It boils my p**s. I really like the England Cricket too, but won't pay Sky's prices. It's a cartel and totally wrong. x
Why can England, Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Russia and any other countries who oppose this move just refuse/boycott the tournament. It wasnt sold as a winter world cup. Sue FIFA for misrepresentation. Anything to f*ck Blatter and the other useless greedy b*stards at FIFa is fine by me.
I won't pay for Sky sports or the likes, so it would be a case of watch it down the pub or not at all if it's not on terrestrial TV..
no mate just hit wiziwig on google chrome its clean, if you have chrome download ad block on google extentions
Joe Kinnear will look into the problem and find a solution !, by then he will be prime minister, and the mags will have won the world club championship, Champions league, Premier league, Europa league, F A cup, league cup, Johnstons paint trophy under his guidance.
I like the scenario by billpev, but my worry is that Plattini as head of football in Europe would then make sanctions against all the countries that go against FIFA. After all Plattini has ideas of succeeding Blatter and bends over every time. As has been stated these arse wipes need to be put out to pasture, preferably in the *****lian outback.
FIFA is now planning to host the 2022 World Cup in Qatar in November rather than January, a source at the governing body told kicker. FIFA president Sepp Blatter has confirmed that he intends to ask for the tournament to be held in the winter as temperatures in the Gulf state can reach 50°C during the summer. It was initially expected that the tournament would be brought forward to January 2012, but kicker reports the intention is now to move it to November that year, with the final set to take place on December 18. A winter World Cup would have a significant effect on domestic football across Europe. The major leagues in the continent all kick off in the summer, with the Russian Premier League changing its schedule to follow the same pattern a year ago, and will face severe disruption as a result of the Qatar tournament. The planned change had been backed by Bayern Munich CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and the German Football Leagueâs executive Andreas Rettig. However, former German Football Association president Theo Zwanziger has warned that a winter World Cup would have a serious effect on European leagues and could also put the âunity of German footballâ in danger. Richard Scudamore, chief executive of the Premier League, also spoke out again Thursday against the season change. Scudamore has long been a critic of such a switch, contending it would disrupt Europe's domestic soccer leagues. Now, he said he is more troubled than ever after Blatter's recent reversal. "Of course one is worried. We're not silly. We can see that that's the way the momentum is shifting," he said from Hong Kong Thursday. Zwanziger, a member of the FIFA executive committee, told Sport Bild: âIf you change the match calendar, it not only affects Bundesliga but also goes all the way down to the minor leagues. The structure of German football is in danger and therefore the unity of German football.â The 68-year old added: âIf the decision [to award the World Cup to Qatar] was wrong back then you have to reverse it and should not load extra burdens on non-participants.â Zwanziger said he had little hope that FIFA would change its plans. âLooking at the executive committee and the interests there, the proposition will get the vote. I am curious to find out what U.S. association president Sunil Gunati, who is new in the committee, will vote for,â he said. The United States had also made a bid for the 2022 World Cup but lost out to Qatar. A vote among the 27 FIFA executive committee members is set for October at the next conference.
They can **** off, European leagues need to get together to collectively refuse to release players for the tournament. They're contracted to the clubs not the Fifa money making bandwagon.
Sure the German FA said they would sue Fifa if they did it…Can imagine all of the FA's just telling them to p*ss off
This could be the straw that breaks the camels back on that one. It's everything The PDC effect just said. Bout time FIFA was stood up too.
How about the European teams withdraw and host a European tournament that summer. Lets see their arses twitch.
The fa and other uefa parties must take a stand against fifa here like ****in love the euros and world cups but i would have no part in it at all out of principle, its what the summer is for
