KaKa Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 This. What are you basing all the "it was the shittiest World Cup I've watched" on? It was s*** to watch on the tv? Oh I'm sure it would have been f***ing awesome if it had been in England.... There wouldn't have been f***ing vuvuzelas destroying the atmosphere in every f***ing match for a start. Probably best that England don't ever win it then. Just in case the South Africans bring their vuvuzelas with them. South Africa won't make it to WCs they're not hosting, so no. Wrong!

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Multi Millionaire footballers, 67 million just to premier league agents last year, Meanwhile hundreds of thousands of us are bled dry in grass roots football The hypocracy of our bid, talking nonsense of helping billions of youngsters through the empty rhetoric of 'Football United' whatever that means. I could not think of anyone better to represent the paper thin facade of our game where everything is syphoned off to the top than a Royal prince, an old Etonian prime minister and the grotesqe ubercelebrity of brand Beckham. Shed no tears for any of them, they will continue to line their pockets, that should heal their pain at least. Some interesting points indeed.

Colocho Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 It's ridiculous, Russia is understandable + the world doesn't take us seriously anymore. The country is passionate about football and it has the capability to host the World Cup. Qatar has a fucking population of 1 million people! It's ranke...d 113th in the world, footballing wise. Are you telling me the people of that country will appreciate a World Cup and everything it brings as much as us, Spain or Holland for example? It's a joke, all it's about is who will pay the most for a vote. Footballing legacy my arse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 wonder if this has something to do with it 2010 Press Freedom Index rankings: Qatar 121st (out of 178), Russia 140th (just ahead of Malaysia!). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubaricho Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 They mentioned something on the local broadcast here about Sepp Blatter vying for a Nobel Peace Prize by giving it to these types of countries, especially considering that Qatar said that they would recognize Israel for the WC if they were to make it.

Ketsbaia Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 another reason why FIFA are an absolute joke. there is no good reason why any of those countries should've won and clearly they're corrupted. if i worked for them, i'd be embarassed tbh (and rich). this had nothing to do with bid quality and all to do with politics and the ego of Sepp "I gave Africa the World Cup, now I give it to the Middle East" Blatter so all the hellholes he gave WCs to can say how great he was at his funeral. if sportugain and usa/australia won, then fair enough - i get it. but russia and qatar? nah sorry, that is completely out of order. but to finish below holland/belgium Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
