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

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

      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…

      Funny enough, Palestinian flags are banned in the SPL.

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

    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.

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

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

    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.

    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.
