  • I'm a soccer fan, I'll admit that.
    Will we get the World Cup.
    If I must be brutally honest, there's no chance in hell that we will.
  • 2 weeks ago the Spanish and Qatar delegates or their federations exchanged a note offering congratulations for winning he cup. Not surprised tbh. They got a massive 11 votes first round. Even though in my mind they failed too adequately deal with problems with their bid like the heat. At the time of year its 50 degrees. So despite this they received most votes?

    Cant complain though, I understand we certainly greased a few palms to win the 2000 olympics. Offering scholarships for delegates children to the finest schools in Australia etc.
  • Congratulations FIFA, you just killed the sport in this part of the world...
  • FIFA probably looked at our domestic comp and laughed! We're similar to America anyway, we have our own footy.
  • No they looked at the money in the brown paper bags they were given. We should have sent former Storm CEO Brian Waldron over to show them how it's done.
    I'm Ken Crapper
    • I agree with Ken Crapper. 100% they were bribed. The whole thing reeks because apparently even before the winner was announced there were whispers that it was Qatar. I feel sorry for Autralia spending millions of dollars on a wasted cause that was never really going to happen.
      • You think Qatar has a great local comp. The country only has 800,000 people!
        • I don't even know where Qatar is! lol
  • Seriously Qatar! We never stood a chance.
  • In the 80 yr history of the FIFA World Cup, Australia is the only continent that has never held the competition, what a joke!
    (and considering that the bid was for 2022 it will be at a minimum 2026 until we can! Total 96yrs)
