[USABlue]

Just wa

Just watched the press conference both WC's will go ahead in the original countries.

according to FIFA. obviously that is the most likely scenario that they'll stay where they are but who knows what will come out in these reports and trials

I can't see Russia having there's taken away

We're far enough away from Qatar that it could be allocated elsewhere

I personally hope Australia get it if there's a re-vote

 

[Groucho]

didn't the US and UK come in 2nd and 3rd in some order for both the 2018 and 2022 bids? just give each one as it's obvious russia and qatar bought them

edit: we weren't up for 2018 it was spain/portugal who got 2nd behind russia

2018 UK and 2022 US or Australia would be good.

There was a piece on the radio about this last night and apparently Australia only got 1 vote and England 2 for the 2022 WC. You need 13+ to win.

A sports editor from The Times was being interviewed and by the sounds of it Blatter is only hanging in for another term to ensure both Russia and Qatar deliver whats promised to him $$$

Can't see the U S getting it for quite some time if these chaps - and possibly others - are prosecuted in New York. Not a forgiving man, our Sepp.

He'll be even less forgiving when he's behind bars.........

There ain't gonna be no re-vote.

Nothing will come of all this.

I wonder why ?

This is where the Executive commitee member from Nigeria used to live in November 2010

..... and this is his house in December 2010 after the vote

Some good reading in here.....Sorry if it's been posted before, or if it belongs in the 'FIFA arrested' thread.

Spanish football league becomes first to take legal action over Qatar World Cup dates

FIFA’s weather-related move of the 2022 World Cup from to November-December has its first legal challenge.

The Spanish league has filed an appeal against FIFA’s decision to switch the tournament’s dates due to searing summer temperatures in Qatar, saying the 8-week break midway through the season would cost the league close to $72 million.
