It's too late, we... gone

[–] NotAnUncle@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] itailitai@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Game's gone.

[–] J_ablo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I hope it fails miserably and FIFA learn a lesson.

[–] GennyCD@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] millennium-wisdom@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Nice. Better than a join bid with Egypt and Greek

[–] drckeberger@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It‘s so fucking wild to me that everyone just accepts that.

Fuck Fifa, and fuck that shit as well.

[–] SparrowJack1@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

F*ck FIFA! The system is rotten…

[–] EvilJabFace@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

What a fuckn joke!

[–] HeadlessHank@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

What an absolute fucking disgrace.

[–] TheGoldenPineapples@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Fuck's sake, man.

[–] KAY5435@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

Summer WC with beer please

[–] PoroAhri@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Game's gone

[–] flingslingping@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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..

What a pleasent surprise!

[–] eggsbenedict17@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

It's incredible that they cooked up the 3 continent strategy just to give 2034 to the Saudis.

Absolutely brazen, not even trying to hide it at this point.

[–] TigerBasket@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (8 children)

Why bother hiding it? Whats gonna happen? They have a total stranglehold on this sport and there is no way out. The old world is dying, the new world struggles to be born. Now is the time of Monsters.

Fuck it, football is gonna be dead by 2034 anyway

[–] finndestroyer2@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It's a disgrace but I'm not surprised

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.

[–] tipytopmain@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I'm still holding out hope that Japan and S.Korea can get a joint bid together. But who are we kidding, FIFA want that oil money more than anything. If they could scrap the rules and just have the middle east become a permanent host of the competition every time they would.

[–] Chrisixx@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

A one month deadline to apply for a World Cup, that takes place in 11 years, is fucking absurd.

I hope every single fifa member gets indicted the second they step foot in the US for 2026. Disgusting organization

[–] tojotidakbersalah@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Why would they do that? Does FIFA pose a danger against US interests? If Americans does that, people all over the world will hate them even more.

Yeah, this is a case of them having an answer and deciding the question later, for sure !

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

[–] FloppedYaYa@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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.

Great, another World Cup I won’t go to. I’ve always wanted to go (been to Euros). Guess it’s the next two or bust for me.

[–] DemonDerek@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

North Korea 2038

[–] jaytcfc@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I’m going to puke.

[–] tanya_97@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I’m surprised they didn’t get 2030 tbh they spent so much money to get Africa votes

[–] BainbridgeBorn@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Cat-fan137@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Absolute disgrace

[–] FigureItOut50@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That's assuming football still exists in 2034.

[–] JYM60@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
