Blatter has tried to take football worldwide and market it as the premium sport. Have to say he has succeeded to a large extent. Football in Qatar wud definitely be an opportunity for a lot of people like us to actually go m watch a wc match live..... I mean if blatter has made money, pretty sure lot of others also wud have made good bucks. This is something like our 2G scam..I mean there r those who argues that the cheap mobile revolution that we enjoyed was an indirect result of the 2g scam... With the history of our system , if it had gone as per rules, wud the common man have benefited any further. Who knows..

you can count on me being there. the support that south american teams have in qatar is just amazing.
as long as match-fixing is not involved in WC, any other grease, don't care.

Danish FA supports Greenland's bid to join UEFA, FIFA


Denmark's football association (DBU) supports Greenland's bid to become a member of FIFA and wants to help develop the sport on the territory which still has no proper pitches.

Greenland, which like the Faroe Islands is part of the Kingdom of Denmark and has wide autonomy, has had a football association since 1971 and has long hoped to become a member of the international football community.

The Faroe Islands have been FIFA members since 1988.

"Greenland is still a part of Denmark, they want to become members of UEFA and FIFA and, of course, the DBU will support them in that," DBU president Jesper Moller told the Play the Game conference.

"I hope that the new FIFA president will back me up when we try to do something."

Despite its inhospitable climate and lack of facilities, Greenland has a remarkably high proportion of players, but a lack of facilities means it cannot host international games.

"They have no first class pitches in Greenland, no artificial turf, they have nothing," said Moller.

"They have earth to play on but they have 5,000 players in a population of 54,000."

"We could do better in Greenland, we could make a big difference and of course we have to help them."

Moller visited Greenland in August and the Danish and Greenlandic associations have signed a co-operation agreement which aims to encourage the game at grass roots level and build four to six artificial pitches.

FIFA statues state that "an association which has not yet gained independence may, with the authorisation of the association in the country on which it is dependent, also apply for admission to FIFA."

A possible complication for Greenland is that national associations must be affiliated to continental confederations before they can join FIFA.

European soccer's governing body UEFA would be the logical choice for Greenland due to its links with Denmark, however, UEFA's statutes now allow FA's to join if they represent countries whose independence is recognised by the United Nations.

Greenland is geographically closer to North America and could join the North and Central America and Caribbean Confederation (CONCACAF), which allows autonomous territories to join.

That could lead to Greenland playing competitive matches against teams such as Mexico, Trinidad and Suriname.

Greenland’s national side play games against other non-FIFA teams and are regular participants in the football tournament at the Island Games, finishing as runners-up to Bermuda in 2013.

സ്റ്റേഡിയം ഉദ്ഘാടന ആഘോഷങ്ങൾ കിടുക്കിക്കളഞ്ഞു. വെടിക്കെട്ടും ലേസർ ഷോയും കാ*ണികളുടെ ആരവവുമായി ഒരു ഇന്റർനാഷണൽ മാചിന്റെ നിലവാരമുണ്ടായിരുന്നു. റൊണൾഡീഞ്ഞോ ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നില്ല. ബാക്കിയെല്ലാവരും ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നു. എല്ലാം പല്ല് കൊഴിഞ്ഞ സിംഹങ്ങൾ, ബാൾ കണ്ട്രോൾ പോലും ഇല്ല. അടുത്ത കാലത്തൊന്നും ഇവരൊന്നും കളിച്ചിട്ടില്ലാന്ന് തോന്നുന്നു. കുവൈത്ത് ടീം 4-2 ന് ജയിച്ചു. ഗോൾ കീപ്പർ ജെർമ്മനിയുടെ ലേമാൻ ഗോളുകൾ വലയിൽ വീഴുന്നത് നോക്കി നിൽക്കുന്നത് കണ്ടിട്ട് ചിരി വന്ന് പോയി.ഇങ്ങേരായിരുന്നല്ലോ പണ്ട് വേൾഡ് കപ്പിലെയൊക്കെ ഹീറോ :)
