Grimbeard Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I'm beginning to wonder if this story hasn't been deliberately leaked by FIFA, as a way of getting out of the shambles they created for themselves when they gave the competition to a country where it's 40c. in the shade.

McRamFan Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 The problem with FIFA is that one bent official does know what the other bent official is doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davenportram Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Maybe FIFA are leaking stuff so they can say the vote was rigged and give it someone sensible, with infrastructure in place already.

skippy1996 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 They are picking for terrible hosts, should just give it to either Europe, USA, Canda, Japan, South Korea or Australia. There the only ones who can host without trouble, South Africa, Brazil, Russia and Qatar all jokes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 America are strong favourites. Hold on, they had it recently! Bog off! It's our turn! FIFA are ***** scared that we'll do another "Olympics" and every event after will be ham shank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Ram Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 There is plenty of booz in Qatar, in all the hotels and sports bars/clubs. I'm allowed to type ***** because of my disclaimer "Prolific Piffle Poster". You're fairly new here and may not be aware I don't know what I'm typing about most of the time, all the guys (and ladies) that post the proper stuff know the score and don't take me too seriously. That said, it's good you redress the balance and let people (like me) know Qatar is not indeed a "dry" country when we might have mistakenly believed it was. * Welcome to the forum by the way.

Spanish Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 The answer is to stop the bidding process so as to limit the ability to receive bribes (therefore it won't happen). How about 11 countries are chosen as the permanent locations. The groups are played in 8 of those, half the round of 16 and quarters are played at a further 2 and the semis, playoff and final at the last. Means it will be 40 years between hosting finals but every 4 years at least part of the circus comes to town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamNut Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I doubt whether the bribes really were bribes. Qatar was the obvious choice surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perky1106 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 This could also to be to distract from the potential shitstorm surrounding Russia 2018 if Putin tries to invade Ukraine and the Baltic states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If by some miracle there is a revote, it would surely come down to the US and Australia. It will, as always, come down to who pays the biggest bribes. Then six months later there will be an exposé in another paper, FIFA will conduct an investigation, question the validity of the vote, decide for 'transparency' to choose another host based upon the same wheelbarrow of cash criteria, and so the circus goes on. If they are careful, they could do it half a dozen times before 2022. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
