Futbol: Otras partes del mundo Part 19 [R]

I haven't seen this many upset gringos since OJ was found not guilty. Just gotta enjoy the world cup on TV.

you lil' twat, you were watching barney when that verdict was handed down.

I don't know if i'll still be a bigsoccer member in 2022... maybe by then i'll stop getting repped with comments starting with "facking noob..."

anyways, I'm willing to bet that before 2022, Qatar will be denied hosting the World Cup and it will be given to Australia or some other deserving country.

That country's infrastructure/economy will crumble within the next 5 years. Building 6 giant stadiums in a country the size of a small U.S state... won't help.

An hour driving distance between each giant stadium.

Good thing the WC didn't come to Australia...one only hears football news these past days, its back to 100% "footy", cricket and rugby now.

I rather see the WC go to a true footballing nation but that doesn't always happen...

I kinda wanna go to Qatar now

Finally an American being reflexive. I remember about 30 minutes after the announcement I went on CNN and found this:

Americans getting pist is the only thing I'm enjoying about this, btw. If FIFA was truly democratic they'd give bids to mid-income countries, not just rich ones.

As it stands now, no South American country can dream of hosting it in 2026 and beyond. Chile and Argentina would have to team up and do miracles to even be considered. Peru? No fukin way

Hilarious. Funny that Louster sides with a footy-ignorant writer from espn, no less.


the NYT article that's linked in the comments section kicks ass.

Well how many American ESPN writers are football savvy AND unbiased?

brb starting a smear campaign on Qatar so they can get it taken away from them.

Hey, if the arguments are compelling, I'll agree with them no matter where they come from and who writes them.

They can even come from the business section of a New Jersey paper.

Yea, that was horrible when he said "independiente de America" . I cringed. He literally went for 2 minutes just saying how great Independiente was, after beating a 2nd Division bound Brasilian team in PK's.

yea. that made it to the final of the libertadores...

When did Goias make the final of Libertadores?

damn in Maheeco too?

whoops ment the sudamericana

Didn't Goias also get relegated to the 2nd div in Brasil?

Yes

and then knocked out everyone else

thus, the "no less" part, webinches triste.

me cagaste but substitute nj and paper, yo.

El club Mazembe de Congo elimino al Inter de Brasil en el Mundial de Clubes y como celebro el arquero de Mazembe??

If they beat Inter Milan, he's going chop off that hair swag.

como que se quiere mear, pero sabe que no puede dejar el arco desguarnecido......
