wiegie Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 I wonder what the cops in Qatar are going to do with all half nekkid wimins that dance around in the stadium. The might have to turn one or two of the hotels into jails to hold all of the "infidels". Sharia law is going to be great for the sport! the best part is that alcohol is only allowed to be served in certain hotels in Qatar Sepp Blatter is a complete idiot (an opinion that I share with my wife and my Swiss father-in-law).

TimC Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 It was an amazing experience. I've gone to soccer games and listened to ignorant attendees yelling things like "kick the ball!" That would be like going to a baseball game and yelling at the pitcher, "Throw the ball real fast!" It was enjoyable listening to knowledgeable fans discussing the strategy of the game and be really excited to watch soccer. Additionally, it was top quality soccer. I was fortunate enough to see the United States play Brazil in the second round. The artistry of that Brazilian team was awe inspiring. I interacted with fans from Russia, Columbia, and Brazil and it was a blast. In some ways, it was like a college football game atmosphere. There was a sense of national pride as well. In 1991, I went to England and while there, I got tickets for an Arsenal vs Tottenham match at Wembley Stadium. Amazing. Including this sentence, I've typed 13 sentences. TL;DR Cliffs?

Ursa Majoris Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Sepp Blatter is a complete idiot (an opinion that I share with my wife and my Swiss father-in-law). That assumes he has the interests of soccer at heart. He doesn't. He has the interests of Sepp Blatter at heart. He is far from being an idiot, he is hideously corrupt.

TimC Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Who is going to go if soccer fans are asked to stay away? Between the Mooslims out there blowing each other up and the soccer fans blowing each other, it's gonna be a pretty bad scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskey Pimp Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 There have been some discussions about moving the World Cup to January so the temperatures would be cooler. There isn't a single thing right about awarding this to Qatar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westvirginia Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 (edited) Ursa, if you're saying these guys are as corrupt as Juan Antonio Sonovabitch then they must be bad. I understand that there are things I don't know about soccer, but the Sahara wouldn't seem to be the place you'd want to play it. ETA: I know it's technically the Arabian peninsula but...
