cause, imo. It's still a horrible tragedy and his body should be repatriated ASAP though.
