Мэр Лондона отозвал предложение бесплатно разместить делегацию ФИФА во время ОИ-2012

а он не против, чтобы вы его публиковали?)

continued: As for Qatar. Well that’s just a joke and any half sensible football fan around the world would agree that it’s a decision that proves how corrupt FIFA are. They’ve done NOTHING for football, ever. They’re not a football nation, they’ve done nothing to promote the game or help it, they employ slave labour from Pakistan to work on all these amazing buildings they have, and have an appalling human rights record. And this is a place deserving of world’s biggest event in the eyes of “United Nations” FIFA? FIFA were warned about the ‘significant health risk’ involved in hosting it there! It’s a joke. Honestly, if Qatar hadn’t won and one of the countries who’ve actually actively participated and promoted football like the US or Australia had, you may have convinced me of the worth of Russia winning it. In my opinion, the fact Qatar won the other vote proves beyond any doubt that the countries that get to host the World Cup were the ones who offered the most money for votes. Nothing else. FIFA is among the most corrupt governing bodies in the world and I for one, would applaud the likes of England, Australia, USA, Spain/Portugal, Holland, Japan, Korea etc… if they left FIFA and set up their own governing body run by football people (as FIFA was until Joao Havelange came to power in the mid 70s and hired Blatter with the remit to make the game as profitable for FIFA As possible) for football. And why shouldn’t they? Between them they have the biggest TV audiences in the world, and the biggest sponsors, the most fans, the best leagues, and the biggest international influence on development of the game… where would FIFA be without them? Don’t forget, this is the same “United Nations” FIFA that will happily kick out countries from international competition if their governments get involved in sport, but actively seek an arse licking from governments when it’s time to pick a World Cup host. The same FIFA who claim to be democratic but who openly admit that their vice chairman (who has twice been proven to be selling tickets for the final on the black market) controls not only his own vote but the votes of the two other people in his region. The FIFA that claims honesty and transparency yet insists on secret ballots so the world can’t know who voted for whom and why. The FIFA who’s members openly voted for the Holland/Belgium bid to ensure England’s early elimination only to turn their back on Holland/Belgium 10 minutes later to vote for Russia. This is the “United Nations” FIFA that care so much about the world that even in the current economic climate will insist that bidding nations spend tens of millions of dollars putting together proposals that only 3 of their 22 man committee actually bothered to read. They’re corrupt, they’re not fit to run the game, and they’ve sold the World Cup to the two nations that are happiest to line the pockets of the 22 men who make the decisions. We’ll see what happens in the next few years anyway. There’s a reason that Eastern Europe and the Middle East have never held the World Cup and a lot can happen in those regions in 8-12 years.
