1. If the FIFA World Player of the Year award existed many years before 1991, How high up in the rank do you think Hugo Sanchez would have been in during his Real Madrid era?
2. How much do you think Hugo Sanchez’ transfer fee would be (in today’s currency) during his best years at Real Madrid?
3. If Rafael Marquez had the option to switch to any team he wanted, What team would YOU as a fan, like to see him in?
4. If you could bring back 1 (and only 1) Mexican player from the 1990′s to be in el Tri, who would you bring back? (This question is obviously fiction but for fun)
5. If Mexico, who is improving game by game, were to have the World Cup 2010 in Mexico, and played all their games in el Azteca, how far do you think they’d get?
6. If the directivos had any brains, and scheduled 3 friendlies for Mexico in Mexico instead of USA, which 3 teams would you like them to play?
7. Who do you dislike the most, the directivos of Concacaf, or of FMF?
8. Is it fair for a coach (Chelis) to be fined and have to apologize to Concacaf for taking the mexican teams out of Copa Sudamericana and getting angry at the decision?
9. Do you like Obama more or less for liking football (soccer) and, being the president of the US, obviously roots for USA?
10. What country (not continent) would you like to visit some day in your life?

7 South Americans In Brazil 2014 World Cup? A Dream Come True?

most south americans as myself have always thought that our continent deserves a lot more world cup spots , hell, we are only 10 nations and we have won 9 world cups and 10 U-20 world cups.. for Brazil 2014 world cup, Brazil of course won’t play qualifiers, and the remaining 9 south Americans nations will play for 4.5 places, so that means 6 world cup spots, but what if a south american wins 2010 world cup? historically, europeans never win a world cup when the world cup takes place outside of europe.. us south americans have lift the world cup trophy in europe, north america, and asia… i’m 100% sure a south american national team will win 2010 world cup, let’s say argentine or uruguay or chile or colombia or paraguay win 2010 world cup,. and let’s say the FIFA decides that this team will qualify automatically to 2014 world cup.. that would mean, 7 south american teams in brazil 2014 world cup!

Who Do You Think Will Win 2018 & 2022 Fifa Bid To Host World Cup?

2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cup bids
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The bidding process for the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cups is currently under way. These will be the 21st and 22nd editions of the FIFA World Cup. The bidding procedure to host both the 2018 and 2022 FIFA World Cup began in January 2009, and national associations had until February 2, 2009 to register their interest.[1] The executive committee of FIFA will announce their decision on the two editions in December 2010.[2] Candidates have applied for either or both of the 2018 and 2022 tournaments, but the 2022 hosts will not be chosen from the same continent as the 2018 hosts.[3]
Nine individual nations registered their intention to bid with FIFA by the February 2009 deadline: Australia, England, Indonesia, Japan, Qatar, Mexico, Russia, South Korea, and the United States. Mexico later withdrew its bid. It had also been reported on the FIFA website that Egypt was entering a bid, but the president of the Egyptian Football Association denied that any more than an inquiry in principle had been made.[4] Additionally Belgium and the Netherlands registered to bid together, as have Portugal and Spain.[5] FIFA confirmed the list of bidders in March, with South Korea and Qatar bidding for 2022 only.[6]

Can Long Distance Relationships Really Work?

My boyfriend is going to Stockholm University in Sweden on a scholarship to study medicine after he graduates from high school. I’m going to a local college to learn about Liberal Arts. We’re very serious about each other and we’ve been talking about marriage as soon as we’ve graduated from our respective colleges and are on sound financial feet. I’m just a little worried about him been on another continent for at least 4 years. Can a long distance relationship like this really work? I know it’s still 2 years away, but I’m concerned about this.

Why is there 13 European countries in the FIFA world cup 2010?
and simply in every cup, there was more European countries playing than any other continent.
I tired to google it but no one seems to give a straight answer.
is it simply racism, knowing that FIFA ‘s HQ is in Europe, and 7 of its 8 presidents were European.
these are the numbers of the qualified teams:
Asia: 4
Africa: 5
North America: 3
South America: 5!!!
Oceanic: 1
Europe: 13!!!
