Thai World Cup 2014: The ugly side of the beautiful game

As the Thai World Cup in 2014 progresses, I just wonder how many people are aware of the disturbing facts associated with the competition; what one might call the ugly side of the beautiful game.

Part of the staging included $ 4.47 billion (US dollars) of Brazilian taxpayers’ money going to Swiss-based FIFA (Federation Internationale de Football Association), but the World Cup in competition is not for indigenous peoples, it is for greedy companies, corrupt politicians and rich tourists.

In fact, some of us have followed the protests of furious Brazilians complaining in cities across the country about local and national government corruption, grossly exaggerated spending of the World Cup somewhat worth $ 40 billion, while the underfunded essentials, much needed to improve services such as transport, education and health care. Reports from the Ministry of Energy confirm that not far away one million Brazilians live without electricity …

Danilo Cajazeira, an avid amateur football player in Sao Paulo, is an active member of the People’s Committee and demands that human rights cease to be violated, all of which are centered around the World Cup. During the construction and erection of the new stadiums, he reports in so many words that there have been hundreds and thousands of evictions in the area, some forced violently or disrespectfully onto the streets and led to real concentration นักฟุตบอลที่โดนกักตัว.

Trading companies are closed … Then there have also been a number of public areas given to certain companies without dispensation. In addition, there is an increase in the illegal sex industry involving women and children.

In anticipation of setbacks from the people, $ 0.66 billion has been spent on police armament and security. In addition to these police measures, laws have been adopted to deal with social protesters, where special judicial courts have already been set up. The accused can be convicted in ‘execution courts’, which are responsible for receiving severe sanctions, while they are not entitled to a lawyer.

It has all been described as oppressive and militarized, typical of a dictatorship scenario. Some citizens say the police are not only detaining vandals, but they are also invading homes of protesters who have been actively involved in social movements for some time long before the World Cup: As a way to get to these individuals, the police have given their relatives. not having anything to do with protests scary calls.

However, the revolt of the Brazilian people, who worry that public money, instead of going to the essentials like transportation, pedigree housing and energy instead of being pulled out of private business interests, has further promoted the desire to see change.

Will the Brazilian people win the battle when the uprising continues? Last year, there was a massive outcry against price increases in public transport. Those who protested now find that others are joining them and seeking justice from the World Cup scenario.

UEFA Champions League

After winning last season’s edition, Manchester United FC led the registrations to the UEFA Champions League 2008/09, which ends on Wednesday 27 May 2009 at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome; the question that arises is “can they repeat?”

Last season, Manchester United could say that the dubious had their best season in a long period of time. Cristiano Ronaldo (Premier League top scorer and World Player of the Year) and Wayne Rooney helped win two major titles, the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League. Both earned millions of euros.

The question this year will be in what order the ‘big four’ are placed. Can any team break into the elite group of clubs that dominate English football? I would say it is possible !! Looking further down the league; can the newly promoted teams survive in the Premier League? Why not! They are already prepared.

Look at the ‘big four’. Manchester United have not brought in new bodies (not that they need), but have lost someone important, Tony Coton. Why will Coton be missed? Simple, best goalkeeping coach Manchester United have ever had, and despite the knee injury pulling him back for good, he will be someone to seek advice in the future.

Man Utd have survived the ‘Ronaldo saga’ and are living to fight another day. All in all, it has been a quiet summer for Manchester United. Alex Ferguson has over the last few days said he hopes to sign an elite player soon (the name Robinho still pops into my head).

I do not like to predict, but expect Man Utd to be in the top two, otherwise I can predict the future and say that injuries can play a role. Why? In addition to the fact that this championship is played in a “battlefield”, there have been previous injuries to key men like Ronaldo, Rooney or Tevez that they could fight to score goals. this was a problem that occurred at times last ยูฟ่าประกาศเลื่อนแข่ง, but as mentioned earlier, Ferguson is tracking a striker and this could put an end to any apparent mistakes in the squad.

How much is Chelsea now willing to risk winning this year? Well, Scolari, Deco, Porto … shall I say more? Of course, I do what with the dramatic change in tactics. Chelsea go all the way, so do not be surprised to see them play another UEFA final match against Manchester United again. You may be wondering “will Chelsea focus more on the Champions League instead of the Premier League?” That kind of rational ambition could be the title near Manchester.

Manchester United are without a doubt at the top of the pile, not only locally but also on the European front. The current crop of players is definitely the best manager Sir. Alex Ferguson has had his restraint in his 22 years of influence, but who of the pretenders can make a strong claim to be real contenders this season? Will the ‘big four’ charge further away, or can others shorten the gap?

