Re: Futbol: Cruel, cruel game.
I am stunned that England were knocked out in the first round of voting.
Re: Futbol: Cruel, cruel game.
Here's the kicker: We can't win 2026/2030 either due to confederation rotation. So 2034 is the earliest another asian country can host.
And china has indicated it wants in.
Australia 2046

Australia 20never.
Not surprised at all that we didn't win. I am surprised that Qatar won though. I was expecting the US. I knew FIFA would go where the money was though. Once I saw Australia was ranked last on profitability I knew we were fucked no matter what.

Re: Futbol: Cruel, cruel game.
Russia was ranked last on profitability from what I read last night?

And Qatar was listed as a high-risk option back in June. Still, Sepp Blatter will be able to afford a bigger yacht, so someone's smiling.

Makes no sense does it. Nor does the whole process or FIFA in general.Pat wrote:Voting:

It makes perfect sense when you assume corruption is rife.

I am now resigned to the fact that I'll never see the World Cup played in Australia in my lifetime.

Re: Futbol: Cruel, cruel game.
I dunno. I heard something on the news about Australia being last. Maybe Russia was last for 2018. Either way by the time it's Asia's turn again it'll go to China surely. Then after that who knows? Probably one of the other Asian tigers.Pat wrote:Russia was ranked last on profitability from what I read last night?
Either way we're fucked. It will never comes to Australia.

Fifa hates Australia and England. No surprises today.
Shame. Australia could be a football superpower with the right promotion.
Like someones said already, won't happen in my lifetime. Booooo!
Our timezone kills us too.
European joe: "You know that one time a year we've gotta get up super crazy time in the night to watch the opening F1 GP? Imagine that for the whole World Cup? Fuck that!"
(Even though that's pretty much every WC for us).

Re: Futbol: Same ol' Newcastle. Fat Ashley sacks Hughton. :(
I tuned in at 2-0 hoping the cricket would be on
Re: Futbol: Same ol' Newcastle. Fat Ashley sacks Hughton. :(
As did I ... two bullshit saves as well by the Roar keeper. What a crazy match.
Re: Futbol: Same ol' Newcastle. Fat Ashley sacks Hughton. :(
wait who is winning? the abc broadcast has vanished
Re: Futbol: Same ol' Newcastle. Fat Ashley sacks Hughton. :(
The Roar won. They scored 2 goals in the last 4 minutes of extra time to draw. The Roar keeper performed two bullshit saves and they won on penalties.
Re: Futbol: Same ol' Newcastle. Fat Ashley sacks Hughton. :(
holy shit. they deserved to win all season bt fucking hell, thats cutting it fine
