(Sorry about the last week; I was in the hospital with a bit of a health issue, but I’m recovered (recovering) and back now. I thought about going back and doing all the stuff I missed, but I figured Fulham fans would rather not relive Monday.) What you missed while getting ready for a future [...]

Following the decision to award Qatar the 2022 World Cup, I was one of those who kept losing their head about not only the issues surrounding gay rights in Qatar, but the mainstream media’s blatant ignorance of the issue. I’m still pissed off about it, and don’t see that changing at any point between now [...]

So as it turns out, the 2022 vote on Qatar might also include Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. Why, you ask? Well, it’s entirely possible that Qatar will not have the infrastructure in place to actually hold the World Cup in 2022, and FIFA’s head idiot, Sepp Blatter, says that the region may have to pitch [...]

Let’s try to forget about the USA not being given a chance to host World Cup 2022 and focus on what is now the most important thing about FIFA’s decision. The FIFA voters have chosen to hold the biggest event on their annual calendar in a country that still has ongoing major human rights violations. [...]

It doesn’t seem possible that we are getting close to being six months gone from the opening ceremony in South Africa. If it weren’t for some convenient distractions every few months on the international stage (the fun ones like actual tournaments, not qualifiers and friendlies) the gap between tournaments would be worse than it already [...]
