Looks like Qatar getting their money worth. I wonder how much they paid Concacaf for an "invitation" to the tournament? . . By way of Qatar Airways.
Maybe they got a 2 for 1 deal on Gold Cups, given they in next time too...
100.. As we all can see, having fat pockets play a huge role in developing a good team.
... and buying a good team.
Many naturalizad players with NO ancestral connections to Qatar, yet we have self-imposed roadblocks to bringing heritage players aboard.
that might be so, but it’s a fact that they have a very good academy in a country of less than a million that is producing very good footballers. lets not fool ourselves Qatar outplayed the usa last night and looked the more dangerous, but the thing that saved American financial interest was the corrupt concacaf officiating, they all knew that a mexico usa final would bring in the big bucks both with cooperate sponsorship ala television viewership and a packed stadium, no wonder the gold cup won’t be held anywhere else.
I say it’s time that CFU boycott this farce of a tournament, let the north and Central Americans keep their bogus tournament and call it the North American cup since no one else has won the darn thing except for the three North American countries, plus it’s held in North America each and every years, so why not.
the real problem is that we in CFU is inundated with yes men and hungry sticky fingered lackeys who do what they are told while hoping for a wad to line their greasy pockets, and in no part of their responsibilities to their federation and fellow CFU neighbors is taken seriously.
these old coots are only interested in being important to their puppet masters, man like DJW, randy harris, Jeffery web, the Bahamian bloke who blew the whistle on jack’s attempted coup and all the old broke pocket butlers from belize all the way to suriname are nothing but yes men wannabes who’s main concern is to be important but have absolutely no interest in advancing football in their own countries, let alone the CFU region. so sad….where are we going to find men who will stand up to concacaf and fifa to make us our own confederation with our solid block of votes?
