Im not sure about changing the world cup time scale but im guessing the people the Qatari people bribed are not going to change their stance on the situation.
They did not bribe Blatter they bribed his heads of FIFA committees around the globes. However this still does not mean Blatter isn't a cunt, because oh boy he is, maybe not as big as Platini to some people but for me and his awfully slow stance on goal line technology makes him enemy number 1 with Platini enemy number 2.

Lionel Messi has agreed a new contract with Barcelona which will make him the best-paid player in the world.

Reports in Spain suggest Messi's new deal will see the Argentina superstar paid a basic salary of £16.3m a year, with added performance-based incentives.

aka £313,400 a week.... BEFORE bonuses xD Oh gosh.....

Why are they doing this? Isnt there at some point some financial controle dude saying "hmm you guys do know that he has like 5 years of contract left and we could have saved millions with just... i dont know not giving him more money every 6 months".

I guess he's discontent if he isn't the highest paid player in the world.

So there is a little bit of drama before the german Pokal, Guardiola is cuting Mandzukic for "sports" reasons. So the Luiz/Mandzukic trade got up from "not gonna happen" to "hmm who knows".

Also this looks kinda... wrong:

Bayern Munich the club that saves the world with afro power. Imagine defending corners with Luiz and Dante in the box and opponents think "man i cant see shit there is too much hair in the way".

On a serius note i like David Luiz because i think he is a funny dude but honestly i dont know what Pep wants to do with him. He doesnt really fit that well into a system i can imagine them playing.

Maybe he wants him to play Schwein's role or Lahm's role and put Lahm back RB. Luiz can play CB but he will not solve any of the issues the Bayern back 4 of had in the big games with the mistakes from defending set pieces or being turned rather easily. But he has good passing and is very comfortable on the ball, playing him holding midfield and i think he is perfect there.

Why would a central defender with prob one of the best passing skills in the game not fit the Pep system ?
Badstuber was out like 2 years, van Buyten is rly old and slow and Pep doesnt seem to think that much of Martinez as a defender. So its only logical they get another central defender.

It would make sense as the "defensive" version of the 4-1-4-1 with

Lahm-Boateng-Martinez-Alaba
------------Luiz-------------

but this would be the case in like 6-8 games the whole season because everyone plays defensive. What could be possible with him is some sort of crazy 3-0-6-1 or 3-1-6-0 that pep kinda tried at the end of barca because from what i have seen luiz is very good in defending a lot of space on hits own. With that it would also make sense of keeping only Lewandoski and a 37 year old Pizzaro in the roster.

I´m pretty sure Thiago will play the holding role.

Wc in Qatar is the biggest joke. It really makes me feel like the world is a bad place, I never would have thought that Qatar could possibly get it. there are 280k Qataris and theyll have 8 stadiums (some have more seats then the city theyre in).
Its rather obvious they dont value human rights at all and think they are the kings of the world.
total sellout


lol Barca cant afford nicer blankets than those?
