$43 million for world cup
« on: December 10, 2008, 05:26:29 PM »
On hot mail there is a little almost unseen thing about the $43 million that we are spending on getting us to the world cup and it has a yes or no vote and the no are winning so far.
I voted no as I'm not into a game where magic water can make a player, rolling around in full pian, to then get up and play like a champion.
What a waste when school and health are suffering. If it's so important make the soccer federation pay the bill by taking money from memberships and sponsors.
I think it's a bad thing they are doing wasting good money like this on that.
Oh and yes i would say the same if it was or code to. So save your hate mail.

FIFA is like the IOC. You've got to appeal and suck up to the pigs in the troth to win the hosting rights. I can't see Australia getting the 2018 WC as that would mean 16 years without Europe (who has the most casting votes) having the WC. Australia would be best to go after the 2022 making a deal with Europe to back us if we back them for 2018.
