taxfree Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Blatantly corrupt too. Ruins so much of everything around the WC. The viewing pleasure, especially. Gone are the days of watching the games outside on a big screen in the warm weather. Urgh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 So will the premier league championship stop for a month? If not it will be hilarious to watch Man City and Others with half a squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flip Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Neebody cared about corruptness when Germany did it for the 2006 World Cup do you believe the two are remotely comparable man? Is there a difference between corruption and corruption? I think the World Cup in Qatar is a bit bad due to the fact that it's a small country with no history in the sport and feel other would be able to probably host a more interesting event. But evidence seems to suggest that both countries won their bids with help of bribes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But evidence seems to suggest that both countries won their bids with help of bribes. it's a difference of perception as you rightly point out, i've no doubt that most of the world cup awards have been down to corruption on some level however awarding it to a nation like germany at least displays a shred of credibility to the decision for the reasons you state even russia could probably be justified on some level given the size of the place despite it's shit football qatar was just laughably corrupt rather than just corrupt really, that's my issue with it, and absolute insult to everyone Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 The Qatar 2022 World Cup bid team ran a secret campaign in 2010 to sabotage competing host bids, according to a report published by the Sunday Times. The paper claims to have seen leaked documents that show the Qatari bid team employed a US PR firm and ex-CIA agents to smear its rivals - mainly the United States and Australia. The alleged aim was to create propaganda to give the impression that a World Cup would not be supported domestically. The Qatar tournament organisers deny the allegations. Such a campaign alleged by the Sunday Times would have broken Fifa's bidding rules. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Kuwait currently sanctioned by FIFA btw, what a fucking mess. Would assume neither Oman nor Kuwait would participate.

Deuce Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Let’s have the World Cup hosted in every country and then the winner is chosen by lopping a head off a chicken and throwing it onto a world map and playing a kazoo for the dancing headless chicken until it flops down on a country and that country wins but FIFA gets billions of dollars.

54 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 The state of Qatar secretly offered $400m to Fifa just 21 days before world football’s governing body controversially decided that the 2022 World Cup would be held in the tiny desert country, leaked documents have revealed. The files, seen by The Sunday Times, show that executives from the Qatari state-run broadcaster Al Jazeera signed a television contract making the huge offer as the bidding campaigns to host the World Cup were reaching a climax. The contract included an unprecedented success fee of $100m that would be paid into a designated Fifa account only if Qatar was successful in it bid to host the 2022 World Cup.

Stifler Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 Yet FIFA will do fuck all. It will still be held in Qatar. Be great if they were stripped of it though and given to us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
