That was certainly dodgy as fuck.
Most certainly. I can understand one of the tournaments "awarded" going to the Middle East. The fact that the Euro's were just shared by Poland and the Ukraine is taking the piss. I know Poland/Ukraine isn't Russia, but the Euro's are a major tournament, broadcasted around the world. The last World Cup here was in 1994. Since then we have started a new league from scratch that is making major headway 15+years on. If Septic Blatter wants to "better the game" he would surely want to go to a country with a huge potential fanbase and $$$$$ to spend rather than a country with limited population but rich owners/princes that can build stadiums for the event. Mind you stadiums that are already built here in the United States. Whose pockets are you lining? Your own, piss off.
Fuck off. You've had a World Cup 18 years ago. Greedy spoilt brat. It should go to a decent country which could benefit from it, and where the people are actually interested in proper sports.
