OddJob Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 Sepp Blatter should do the right thing and fucking resign NOW. Absolute clown Link to comment
daytripping Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 It would have been entertaining watching people collapse in the heat, pity they shifted it. Hard to believe they never thought of this when awarding the finals to that place, must have been some huge backhanders. Link to comment
Bluto10 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 i dunno dayts. regardless of air cond stadium,s its nae as if football has never been played in horrendous temperatures before; usa94 and mexico. not to mention the altitude in mexico as well as the heat. i think the heat issue is a bit overstated.

BrianFaePerth Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 As somebody pointed out on the BBC site, they submitted a bid for a Summer World Cup. Only the Aussies and other antipodean inbreds consider it Summer in January. Link to comment
Bluto10 Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 Who really gives a fuck? exactly.its still the WC. as long as its still every 4 years i couldnt care less when they stage it. Link to comment
Ingolfsson Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 They can't reverse the decision without compensating Qatar. It will be played there. I tend to agree the World Cup should be played around the world. Greenland better get their stadium building up to scratch for when it's their turn. I was in Doha a wee while ago and asked three different shops at the international airport if they had any World Cup merchandise. They each said, "what World Cup?" It's in 9 years' time FFS.

It's a fucking desert Bluto. Nothing lives there, apart from air-conditioned arabs. Link to comment

OK, nae great choice of country. but a middle east one should not be ruled out on temp basis alone give it to them all.get dubai and abu dhabi in on it. Link to comment
daytripping Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 They should make it every 2 years, 4 years is too long. Link to comment
dave_min Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 They should make it every 2 years, 4 years is too long. And if that can't be done, we should create a slightly smaller tournament (maybe for just a single continent) to play in the years inbetween. Link to comment
daytripping Posted September 19, 2013 Share Posted September 19, 2013 And if that can't be done, we should create a slightly smaller tournament (maybe for just a single continent) to play in the years inbetween. The Euros should be every 2 years as well, that way we get a tournament every year to look forward too, it's so genius I'm surprised no one has thought of it before. Link to comment

Nit. The World Cup should be held every 4 years. In summer. In proper football nations or at least places that aren't 55 degrees. BOOOOOOOO Link to comment

chaos_defrost Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Stinks of corruption. The fans didn't want it in Qatar and the players won't have wanted it in Qatar either. Everyone's going on about how it's not a suitable place to hold that sort of event so they move it to the winter. Now no one wants it in the winter either. Sums up everything that's wrong with football. FIFA just an absolute joke. Link to comment
E-P-K Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Well well well, Breaking news, the 2022 Qatar WC will NOT be held in the summer. Shambles. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25653594 Link to comment
Bluto10 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 big storm in a tea cup. why shouldnt the M.E. get the W.C.? is the country a fuckin dump? yes. but should it be moved (place and time)? no should they use air coned stadiums? maybe if they dont? no big deal, itll be just like orlando in 94 and mexico in 86.

thedandydon Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Will it though? We've had Winter shutdowns in the past, can't see this having much more impact than those did. Link to comment
Dynamo Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Will it though? We've had Winter shutdowns in the past, can't see this having much more impact than those did. Yeah. Even with a 2 month shut down the season would still run til July or something. Link to comment
360 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 This is a big fuss over nothing. So the World Cup will be played in the winter... boo hoo. Link to comment
The Boofon Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 This is a big fuss over nothing. So the World Cup will be played in the winter... boo hoo. It'll be summertime in Australia. They've always had a winter World Cup the poor bastards. About time they got the good end of the stick. Link to comment
Henry Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 You have to admire FIFA's brass neck and trolling of England today. Shameless. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30044791 Link to comment

dave_min Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Read earlier that the boy who wrote the report says the summary mis-represents what his report actually says. Even bluto could see there was something suspicious about Qatar being awarded the World Cup. Russia still seems like a decent enough choice. Link to comment
