Its not a surprise when you look at Brazil alone, some of their world cup stadiums are in locations they do not have teams. One of them has been used twice since the world cup, for a concert and for a wedding. He purchased every vote today, he just purchased them years ago.
Not surprised at all, of course. Australia was probably the only country in the Asian Confederation that voted against Blatter. Them and Africa are corrupt to the core.
Blatter's "success" was built on the "one member, one vote" principle; the US Virgin Islands playing off the USA and so forth. He harnessed democracy to suit his own ends. But by manipulating the minnows he forgot about the sharks and it is the sharks that ill now tear him apart. By not quitting when he had the chance, the egotistical little power junkie has gone one step too far and he has signed his own death warrant.
Perhaps in his feeble mind he neglected to recognise that God and Allah are one and the same. UEFA and the FA need to boycott this shower of ****e.
Time for a breakaway organisation which includes the big boys and any smaller nation who wants to join. As long as the minnows know they are not on an equal footing as the footballing powerhouses who would call the shots. Let the African nations and all the other no marks( Scotland included) have their own tournaments. See how much sponsorship and interest they get. FIFA should take a look at communism and see how that worked out. All nations are not footballing equals. FACT.
If it's right and South America USA and Australia voted against the equation is simple!!!!!! They would jump at the chance if playing in a Euro competition in 2018. A 32 team tournament would be superb played in Germany /Turkey the UK or maybe even a scandanavian tournament with Denmark/Sweden/Norway Bring it on I say then see FIFA crumble before our eyes
I agree. Call it the IFF ( International Football Federation) or something similar World Cup and have it every two years, binning off the Euro's. Just proper footballing nations competing in proper footballing countries.
Are you seriously suggesting that African countries and tinpot Arab monarchies like Qatar are not equal to the footballing giants of Germany, Brasil and Spain? Racist.
The U.S. just announced that they plan on bidding for the next World Cup and want to host it in Death Valley.