UEFA is wrong about football matches in Armenia, Azerbaijan

UEFA decides to cancel matches between Armenia and Azerbaijan and give both sides zero points. While Armenia wanted to play according to UEFA rules and were ready to host a match in Armenia and travel to Baku for the exchange game, Azerbaijan refused to host Armenia and travel to Yerevan, thus contrary to the established UEFA rules. rules.

In this type of situation, UEFA usually penalizes the side that violates the established rules. In this case, Armenia and Azerbaijan will be punished equally. One asks WHY? How is it just?

Armenia are penalized with zero points for not accepting to play in a neutral field. Yerevan wanted to play by the rules of the UEFA game. If UEFA were to say if Armenia and Azerbaijan fall in the same group, we would cancel the matches unless they agreed to play in a neutral game, it should have done this before the teams were selected so everyone would know the rules.

Now both UEFA and Azerbaijan are changing rules in the middle of the game. This casts a great shadow over impartiality and authority or UEFA.

“UEFA’s Executive Committee, chaired by UEFA President Michel Platini, closed its
meet today at noon at Abe Lenstra Stadium in Heerenveen in front of tonight’s UEFA
European Championship in the 21st final.

Also reviewed was the situation in terms of the location of the matches to be played in between
Armenia and Azerbaijan in the UEFA EURO 2008 (TM) qualifier. Which is not suitable
compromise could be found between the two associations it was decided to cancel the two
matches, namely Azerbaijan-Armenia scheduled for September 8 and Armenia-Azerbaijan
schedule for September 12 and award both clubs zero points for the ยูฟ่าประกาศเลื่อนแข่ง. “

Yes UEFA has the right to cancel matches, but only two parties give consent. Armenia has repeatedly said it will not accept cancellation. Now the game is canceled with both parties awarded zero points. As you note in the quote “Which is not suitable
compromise could be found between the two associations … “Suitable compromise ??? So if one of UEFA’s national teams wants to break the rules of UEFA games, the solution is to find an appropriate compromise or to punish the offender? I rest my case.

This is not just and not fair. Football, sports and politics should not be mixed. In fact, Armenia believed that traveling to Bauk and hosting Azerbaijan’s national football team could be a good willpower towards making a contribution to a peace process negotiated by the OSCE. UEFA should have taken this into account and assigned this approach.

However, UEFA grants peace with zero points.

We call on UEFA to reconsider its decision and restore justice. If one party does not want to play by the rules laid down by UEFA, why should the other party be deprived of points?

UEFA should give Azerbaijan a chance to play the matches with Armenia and promote them under a peace initiative, not under hostility. If Azerbaijan does not accept UEFA’s long-established rules, it will be punished for such behavior and Armenia will get the points they deserve.

UEFA Champions League – Example of round of sixteen

The Champions League is back after a two-month absence. It’s only the round of sixteen, yet some of the match ups that will be shown are absolutely delicious. The fighters in the game will collide and some big names will be eliminated. The competition will be intense and nothing can be taken for granted. Here are some of the most important matches I look forward to and what I think can happen:

Inter Milan V Manchester United – San Siro, Milan

Two giants in European football, two teams in wonderful shape at the moment. In a match worthy of the final, it is very unfortunate that these teams had to meet now and it will be sad to see one of them go.
Both teams have incredible leaders and have dominated their domestic leagues to the extent that they have all won them with three months left. They have class everywhere in the park, especially both teams have formidable attacking weapons with Ronaldo, Rooney, Adriano and Ibrahimovic just to name a few.

All in all, it is difficult to separate these teams, but unfortunately things are not quite the same if you compare the defense. Vidic is suspended in the match due to his red card in the final of the World Cup at the club. Evans was recently injured and Gary Neville is still out. John O’Shea is also in doubt. Going to the San Siro is difficult in the best of times, but with Rio Ferdinand having to play with a temporary center back in central defense, one can only believe Inter have the edge. I would be bold and say that “The Special One” and Inter win by a narrow margin in the first ยูฟ่าประกาศเลื่อนแข่ง. Man Utd will be much stronger in the 2nd stage.

Arsenal V Roma – Emirates, London

Who wants to be an Arsenal fan this season? Who wants to be a Roma fan for that matter? Both teams have had bad seasons by their standards, but both are starting to find some sort of form, though not nearly both teams’ potential.

