Infantino be like: "today i feel corrupt"

Weren’t they the only contender to hold the event? What else would you do? Doing things got so expensive that countries don’t look at holding events the same as before.

As long as FIFA doesnt investigate itself, nothing is gonna happen anyway

"As long as FIFA doesnt investigate itself, nothing is gonna happen anyway

You mean as long as someone else doesn't investigate FIFA.

Fifa investigating themselves will end up in "we've investigated ourself and found nothing wrong".

The sport-industrial complex is just a complex machine to white wash authoritarian states.

For the love of God, please, anybody besides Saudi Arabia, bid!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

You got what you want. Joint bid Iran/North Korea/Sudan

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Fucking Monkey-paw at it again.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Iran if you left the whole fundemendalism aside would be awesome

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Joint bid by Israel and Palestine

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What's the point? They will give it to Saudi anyways

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Infantino was in Saudi Arabia last week, blocked roads for his bald ass head and caused traffic during rush hour, it’s already decided

Only earlier this month Indonesia was in talks to co-host with Malaysia, Singapore and Australia. Malaysia basically said no we're not interested to host right now, and Aus pulled out today. Not sure where Indonesia are at now.

Other SE Asia countries were proposing a bid that hasn't happened. Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan have shown interest to host but no bid.

Which only leaves Saudi...

Japan&Korea 2 eletric boogaloo

No word of a lie if India were to bid I'd be incredibly interested.

Guam, Saipan and Tinian lets go

They can't hear you. They have hundred dollar bills stuffed in their ears.

Almost as if handing the stewardship of the game to a bunch of Swiss based lawyers and bankers was a stupid idea

Probably a tad too late for Ronaldo to win a World Cup.

If they didn’t like seeing Palestine flags at games. They’re in for a surprise lol.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Funny enough, Palestinian flags are banned in the SPL.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I don't blame them, the SPL has enough on its hands with Catholic/Protestant sectarianism.

Today, I feel rich

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

This is beyond hilarious. So FIFA got caught red handed by awarding Qatar 2022 WC. Not long after, they decide to use similar tricks - bribes - to award Saudi Arabia.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Lets see if any country's FA has a spine and will boycott. After qualifying, just for maximum carnage.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Now all FIFA has to do is find a way of prohibiting Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Israel, USA and Azerbaijan from qualifying.

FIFA rules? lmao

I skipped watching last World Cup, probably gonna skip the rest because Fuck this shit. The PL is becoming an open-air money laundering bazaar as well, good times.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Salt Bae will be unleashed on every pitch post match.

Today I feel like a rule breaker

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Fifa is the most corrupt organisation there is. Prove me wrong.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

FIFA should be held accountable for any actions that undermine the credibility of the World Cup bidding process.
