Confirmed: 2015 World Cup to be played on artificial surface

Sure, we do that too, lot's of love here.

 

Not also. Just. There is only a Qanada paralympic soccer team - the team you are going to field this summer.

 

I've seen them play, they were great. It was really fun.

 

Although I doubt we could beat the Germans given their superiority in this department:

@Moaca
Qanada even loses the loser cup against Uefa's whipping boy team England. Cheers!

 

The trick is to beat teams when it matters, especially ones used for qualification for other big tournaments like this one:

 

The Inselaffen didnt get qualified. They were hosts. Loser host playing other loser host does not have any value. Every time Im thinking about Qanada and Blatter I think...

 

Moral that

 

Wow that's impressive. Nice to see countries contributing so much to the global game and global sporting body. No wonder they won the bid.

 

I refer to my sig.

Or I might add:

Bidding process rigged.

 

Did the bad dark skinned man with the robe and the big wallet spill your milk? I'm sure if you go straight to the UN they'll confirm your Euro-centric view of the world is accurate and immediately repatriate things..

 

Dark-skinned? How would that be possible growing up in middle Europe? Projecting your character onto others a bit?

 

2015: Qanada
2019: France
2023: North Korea
2027: San Marino
2031: Saudi Arabia
2035: Antarctica
2039: Kodiak Island
2043: The Moon
2047: Alpha Centauri

 

Ahhh yes, the segue and change the argument. This new German philosophy is so advanced. No quotes from Kant or Nietzsche to go with it?

 

Well for sure artificial couldnt happen over here since our constitution is based on human dignity. And most of this concept derives from Kant. With turf Canada purposefully sends players to a greater risk of getting injured. So if we follow this logic we can say Canada violates the human dignity of all 23 female players of all 24 teams.

Germany Basic Law Art. 1
"Human dignity shall be inviolable. To respect and protect it shall be the duty of all state authority."

Charter of fundamental rights of the European Union Art. 1
"Human dignity is inviolable. It must be respected and protected."

The universal declaration of human rights Art. 1
"All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood."

Seems like Qanada never had their Kant. Im also working on a song about the arctic wasteland argument.

 

That's better. I think the rule is if you're going to segue on an argument at least quote one philosopher.

Uhm. I think we should probably change the topic.



"What? This is a World Cup qualifier and we're playing on turf? Don't they know I am Thomas Müller? I feel violated by a mannschaft this big."

 

FIFA - Sepp, Oh'Really

Sent on to the fields
of shady backroom deals
The best had to risk their living
Women lost the fight
Tried as they might
Nevermind them getting injured

Don't cry
Don't raise your eye
It's only arctic wasteland

Sepp, take my hand
No dignity in this land
Who even needs that?
Just don't look past your shoulder
The exodus is here
The profits are so near
No matter what they say
It's time for grass to smolder

Arctic wasteland
It's only arctic wasteland
Acrtic wasteland
Oh, oh
Arctic wasteland
It is all wasted!

 

Sarah McLachlan? Couldnt find someone from the current millenium, eh?

@law10
it's so quiet in here. Why do you keep running off?

 

You can really feel the mood building in the country. The press is starting to pick up, people on the streets are starting to talk about it, teams are planning friendlies here and there, etc. One of the local clubs received a free 2-star turf pitch from FIFA this week to be used for training during the tournament as a legacy infrastructure donation. Everywhere I look people are pitching in and getting ready to support the tournament and it's amazing to see.

It will be interesting to see if it's a year of upsets or the top teams into the semi's. Women's football is traditionally the usual suspects but the talent band is thinning. The bigger group stage will put everyone through who should go through but after that it's dicey. And for European team it's a qualification again for the Olympics so double-heartbreak to anyone who puts in a bad day at the office after the group stage.

 

Is cowardness part of the Canadian DNA or sth?

 

How about answering to the Blatter article?

I also brought 4 protect songs and you nothing but awkward silence.
