  1. I confess...I always thought it was kuh-TAR. I'm pretty sure I will mispronounce it on purpose every single time.
  2. I wish someone would have asked Sarah Palin if Qatar was a real country before today.
  3. Today's farce raises an interesting question: who, other than maybe China, will even want to bid for 2026? The US will, as of today though China is not even eligible for it. When is the vote for 2026 is in after the 2018 games?
  4. If thats the actually round by round break down this looks even worse than I could have imagined it. Australia and England going out in the 1st round is horrible.
  5. Where did you find that. So they probably picked up all of Australia's votes. To lose to them 12-10 would be one thing but that was not even very close, looks even worse on FIFA's part.
  6. I am proud of FIFA for finally passing the IOC in terms of corruption.
  7. It's going to be a South American best XI. 12 years is plenty of time to go buy off some parents from Argentina and Brazil to move there. [expletive] this is FIFA, they don't even have to move. Just pay for the processing fee of the paperwork + $10million and your done.
  8. Here's a fun exercise: try to find 15 sites in the state of Rhode Island to host games, plus sites for training grounds. All within the state border. What a stupid idea. When do the vote rolls go public? They may not go public though it is thought they will. I'm sure the british press will get them some how regardless though. Transportation is going to be the biggest problem. They are going to have to build additional airports just for the WC.
  9. Thats' awesome. The Dow is now up 100 points upon hearing that oil still controls the world.
  10. Can we replace Sunil now!
  11. I really want to see the rounds of voting published soon.
  12. I hope the BBC goes off on this with the corruption that took place. Oil won this bid for two countries.
  13. What a [expletive] joke
  14. I would laugh my ass off if Prince William just stood up and flipped off Blatter.
  15. Australia went to Asia from Oceania in 2007. 2018 = Russia. Yay! I'm actually psyched to go to Russia. Always wanted to. Thats right forgot about that with Australia getting screwed in the playoff with Conmebol.
  16. Russia win 2018
  17. For whatever reason I am now picturing the shieks from Cannonball Run.
  18. Live Video http://www.fifa.com/worldcup/bidders/live/index.html
  19. I thought China was expected to be next in line? 2026. Due to rules, if Qatar gets 2022, China can't get 2026. Oh, didn't realize they were in the same group. How often do those get rearranged? I couldn't tell you the last time that happen. But not often.
  20. Al-Jazeera has backtracked according to sky. Down to the US and Qatar they are claiming.
  21. Rumors are now that England went out in the 1st round. If the voting is still going on who is the surpise bid pushing this so far. Please be Holland/Belgium.
  22. Oh man I didn't even think about that. Do they even have a team? WTF Btw, Al Jazeera is reporting it is indeed Qatar. Not yet but the checks are in the mail for the current Brazil U13 team.
  23. If Qatar gets it can we at least get their group draw as a consolation prize?
  24. No need for the handshakes, the blank checks have already cleared the bank.
  25. Does that mean anything for one of the candidates? Or just that it's wide open and no favorite? Depends on who the last two left standing are and how the votes shift after eliminating a country.
