Mr. Snrub Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Anyone reckon this is actually Gareth Bale? (Sorry you had to see that! ) A friend of mine posted it on FB, somewhere in Cambridge. I just don't think it's him.

What is your quarrel with Cisse? Also, Ghana v. Egypt Tunisia v. Cameroon Burkina Faso v. Algeria The Ghana-Egypt matches will be hot.

aussiemag Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 The Football Federation of Australia is demanding $43 million in compensation from FIFA, for the whole world cup bidding debacle. FOOTBALL Federation Australia have requested FIFA provide compensation for the $43 million spent on Australia's unsuccessful World Cup bid. The FFA’s bold move comes in the wake of FIFA manouverings to play the 2022 World Cup in Qatar during the winter months to avoid the Arab state’s searing summer temperatures. Australia’s bid was predicated on the tournament being played during the European summer, as per tradition, to avoid a clash with lucrative club competitions. The FFA have asked FIFA to make “an in-principle decision that just and fair compensation should be paid to those nations that invested many millions, and national prestige, in bidding for a summer event” if the tournament is shifted to Qatar’s winter. Australia’s football governing body has also suggested that, should FIFA shift the tournament to Qatar’s winter, “a transparent process should be established to examine the scheduling implications for all leagues and a method developed for agreeing appropriate compensation for those affected.” “We will be seeking compensation for the full amount spent, every cent, if the tournament moves (to Qatar’s winter),” an FFA source said. “We’ll be looking for a full refund.” FFA chairman Frank Lowy advised FIFA not to rush a decision on shifting seasons for the 2022 World Cup at their executive committee meeting on October 3. Lowy clarified Australia’s position in a letter to FIFA president Sepp Blatter in July. “Australia invested heavily in the World Cup process and the entire nation was behind the bid,” Lowy said. “Since December 2010 Australia has been careful not to let its misgivings about the process be interpreted as sour grapes. “But now, with increasing speculation about a change that will impact on us as one of the bidding nations, and because our competition will be affected, we have made our position public. “Our season takes place during the Australian summer to avoid a clash with other local football codes, a move that was necessary because the A-League simply could not get access to the high standard stadiums required as they were being used by other codes during the Australian winter. “If the World Cup were to be staged in the middle of our A-League season it would impact on our competition, not just for 2022, but for the seasons leading up to and beyond that date. “Clubs, investors, broadcasters, players and fans would all be affected. “FIFA has an opportunity now to make the best of a bad situation by embarking on a transparent and orderly approach, unlike the process that led to the original flawed decision in December 2010. “FIFA champions the notion of ‘Fair Play’ and that principle should apply to the decisions it makes in the coming months.” Lowy added that FIFA should not make a decision on shifting the seasons for the Qatar tournament until FIFA’s ethics committee, chaired by Mr Michael Garcia, finished its inquiries into the 2022 World Cup bidding process. “Better to let the independent investigative process run its natural course and then, with those issues settled, make a clear-eyed assessment about rescheduling and its consequences,” Lowy said.
