Title: Why are people complaining about the World Cup in Fall 2022?
Post by: El Diablo Blanco on February 24, 2015, 08:42:35 AM
I love the idea.  Too much shit going on in Summer to be stuck inside watching Soccer.  November-December TV sucks ass.  Just holidays shows for the 40th straight year, all regular shows on hiatus.  It's perfect timing to have a soccer tourney.  Are people complaining just to complain about this move?

cos its going to fuck up the club teams' seasons - crucial period for club sides in the champions league, challenging for domestic leagues etc
world cup is going on for almost 2 months. clubs will lose key players at a crucial time.

Who cares about sports. Just another lame way to say, "My country or team is better than yours because we scored more points."  ::) ::)

From wiki, about what is going on, and why the change towards Nov - Dec instead of traditionally June-July.

The 2022 FIFA World Cup will be the 22nd FIFA World Cup, an international football tournament that is scheduled to take place in Qatar in 2022. It will be the first Arab country to host the World Cup and the first time it is held in the Middle East region. The tournament will involve 32 national teams, including that of the host nation, and will consist of a total of 64 games, assuming the current format of the finals is maintained.

The scheduling of the event remains uncertain; however, Sports Illustrated reported on 18 February 2015 that the event will be staged from mid-November to mid-December. Owing to the climate in Qatar, concerns have been expressed since the bid was made about holding the event during the traditional months for the World Cup finals of June and July. In October 2013, a task force was commissioned to consider alternative dates and report after the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. On 24 February 2015, the FIFA Task Force proposed that the tournament be played from late November to late December 2022, to avoid the summer heat between May and September, or clashing with the 2022 Winter Olympics in February and Ramadan in April. Commentators have noted the clash with the Christmas season is likely to cause disruption, whilst there is concern for how short the tournament is intended to be

Soccer is gayer than buying snake oil in bitcoins. :-\

Bama should nuke Qatar while they're hosting the world cup. 2 birds with 1 stone.
