Yeah I love how blatantly obvious it was the crowd was booing Russia just as loudly as last time when the voting was going on. Even if they tried to mask this year.

Not sure where to start. Eurovision song contest as name implies is a song contest watched by 200 million people every year in Europe, Israel, plus Australia that was let in for 60 years anniversary of the competition.

One major market boycotting Qatar to a point it gets cancelled would be great, but we need much more. UEFA is the one that holds the keys to actually change soccers governing body with every single league that matter residing under it, and the main market for the sport. FIFA is nothing without UEFA.

Russia will happen, with much of the projects halfway and there’s really no loud opposition with most people talking about Qatar.

If he want to win big trophies Spain or Germany is the place to be, though it’s clear that Real wont have a place for him anymore.

You don’t say? More about him facing Chiellini and Evra.

No Suarez jokes yet?

You probably are right, and I would absolutely love Barcelona to take it, but at the same time I can’t be mad either team taking it home.

As far as I’m concerned Europe and North America could host them all, hell London could host it alone with four 60 000-90 000 arenas and six 25 000-45 000 arenas.

Olympics as it is, likely. World Cup? There are plenty of countries that are more than capable to support larger stadiums, and already do compared to what Brazil build.

I don’t know, I think it looks pretty damn great and Citroens are not rare here, while nowhere as popular as in southern Europe. Though I wont say it has aged amazingly thinking the above model looks to be somewhere from 2007.

Call hockey febs, keps whatever, but nobody would call it football just because you can kick puck forward as long as it’s not deliberate pass or goal attempt.

FIFA as far as its selection of president goes is full on democracy, where all 209 FIFA members vote. Germany’s vote is as valuable as Eritrea’s. Blatter got huge support in Africa, Asia and I don’t think that support has gone anywhere.

This has nothing to do with app, or user interface. That’s small beans, it’s the backend data and there Nokia is the largest. There’s just 3 companies that can offer that it, Nokia, Google and TomTom as a distant 3rd.

You need to remember that the front is nothing and that’s not Nokia’s business, like it is Google’s.

You don’t need all 3. Just any of those 3 leaving, mostly UEFA would grumble FIFA to so much of a lesser organization that some of the other big would follow, or finally truly force changes.

Nobody is saying good looking game doesn’t need a hook. I don’t in general get this zero sum attitude with this topic. Neither are graphics always about looking real, and physic engines have no doubt affected games greatly. They naturally also tend to be extremely taxing to hardware.

How is that even remotely true when Steam is exploding from countless of indie games that give no fucks about looks and are all about gameplay.

You are missing out. Not on Hudson that I thankfully don’t have to listen. Celta de Vigo vs FC Barcelona last month was the best game I have seen 2015 so far. I would not call top half of la Liga inferior, as gets proven time after time on international games.

If we are getting pedantic here. I never understood this “European grammar” thing that some people throw around. What is it even supposed to mean?
