For Halftown
The December 2 Spain may start out of the mud. Because for politicians, media, business and other herbs, get FIFA grant to Spain to organize a World Cup is the equivalent of moving from crisis to fireworks . Maybe that's why the English Football Federation has been responsible for launching a propaganda campaign to inflame the footballing masses. Forgotten
is any quarrel with the Portuguese. Neither the Río de la Plata, or the War of the Oranges, or anything that transpires bad feeling. Is deleted from the existence that battle for Euro 2004, which ended Portugal's winner based on UEFA dixit, the superiority of its tourism facilities. The Portuguese passed, by proclamation, to be that sister nation that traditionally has given us the best of its football for use and enjoyment of our league, from Futre to CR7.
According to official propaganda, the Iberian bid is the better off out of the report by FIFA last week. Even a few days ago came news that claimed that Villar already knew the outcome of the vote. It is never too early to make cool Freixenet and vinho verde.
The World and the world of Barney
But instead of continuing down the path of onanism we leave the world of Barney and go to the topic, the document FIFA has posted on its website . For starters, there are nine nominations and eleven countries at stake, but not all are candidates for either of the two editions. England, Holland and Belgium and Russia aiming to 2018. Australia, Holland and Belgium, Japan, Korea, Qatar and the United States aspire to 2022. and Spain and Portugal have signed both. Let's start
2018.
- England: the English have been raised to build five stadiums, which will invest 2,500 million dollars. They have a small problem, the Rugby World Cup in 2015 - and a big problem-the JJ. OO. in 2012 -. Of course, since Brazil was World Games in one package, everything is possible.
- Holland and Belgium after the Euro 2000 held together, throw the World Cup adventure. Posed to build seven stadiums, but they have a problem of size: they have not presented enough hotels, and their proposals do not have the legal support from their governments.
- Russia aims to invest almost 4,000 million dollars to build 13 new stadiums, all west of the Urals. Play against) the size of the country, something that does not love to FIFA and b) his inexperience organizing such events, after thirty years since the JJ. OO. Moscow. To their credit runs geopolitics-that Europe dependent on Russian gas, "and their physical, straddling two continents , ensuring that European and Asian audiences will not see the goals on YouTube the next morning.
Sin can never rule out the English, being asked to Madrid and Paris what happens when you underestimate them, "in this case seem to rival the Russians. A country where Internet access has grown by 1,800% in the last decade. With energy companies that control half of Europe, including clubs like Chelsea and Schalke 04. And with an increasingly competitive football, run by PCFútbol magnates who play in real life.
The landscape, however, is very different in 2022, with a majority of non-European countries hungry for football.
- Australia: the report of the FIFA, play against the distance between sites, the little darling who have taken the time to bargain hotels and the fact that a World Cup in the antipodes condemn European and Latin American audiences to spend a month sleeping during the day. In contrast, in favor plays that has never held a FIFA tournament in Oceania . Not that I have a strong commercial interest in itself, but its other Asian neighbors that are central to plans Future of Blatter and co.
- Japan poses a 2.0 World, with a new football experience based on new technologies. In any other country that would sound to some marketiniano mental straw, but from the makers of the Play Station and a Casiotone believe it all. FIFA's report cites logistical problems, security and legal. Nor is it likely that Japan will again experience only two decades after the 2002 World Cup.
- South Korea has the same problem as Japan, or worse, English and Italian we still remember the hand of Hyundai in the selection of referees, 2002 . The good thing have is that the World Cup would be the cheapest, since they only need to build a new stadium.
- In Qatar, the average temperature in June and July is 43 degrees. That's why we raise the air-conditioned building of nine stages, in which plan to invest 3,000 million (petro) dollars. have signed, in addition, Guardiola and advertising claims Zidane. FIFA also seems concerned about the logistical issue in a country where the twelve World Cup stadiums would be concentrated within a radius of 30 kilometers. To his credit, runs the economic muscle of the region by 2022 if no oil wells have dried up, and the interest of bringing the world the World Arabic for the first time ... without jeopardizing European television audiences.
- U.S. pulls the lamp to ensure that no stadium will be built or remodeled before 2022. FIFA acknowledges in his report that the U.S.. UU. are the main sponsors global sports market, and there is a clear interest in the development of soccer. Although currently the Obama administration has not officially wet in this initiative, the same report the FIFA says there is a commitment from 2013.
here seems more open competition, with both geopolitical interests at stake in a game of Risk . Besides being 2018, the European World Cup, Blatter, it seems unlikely that it is obsessed with bringing the Cup to Africa, will anchor in the old continent for two consecutive editions.
What does the FIFA on the nomination of Spain and Portugal? As we remember our patriotic media, football recognizes the importance of both countries and will tell us what you've done as a selection from Portugal Eusebio hung up his boots, is also assessed organizational experience in the past, and the fact being in Europe makes the issue facing the TV. But even there. Because FIFA also said that there have been half (42) of the necessary training facilities (84), that 40% of hotel rooms are located in Madrid and Barcelona, \u200b\u200bthe transport infrastructure in cities "requires attention" (each one interprets it his way ), that the infrastructure of information technology is regulera, and some details such as accommodation and transport are not well enough explained in the bid document submitted by the Iberian.
In short, it is better not to sell the bear's skin before the hunt. In the final analysis, is furgol furgol. Or not.
