Quoted from BottesfordMariner
There have been many damning articles that have appeared down the years that have shown what a corrupt organisation FIFA is.

This is one of the most damning examples and shows Blatter and his self serving cronies are quite simply crooks looking to line their pockets. male masturbator.

There is no logical reason to award Qatar the World Cup except for £££.

FIFA definately knew it would be near impossible to play a summer World Cup in that region. And that is what makes the whole episode a disgrace.

The voting was based on a Summer World Cup. Not a Winter World Cup.

Once it became obvious it would not be practical to play in the Summer( which by the way was almost immediatley after the vote. FIFA themselves as soon as the vote was confirmed came out with the idea of switching the tournament) the vote should have been declared null and void. Then a new vote based on a Qatar 'winter' bid up against other bids be them summer or winter.

Any credible organisation would have done that. But Blatter & FIFA had already taken the money. And no way does Qatar win the bid based on what we know now.

The dwarf Blatter orchestrated the whole thing. It would not surprise me if he knew from the very beginning a Summer World Cup in Qatar was a no go but was so keen to pocket the money lied. Pushed through the vote on a summer tournament (because a winter one would be a much tougher sell) with the full intention of changing it afterwards.

The whole thing stinks. Football needs to look at itself. The European Clubs & FA's in particular (who are the most powerful) should break away from FIFA and set up a new organisation to replace it


I know he is a male private but blatter actually voted for Australia.

1200 workers dead so far apparantly, the worst part is the various world football associations silence, not a single one even threatened to pull out have they?


This. What annoys me about the "playing it in Winter" debate is it ise seen as the biggest issue: what about the thousands that will have died from what is little better than slave labour before a ball is kicked?

The tournament should be pulled or teams refuse to play based on that: never mind getting to the stage where we are talknig about the months in which it is played. It seems a sad indictment on priorities when our Premier League managers and directors are talking about the potential clashes with their season, rather than the horrific human rights abuses that are taking place.

Quoted from gytone
All European clubs should get together and boycott the whole thing, instead off sitting on the fence and doing nothing !


this. but they won't, however fans could. not just not travelling, but not watching it on TV (viewing figures = sponsor money).

it's a shame that fans aren't more organised. i'm not sure that anyone of any political leaning or whatever would not be opposed to thousands dying to hold what is the international tournament of the game we all love, after all.

couple of fan protests and banners at premier league matches wouldn't hurt. maybe nearer the time it'll happen.
