Maybe a game of 3 thirds now someone needs to confiscate blatters supply of exotic smoking materials. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...ee-halves-in-the-40-degree-heat-of-Qatar.html Cheers Mabon
Interesting that's in the Telegraph, and I trust them more than I trust the Daily Mail, who've claimed the games wouldn't be adjusted...http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...2022-Qatar-World-Cup-games-played-thirds.html (link provided for A Casual Fan ). Having said that, my gut feeling is the Mail are right, and they wouldn't alter the game for the sake of the world cup. If they DID change it to three periods/thirds/rounds/whatever the hell else the Americans call those things in sports divided into stupid sections... then I'd expect it to be for advertising reasons, being able to screen more adverts during the game etc. The Superbowl half time adverts cost some ridiculous figure for a 30 second spot!
Blatter is well passed his sell by date,he is selling to the highest bidder and sod the integrity of the game.the next stage will be 4 quarters nd whooopeeedooo American football.i think not Sep......or at least i hope not !!
With all the money and corruption in football at that level and Blatter refusing to budge from the top with it looking like he is losing his marbles, i'm predicting a "heart attack" in the next 5-6 months
Just a joke man! You said you'd seen me reference lots of things without providing a link, so I debated doing it for every source I mention, but got bored after 1!
