technically they are different topics,but it is basically the same discussion....go for it

 

[swag]

Isn't the whole point/idea about all this topic and issue having a good organized world cup???

What people seek in WC's other than a good organized ones?

Secondary. If the process were to be optimized for organization, it would never leave the host city every four years.

No. A lot of people want a World Cup to come to their country. Because not everyone can host out, they look into who most deserves the World Cup based on several criteria. Most of those criteria have got to do with telling FIFA what your World Cup is going to be like. Qatar did not have the best bid, so they did not deserve the World Cup. But will they be able to make it decent? Yes.

Then I don't see why you're complaining about it.

You're moaning for Qatar hosting the WC and God forbid who knows, you might be kidnapped in 2014 in Brazil (while attending WC games)...

Being biased isn't good. One should judge the WC when the tournament is over, just like what we all did in 2002 (Korea-Japan) and 2010 (South Africa).

If you let your biased opinion out of you, you might as-well consider the Qatar WC in 12 years to be the most successful. Just saying. You never know.

You should make an appointment to meet in this thread after it's over to discuss.

Sounds like a plan. But I wouldn't want to be alone here with Albert, Jack's son and Dusan, you guys should make an appointment too

Nice, I'll certainly be in Russia, gotta be fun, last time I went there it was really enjoyable in terms of partying and fun people, cheapest cigarettes and vodka I've seen anywere in the world. Quatar sucks in terms of visiting, but at least it's in a decent time-zone, so it's not the worst possible scenario.

Wasn't it Blatter who famously said, "First you get the money, then you get the power, and then you get the women"?

This is the most spot on thing I've heard in a while.

If only my father was a billionaire.

A long awaited congress starring Rab, president of the biggest detergent firm in Romania, Andries, moderately successful pop singer in Belgium, and Greg, head of a multinational that operates in Dubai and South Africa.

No, that was Henry Kissinger. He skipped the money part, went for ten times the power.

Buying votes using other means and bribing using money isn't much different.

Is it known for sure that Q & R bribed voters? I think it's as much a fact that they did as the US and England did.

Is it known for sure? No, although I'm sure information will come out in enough time. Is it most probable? Yes.

England's bribe must have been pretty bad. No, they just sent the big guns in in terms of personnel and a quality bid, wasn't enough, FIFA don't benefit enough from seeing Prince William and David Cameron.

 

[JuveJay]

People are honestly thinking that this is a bid beauty contest? C'mon -- how naive can you get? The only way England will get to host again is when everyone else's European bid falls through or implodes.

And that's the way it should be. I mean, even the Olympics didn't return to Athens for over 100 years...

I was thinking about that. It would be a genius idea if not for the fact that the club calendars of much of the world would clash with it.

If that's the case then one of three things need to happen: FIFA is scrapped as the leading football authority, FIFA reform their voting process, or we scrap the voting process altogether and stop wasting time, money and ambition putting together pointless bids. Just write it on a piece of paper now who is going to have the World Cup, as they 'deserve' it, by virtue of never having it before.

2014 Brasil
2018 Russia
2022 Qatar
2026 Nigeria
2030 Greece
2034 China
2038 Canada
2042 Sweden-Norway
2046 UAE
2050 Morocco
2054 Turkey
2058 Malaysia....

2298 England
2302 USA
2306 Argentina
2310 Antarctica
2314 Moon
2318 North Korea

Easiest way of doing it, no time wasting.

The bid part is like the interview questions at a beauty pageant. Nobody cares what's coming out of your trap if you can stuff a swimsuit.

how very perfectly said.

you sir, should be a poet.

I wonder though, is hosting a major event like this a net gain or less for the host country? They certainly have to front a lot of cash to make it happen, but do they make it up?

will probably be a big net loss in this case.
