See, the EU isn't completely useless.

I agree. On the negative side there monetary union has put Southern Europe into depression. But on the whole clearly they are a force for the better.

Now we just need a ruling stating that the Euros and WC can only be on ONE free2air channel per country.....

No doubt the only consideration will be which season they can make the most money in.

Of course if the European Union were a government they would be deposed in minutes. But they are unaccountable.

A completely unsuitable country running a global event.

I think that we should have a stab asking for the Winter Olympics to fill the gap.

I see what you did there... I couldn't post my KUATB comment.

If FIFA were a government they'd be deposed in minutes, European countries should threaten to boycott this one.

I can't think of a single reason why Qatar was picked in the first place other than the obvious.
