German lawyer resigns from FIFA commission

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — A top German lawyer has resigned from FIFA's ethics commission in protest at the world football body's apparent failure to tackle alleged corruption in its ranks. Guenter Hirsch wrote in a letter to ethics commission president Claudio Sulser that FIFA appeared unwilling to deal with growing problems. The 67-year-old former president of Germany's highest appeals court said FIFA showed "no real interest" in trying to clean up the organization. "The events of the past few weeks have raised and strengthened the impression that responsible persons in FIFA have no real interest in playing an active role in resolving, punishing and avoiding violations against ethic regulations of FIFA," Hirsch wrote in the letter, according to the German DPA news agency on Sunday. FIFA officials were accused of bribe-taking and vote-trading before the World Cup host election last month. The 2018 World Cup was awarded to Russia and the 2022 tournament t

Indian football at the crossroads

India came into the AFC Asian Cup Qatar 2011™ having not appeared at the finals of the continental championship since 1984. But while the 2008 AFC Challenge Cup winners have lost their opening two games at this year’s tournament – against Australia and Bahrain - coach Bob Houghton (pictured) is confident the football landscape within the nation is set to change.“I think there is a determination now in the country, from the AFC, from FIFA that Indian football needs to move on,” the Englishman told www.afcasiancup.com. “I don’t think people will throw their hands in the air and give up. I think people will do the opposite and people will sit down and focus on what is fundamentally wrong with the game in India and how do we change it. “And it’s not a difficult question to answer because you are talking about a country that has zero football infrastructure. We have, I think, one stadium in the whole of the country that meets the criteria to host a World Cup qualifier and that’s in Chennai

Jim Boyce voices concerns over World Cup bid spending following Qatar 2022 victory

Fifa should set clearer criteria for future World Cup bids in order to prevent bidding nations from spending large sums of money on campaigns that have little chance of success, according to the man set to replace England’s Geoff Thompson on the Fifa executive committee. Jim Boyce, the former president of the Football Association of Ireland who is expected to replace Thompson as the Home Nations representative at Fifa in June, voiced his concerns over bid spending following Telegraph Sport’s revelations about the resources behind the Qatar 2022 bid. The investigation revealed that a draft budget set out spending of £27 million for communications alone in 2010, with large sums also paid to football ambassadors. The draft budget dwarfed the total two-year campaign budgets for all of Qatar’s direct rivals in the 2022 race with the exception of Australia, which spent £28 million. It also exceeds all the 2018 bid budgets, including England’s £15 million two-year war-chest. A bid spokesman t

On Frame: Taking a cut at Qatar

Let’s call this the “Qatar Experiment.” Emphasis on irony here until all facts are confirmed and vetted, preferably in a fish bowl. Until that time, the decision to award Qatar the 2022 World Cup has to be the most bizarre in the history of the World Cup. Few outside of Qatar and the World Cup selection committee endorse it. So many fundamental questions were ignored before the vote. Now, top FIFA officials are changing their stories or resigning as quickly as the wind whips up a desert storm on the Arabian Peninsula. The most recent string of embarrassing moments that continue to cast doubt on this whole laughable affair: Sepp Blatter, FIFA president, crony master and Nobel Peace Prize seeker, is now agreeing with almost all soccer experts that the 2022 event should be switched to winter to protect the players from the scorching summer heat that can hit 125 degrees. Duh. Imagine playing soccer in an oven with a sock full of burning coals in your mouth, and you get the picture. Which

World Cup Move to Winter Discussed Before Vote, U.S. FIFA Member Says

Soccer officials openly discussed changing the dates of the 2022 World Cup to avoid the summer heat in Qatar in the weeks before voting, a FIFA executive committee member said. Qatar beat the U.S., Australia , Japan and South Korea to win rights to the event, which is usually held in June and July, summer in Europe and North America . While none of the bidders proposed changing the dates, FIFA President Sepp Blatter said he expects a switch to winter. The temperature in Qatar rarely falls below 37 degrees Celsius (98.6 degrees Fahrenheit) in June and July, raising questions about players’ health. “There were comments like that some weeks before the decision,” said Chuck Blazer, a U.S. official on the executive body, referring to talks about bringing the event forward. “Otherwise I really couldn’t understand how they voted for football in that level of temperatures, because I knew them well enough, and their support for their own teams, so it seemed illogical.” Qatar, holder of the w

Sprint queen Marian Jones

The dye has been cast. Yet another sporting personality has been floored - more through her own undoing – Sprint queen Marian Jones joins a list of celebrity sportspersons who have fallen from grace - taking the banned steroid Tetrahydrogestrinone (THG) to upshot her performances on the track. On her day the ‘Fastest woman on Earth’, and arguably the best female athlete in the world, Marion Jones could outrun just about anyone on the track. After evading the dogged issue of performance enchasing drugs for years, the athlete has finally spilled the beans- that she took banned steroids during the 2000 Olympics. At the peak of her career, the US athlete outshone and powered over other athletes. She became the first woman to win five medals at one Olympics. Jones made history at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia. She landed three gold medals, winning the 100-metres, the 200-metres, and the 1600-metres relay. And she added two bronze medals to her tally in the long jump and the 400-met

Portuguese language basic words

“Nao sabem nada, nem uma palavra de Portugues? o que e isto? porque precisa passaporte Portugues? faca favor de estudar Portuguese meu senhor.” (Don’t know a single word in Portuguese? What is this? Why you need Portuguese passport? Please Sir Try to learn Portuguese ok? ) PORTUGUESE LANGUAGE NOTES Although Brazil is surrounded by Spanish-speaking countries, the language here is Portuguese. Your Spanish will help a lot, though. Most Cariocas understand it, if spoken slowly. Anyone dealing directly with tourists will understand, and try hard to speak English. French and Italian are the other two languages that are likely to be at least understood. We realize Portuguese is not a first choice as a second language, and nobody expects you to become a pro. Learning to read the words may be a useful skill, though. It will surely come handy when you have to say the name of a street, or some place you are going to. The only letter in the Portuguese alphabet you may not be familiar with is the &
