Football / Soccer / Calcio / Futebol / Fußball

I really hope the ECA rejects another winter World Cup after the issues that are happening now. They won't, but I still hope they will

Not only did they persist with the Qatar sham after being caught red handed, they've gone and done it again, they are shameless. The civilised countries should've pulled out of this corrupt Swiss organisation and formed our own governing body when we had the chance.

Fifa needs to be abolished. Bunch of corrupted fucks running it

Lol and all that speech over the end of single hosts

It's actually impressive at this point how fucking shameless these scum cunts are

They are very clearly aware of the huge levels of backlash and also how fucking stupid this decision is for football and non-football related reasons, yet they don't care.

Another winter world cup then?

2038 will have to be CONCACAF again for the same reasons too.

That's probably how this is getting passed, give the Americans (Let's face it we're not having a world cup in the Carribbean) 2 World cups in quick succession under the table and then the FBI won't act.

Whole thing is corrupt all the way through, it is a cascading domino effect of tit for tat corruption. There won't be a proper World cup bidding process until at LEAST 2042, and even then odds are not good.

"The Saudi bid moved me..... TO A BIGGER HOUSE!"

- FIFA

cmon FBI, do your thing lol

Fuck it, football is gonna be dead by 2034 anyway

Today I feel Saudi.

The beautiful game has turned ugly

Than back to USA for the 2038 World Cup as I can’t see any countries in Oceania hosting the competition.

I still haven’t got over how they disallowed the first goal against Qatar in the past World Cup for no reason at all. I wonder what shenanigans we’ll see at this one..

Stop trying to make Saudi Arabia happen. It's not going to happen.

Shocked...... I tell you I'm truly and utterly shocked. Who saw that coming? Not me that's for sure.

Football is dead and has been for a while

I can’t see UEFA & the “big 5” leagues being happy about another WC mid season.

People about to lose their heads over this (literally)

If you groused about Qatar and watched anyway, this one’s on you.

Start pressuring for a boycot now, dont wait till 2034

Not shocked at all tbh. The moment they gave it to Qatar it was obvious Saudi will get it at some point. Football's been fucked for a while, won't get any better sadly.

I fully predict a disaster. World Cups are driven by alcohol sales. That’s why Bud and InBev are such strong advertisers for the World Cup. If there is no alcoholic sales I don’t see how FIFA could make that same money back

Less goo!!

Travesty

Will surely be played in winter as well

Shock

Let’s go

Nothing more to add, than what everybody already said at this point. I am wondering: how did the WC in Qatar actually fare in terms of reach and sales and what-not? Letting SA and Qatar host are clear corrupt decisions by FIFA execs to get as much cash in their personal pockets as they can but that would only be sustainable if they kept up the viewership of the WC as much as before. Are there any numbers out there?

What a travesty

This will be like when I played FM until the year 2050... I didn't even care to do it anymore because I no longer recognized any players and their achievements seemed minimal compared to the monsters of today and before.

These cunts would let Gilead host the world cup if they bribed them enough.

Wow.. shocking ..

Simon Brodkin (Aka Lee Nelson), brought the world’s attention to the corruption that is FIFA. Is anyone actually surprised?

Reddit wants SA to modernise but hates this… I don’t get it

I’m going to puke.

Fifa:

1. Award WC2030 to three continents with some dumb reasoning that everyone hates.
2. Only accept applications from Oceania and Asia for WC2034 with a tight deadline, knowing only SA will apply
3. no ... needed
4. Profit

And nobody can claim the awarding was corrupt as they had no other choice than to give it to SA.

Wish these cunts would be arrested and jailed for their entire lifetimes.

What an absolute fucking disgrace.

Fuck FIFA.
