A disgrace. A fix. Mikael Granlund Jersey A shame. A waste of time. This was just a few of the reactions after FIFA gave the right to Ru sia and Qatar to host the 2018 and 2022 World Cup respectively. Senior officials from countries such as England, USA and Australia were outraged by this especially. Maybe the conspiracy theories didnt help Englands cause and the USAs being over confident of winning the rights to host the World Cup didnt help, but was the vote as fair as FIFA make it out to be. Yes, I agree that FIFA were looking for a legacy, but is Qatar and Ru sia the right places to build a legacy. You could get more of a legacy by hosting a World Cup in England or Australia than you po sibly could in Qatar and Ru sia. There are many theories to show that Qatars win wasnt an amazing shock and that Ru sias bid wasnt down to a well organised campaign. Here are just a few of the few conspiracy theories surrounding the vote;Sepp Blatter-A way to get him another stay in powerSepp Blatter, the head of FIFA, is po sibly footballs most hated figure from many parts of the World. A controversial leader might just have made his most stupid decision yet by sending the World Cup to Qatar, the only bid that was rated as a high risk. It doesnt help that Sepp Blatters most likely threat to the FIFA throne is Mohammed Bin Hammam, the head of the Asian Confederation and also a Qatari. A year ago, Bin Hammam stated an interest to lead FIFA, but a few months ago, he stated that he would not challenge Eric Staal Jersey Blatter in the 2011 re-election. Coincidence or Qatars win is not on a legacy and a new place for a World Cup but for the selfishne s of Blatter.The voting proce s and the people involvedFIFA officials in a bad light yet again. From when the Sunday Times revealed that Ados Adamu and Raymond Temarii had been taking huge amount of money for their vote in the World Cup to that Panorama programme, the FIFA executive committee has not made its bad reputation any better because of their role in the voting proce s. Andy Anson, the leader of the fateful England bid, said that his bid team was confident that they had secured 8 or 9 votes as they had been told by many members that they were guaranteed that they had their Ryan Suter Jersey vote. The men in question is controversial CONCACAF chairman Jack Warner, USAs Chuck Blazer, Guatemalas Rafael Salguero, South Koreas Chung Mong-Joon, Ivory Coasts Jacques Anouma, Senes Erzik of Turkey and Cypruss Marios Lefkaritis. If this is to be true, England would have received 9 votes, the same amount as Ru sia had in the first round. I could moan about FIFA all day, but my final point about the exco committee is the amount of votes in Netherland-Belgiums bid in the first and second round. In the first round, the Benelux bid had 4 votes, putting them into the second round of voting, when they mysteriously lost two votes to Ru sia to hand them the World Cup. A Jason Pominville Jersey po sible reason of this is that the delay of the announcement of the vote was due to bribery from the Ru sian officials (just a po sible theory). I wont say any more about FIFA, but there is plenty more conspiracies about the vote just involving FIFAs executive committee.There are plenty of other conspiracies such as Pepsi splashing out 2.5 billion on a Ru sian drinks company just four hours before the vote was announced and that the decision was made before hand plus many more po sible Erik Haula Jersey theories. All I know is that something is not right with the way the vote was handled and the acts of FIFA and the stupid voting proce s didnt help the World Cups go the best bid, but to a bid with a supposed better legacy. I am just waiting for one of the affected nations to rebel against FIFA and order a reform in this corrupt organization, but knowing Blatter, his stubbornne s should stop anything like this from happening. The best we can hope for is a reform in the voting system e.g. the chairmen, manager and captain of each country gets a vote. All we can do is wait, but most likely, nothing will come of it and Blatter and his committee will get away with murder for another time.Please comment on this blog.
