China and India are next
"It's my philosophy to drive forward the expansion of football. The next regions that we need to conquer would be China and India. Football has become a political matter. Heads of state court me. Football has become a monster, but it's a positive monster."

Both can be massive markets, India will be the hard one. Cricket is God there and will fight like crazy to keep Football as the lil sister imo.
Football i would guess is already the No1 professional sport in china.

Re: China and India are next
Small survey sample, but both Indians that I [have] work[ed] with say that football's pretty massive in India, they just don't have players yet to be big internationally - bit like China 5-10 years ago, I guess...redsfan wrote:Both can be massive markets, India will be the hard one.

India qualified for the 1950 world cup and returned home without losing a game.
No country who has never qualified for the world cup should be allowed to host it at the expense of one who has.

India? Well after their last commonwealth games effort, better give them 20 or 30 years notice so they can get their act together and be ready this time.

Re: China and India are next
would it have served australias interest to have submitted a joint bid with indonesia with the final played in aust????

Re: China and India are next
I just wish blatter would shiraz off and die, he's ruining football and him and his corrupt champagne can just shiraz off. Has he paid his swiss tax bill yet?
Re: China and India are next
China maybe, India never. Let them stick to crickette.

Exactly what i was thinking. They couldnt organise a rub and tug in a sangiovese massage palour let alone a Commonwealth Games or a FIFA World CupBomber wrote:India?

Time for some righteous indignation
Re: China and India are next
Dont say that. Ok let me rephrase then. They couldnt organise a set of dice for a fully sick Monaro let alone a FIFA World Cup.

Re: China and India are next
Isn't this getting a little off-topic? We should probably be talking more about this interesting view on dominating the globe in the world of soccer. For one, I do agree that with a strategic mind, anything can be thought of as a conquest for global domination. However, Sepp Blatter is a greedy cunthole that reeks of fish. Lest we forget.COLOSSUS wrote:Being Greek, I can make many a racial comment regarding India's poor football playing ability. Having read the bible, I know that I can get away with it and still go to heaven, which is fully sick. [Insert comment regarding a 'fully sick yiros'].

Dear ol' ex-Swiss-watchmaker Sepp Blatter's ego has run amok.
Is this quote for real: "Heads of state court me"?

How do extremely good looking, intelligent people sound?
Re: China and India are next
Another post, and another directed towards me. Your homosexuality now makes your grenache breath smell seem insignificant. Just come and say it wazza, be a man and admit your a gay lord focker.

Love how you now resort to making up quotes and putting my name to them. You might want to read up on the rules about this although ill let you get away with it for now, all because you are making yourself look like the gay clown you really are As for India, i never commented on their football ability, rather on their ability to host a tournament like the World Cup after their Commonwealth Games debacle but you wouldnt know, you were probably to busy sucking on someones slong to take notice. Also, call Sepp Blatter what you like, he only has FIFAs bottom line as his major interest and i dont blame him to be honest. Just admit that a Muslim beat a Jew at his own game, simple really
