Terrible video indeed, it looks like a Pepsi commercial!

Though, if voting only depends on the bid's video, I gotta say voters must be either 10 year old kids or very retarded.

Australia is a truly wonderful country. I've always wanted to go there, 2026 will definitely be Australia's to lose if they decided to bid again.

    I'm not sure that is possible, under FIFA's rotation policy. But of course FIFA can do anything at any time, for the right money.

    Nope, and it's going to be a disaster World Cup. Have fun with it though because it's probably the first and last Arab World Cup.

    Surely it will be the first, but no way will it be the last. UAE is going to host a world cup soon as well. They too deserve it. We already have the club world cup here, and FIFA know how capable the UAE is.

    Its actually quite obvious that the likes of Andy, Burke, Luca and the rest know nothing about Qatar, i'm willing to bet they never heard of it before their WC bid. Its all just them being very bitter and not accepting of the fact that they got beaten fair and square. Questions like "will women be allowed in stadiums", and "will alcohol be available" just shows their knowledge of the country.

    No one's really talking about England's bid, which was under scrutiny due to the FIFA bribery scandal nor the fact that this type of shady business has supposedly been going on since 1990...which means every WC host since then is controversial.

    “It’s very difficult to understand what happened and why it happened, and it raises a question: how this World Cup is voted for,".

    "You would like to have much more technical criteria than human criteria. You could imagine you could have 100 criteria for example with a different weight and you put that in a computer and the best comes out.

    “It doesn’t look right in modern life that people have to go and lobby and say 'please believe in us’.

    "Is the suspicion right or wrong, I don’t know, but you don’t want a vote of that importance to have suspicion.”


    "I’m very sad because I supported that [England] bid as much as I could,”.

    “I am sad for the people who have a passion in their country for football. I don’t believe Fifa was conscious of how much it meant to people here."

    - Wenger


    Looks like the boss is bitter too, well he can fuck off as well. Forza Russia , Arshavin should tell Wenger to shut his trap :tup:

    I can't believe I just read the entire 34 pages of this thread. Too much ignorance, too much hate, too much bias and so much humour. I think this is my favourite thread and I am glad I did not participate in it.

    Ok, I just did but I'm out now.

    Ahmed, I usually agree with a lot of your posts, but Qatar having more of a football culture than Australia?

    ROFL.

    Absolute hogwash.

    Yeah, the football culture brought to Australia by the Italians and the Balkans probably puts Australia ahead of Qatar in that regard.
    I guess he wanted to say that football is no.1 sport in Qatar and it's not in Australia.

    yes, that's what I meant.

    it still lags behind cricket, rugby, and even AFL.
