Corrupt. Games gone.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Ups. They did it again

🤮

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

All these virtue signallers here, you just know once the first game kicks off the match threads will be going off like a frog in a sock

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Nice. Better than a join bid with Egypt and Greek

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Fuck FIFA. Driving the game we love into the ground to line their pockets

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Hooray corruption!!!!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Simon Brodkin (Aka Lee Nelson), brought the world’s attention to the corruption that is FIFA. Is anyone actually surprised?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Not shocked at all tbh. The moment they gave it to Qatar it was obvious Saudi will get it at some point. Football's been fucked for a while, won't get any better sadly.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

cmon FBI, do your thing lol

Game's gone

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Fuck's sake, man.

Fifa:

  1. Award WC2030 to three continents with some dumb reasoning that everyone hates.
  2. Only accept applications from Oceania and Asia for WC2034 with a tight deadline, knowing only SA will apply
  3. no ... needed
  4. Profit

And nobody can claim the awarding was corrupt as they had no other choice than to give it to SA.

I hope every single fifa member gets indicted the second they step foot in the US for 2026. Disgusting organization

"Some of you are alright. Don't come to the FIFA convention tomorrow."

Yeah, this is a case of them having an answer and deciding the question later, for sure !

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I'm still holding out hope that Japan and S.Korea can get a joint bid together. But who are we kidding, FIFA want that oil money more than anything. If they could scrap the rules and just have the middle east become a permanent host of the competition every time they would.

A one month deadline to apply for a World Cup, that takes place in 11 years, is fucking absurd.

Summer WC with beer please

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

What an absolute fucking disgrace.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It's incredible that they cooked up the 3 continent strategy just to give 2034 to the Saudis.

Absolutely brazen, not even trying to hide it at this point.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (8 children)

Why bother hiding it? Whats gonna happen? They have a total stranglehold on this sport and there is no way out. The old world is dying, the new world struggles to be born. Now is the time of Monsters.

It's actually impressive at this point how fucking shameless these scum cunts are

They are very clearly aware of the huge levels of backlash and also how fucking stupid this decision is for football and non-football related reasons, yet they don't care.

Than back to USA for the 2038 World Cup as I can’t see any countries in Oceania hosting the competition.

Fuck it, football is gonna be dead by 2034 anyway

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

It's a disgrace but I'm not surprised

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

The beautiful game has turned ugly

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I still haven’t got over how they disallowed the first goal against Qatar in the past World Cup for no reason at all. I wonder what shenanigans we’ll see at this one..

Absolute disgrace

What a pleasent surprise!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Game's gone.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I’m surprised they didn’t get 2030 tbh they spent so much money to get Africa votes

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Great, another World Cup I won’t go to. I’ve always wanted to go (been to Euros). Guess it’s the next two or bust for me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Shocked...... I tell you I'm truly and utterly shocked. Who saw that coming? Not me that's for sure.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Stop trying to make Saudi Arabia happen. It's not going to happen.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

That's assuming football still exists in 2034.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

"The Saudi bid moved me..... TO A BIGGER HOUSE!"

- FIFA

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

2038 will have to be CONCACAF again for the same reasons too.

That's probably how this is getting passed, give the Americans (Let's face it we're not having a world cup in the Carribbean) 2 World cups in quick succession under the table and then the FBI won't act.

Whole thing is corrupt all the way through, it is a cascading domino effect of tit for tat corruption. There won't be a proper World cup bidding process until at LEAST 2042, and even then odds are not good.

F*ck FIFA! The system is rotten…

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I hope it fails miserably and FIFA learn a lesson.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

It‘s so fucking wild to me that everyone just accepts that.

Fuck Fifa, and fuck that shit as well.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I’m going to puke.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

It's too late, we... gone

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I can’t see UEFA & the “big 5” leagues being happy about another WC mid season.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Football is dead and has been for a while
