World Cup

[Stick Legs]

I'm disappointed that we did not get it, the investment would have been good for us at this time.
But from a point of view of having to live here and not being a football fan... Not to bad a result.

I am really wondering what the people in Qatar will do with all the mega stadiums they will end up after 2022. It is a 800.000 people country. About as big Amsterdam and A'dam doesn't have need for a single 60.000 people stadium atm.

Balalaikas?

Seems to me that everything I like most has been corrupted or at least transformed for the worse by commercialisation. Football, MTBing, rock music, the internet, motor cycling, I won't mention sex.

All activities originally built on grass roots enthusiasm and support then annexed transformed, for better or worse, by big business.

Well, to be fair, there have been reports of the bid containing an idea of dismantlable stadia, which would be used for the Kevball tournament then taken down and shipped to other (presumably developing) countries and re-erected there.