This is an important clash for both teams to enjoy something from their disappointing seasons. Both teams, as they are so inconsistent, it is difficult to predict who will come out on top. Arsenal have played better recently, but they have not been able to find the killer, so it may well be their day. As Roma want to defend themselves away from home, this game could be a draw, or if Arsenal can finally end their chances, they could get away with a desperate need for victory. Arsenal need it because it will be very difficult for them to win in Rome in the second half.

Real Madrid V Liverpool – Bernabeu, Madrid

When the draw was first announced, I was sure Liverpool would win, but the draw was announced weeks ago. There have been many changes since and Real Madrid seem to be going from strength to strength, while Liverpool have not done as well as their fans would like.

Since Juande Ramos took over and bought Lasanna Diarra, Real Madrid’s defensive record has been exceptional. No wonder they have had such an impressive winning streak since the pair (Ramos and Diarra) have arrived. Diarra could finally be the long-term replacement for Makelele that Real have wanted for so many years. In contrast, Liverpool have gone from comfortably leading the English Premier League to being seven points behind the bitter rivals Manchester United. They will again be without inspiring captain Steven Gerrard, so when I take everything into account, I think Liverpool will fight away from home. Real Madrid should win this one. Liverpool get better in the second half.

UEFA Financial Fair Play

The new UEFA Financial Fair Play rules may seem a little complicated to the average football fan, but if you are able to read between the lines, UEFA’s goal is quite simple: “Let’s not let what happened to the global economy happen with football “.

In fact, it seems that the UEFA Financial Fair Play rules are less concerned about economic fair play and in fact are much more concerned about the financial stability of European football. The fair play element comes in almost collaterally. Let’s look at the main points.

Every year until the 2015-16 season, each club is allowed to suffer a financial loss of up to 45 million, as long as it is covered by equity contributions, otherwise the limit is no more than 5 million. This means that unless the club owner or other generous contributors are willing to donate 45 million to the club, the club is not allowed to spend more than 5 million on transfers. In fact, it is important to note that only the money spent on transfers is counted here, not salaries, training facilities or youth academy costs.

From the 2015-16 season onwards, the number will be reduced to 30 million per. Season, and from next year (2013-14), UEFA has warned that they will start imposing very serious sanctions on any club that does not comply with these rules.

Depending on the violation and how long it takes the club to do something better, the sanctions can take one of the following forms: the club can be reprimanded or get an official warning; the club may be fined the club may have competition points removed from their total number the club may have withheld revenue (prize money) from UEFA competitions; the club may be banned from registering new players for UEFA competitions and have restrictions on their current number of players allowed to register; the club may be disqualified from an ongoing competition or even excluded from future ยูฟ่าประกาศเลื่อนแข่ง.

So what impact will this have on the clubs? First and foremost, it will avoid unwanted economic disasters such as when Portsmouth F.C. went into administration left many of its creditors, players and staff unpaid for several months in a row.

Second, the financial fair play rules will hopefully put a ceiling on the ridiculous inflation rate in the transfer windows. Inflation has been primarily blamed on billionaire investors, disrupting players’ default values ​​by pumping money into clubs so managers can buy any star player they want without the club actually having to generate money alone. This makes it very difficult for other clubs to submit competitive bids.

When UEFA starts threatening clubs with severe sanctions over the implementation of these rules, clubs will still be allowed to bid outrageous bids on players, but they will have to show that their income (from tickets, TV rights, winnings , sponsorships, etc.) In addition to some share income, it all balances.

So will it work? And is it fair that these rules come into force now that clubs like Manchester City have already spent the last five years spending half a billion pounds on transfers? It feels like clubs that have spent outrageous sums have just been given a strange guarantee that no one else will be allowed to do the same in the years to come. But it is also important to remember that this is a long-term plan and that if a club is used to buying its talent, it will probably be much harder for it to produce its own. While other clubs like Arsenal F.C. who are at the opposite end of the scale in terms of balancing their books, are famous for their home-grown talent.

One thing is for sure, it does not take long before much of the game rules level up. A lot, but not all of course. There are in fact doubts as to whether the biggest European clubs (Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Inter, AC Milan, etc.), who make a lot of money due to being big and recognizable on an international stage, will ever stop bringing in a significantly higher amount of income thanks to all the years allowed large share contributions. These clubs can gather crowds (and thus revenue) by simply showing up somewhere. So do they need UEFA approval? Or does UEFA need them? It is difficult to say how seriously UEFA’s sanctions would be taken.
