I love that Central/South America are looking to align themselves with Morocco due to us exposing massive corruption within their ranks.
Isn't there someone's daughter we can offer a job to ensure a yes vote for the US joint bid? Im not traveling to Russia or Qatar and more than likely wouldn't travel to Morrocco either.
Not that anyone expected otherwise, though I am sure some people held out hope, but if the WC goes to Morocco over the joint North America bid then it is safe to assume that FIFA is literally no less corrupt than it was before all these investigations. /CaptObvious
I did. You even highlighted part of my post and said you doubt that happens. Well now it looks like it’s happening.
Vancouver and Chicago have removed themselves from the bid https://chicago.suntimes.com/chicago-politics/emanuel-pulls-chicago-out-of-world-cup-bid/
I was right tho. But that’s ok. Got a doozy little tidbit but I’ll sit on it for now. Wouldn’t want you to doubt me.
No you were being dumb then and apparently still are. You were trying to call him out for not changing his mind when in fact he had changed his mind
You’re right you are being weird about something he feels differently about now than he did when he disagreed with you. I’m not sure what you mean he was chirping you. You said something, he said he doubted it. He later made a post saying he now felt much less confident about that. You then quoted his original post asking him if he still doubted it even though he had clearly already stated otherwise. Now you’re being weird and acting like you have some sort of inside info. Stop being weird. No one cares
Hmm, you would think the west coast would get 1 of the 3. I assumed a remodeled Rose Bowl would have the final again.
Or LA's new City of Champions Stadium where the Rams and Chargers will play. It's going to seat 70k and can expand for larger events like a WC.
lol for the first time ever FIFA is giving voters the option to reopen the vote. Sometimes I wish I didn't love the sport and could just laugh as corruption undermines the game
How these tiny countries have so much power within FIFA and CONCACAF is so infuriating. I wish we'd break away from the Caribbean part of CONCACAF.
Time to go back to FREEDOM FRIES http://www.espn.com/soccer/fifa-wor...nited-states-led-bid-in-2026-world-cup-voting
Why are big countries choosing Morocco? I guess France makes some sense considering location but they will all make less money and play in shit conditions.
"The announcements would seem to indicate that the North American bid's base of support among CONCACAF countries isn't as strong as it might have thought. At minimum, it would indicate that resources are needed to shore up support among CONCACAF countries. ......"As far as I understand the situation, Morocco is very aggressive with their canvassing," he said. "I think they are working on the theory that with their assistance to the Caribbean at a governmental level, that it can be translated to the national football federations...." Amazing. Just amazing.
doesn't really help since they only have 10 votes - Sepp's Oceananic 11 will deliver for whoever delivers the bags of money.
We need to break away with conmebol. They might be corrupt countries but they are our corrupt countries. Let the Caribbean countries go
if members of CONCACAF vote against having the WC in their backyard, in not one but THREE fellow CONCACAF member countries, they should be immediately kicked out because that vote makes no fucking sense.
