No Beer At Brazil World Cup?

Guy:Incognito · 19-01-2012 05:00PM

What bastards FIFA are. Completely reversing their way of doing business for the 2014 world cup and imposing all these new and unheard of demands on Brazil. Oh wait..............

Brazil chose to bid for the world cup, so they know they play by FIFA's rules. If they didnt rerad the small print thats their fault.

FIFA are knobs about this and Brazil will end up selling Budweiser at the games. The same happened in Germany in 2006, Budweiser doesn't adhere to the Rheinheitsgebot and the name Budweiser belongs to Budwar in Germany, yet this piss was still sold at the games using the brand Bud.

Plus I remember some Dutch fans having to change their clothes as they had beer logos on their shirts that were not Budweiser :rolleyes:

Isn't Budvar in the Czech Republic?

FIFA are a corrupt bunch of c*nts anyway, Im sure Brazil will back down if they threaten to move the WC, Im not sure they could though this late?

of course they could.... many countries could easily take the world cup at 2 years notice without much effort....... UK, France, Italy are some to name a few

How delightful that they take a stand on the important matter of selling beer but laugh off the completely trivial matter of homosexuality being illegal in Qatar.

Wait wait wait. This is serious.

Will beer be available in Qatar?

Stupid question time. Why?

Because Quatar is an Islamic state and a such does not recognise Israel's right to exist and so does not recognise Israelie passports.

I worked in Abu-Dhabi for a while and before I went I had to get a new passport as I would not have been allowed in with an Israelie stamp on my old one...

Any country with nonsense laws should not be allowed host such sporting events but unfortunately FIFA are currupt to the core and are scumbags to boot...:mad:

This report makes no sense.
I was at a footbal match in Rio and they sold beer inside the stadium, outside the stadium and the hallways leading to your seats. everywhere.

Seems bit stupid to say that they don't.

FIFA are even worse hypocrites than our government.

Wasn't it awhile ago they mentioned that Governments cannot get involved in the affairs of FIFA, otherwise their football team would be suspended. But here we have FIFA getting involved with Governments and legislation.

Hypocritical bastards.

Whatever about that, I cant wait until the 2022 world cup. If Israel qualify they will not be allowed to play in Qatar.

They would have a good chance of doing well too, what with their players being used to playing in 47 degree heat.

There won't be any bother; the Qatari government have already said they will allow Israel to play. However, they mention that they will name them as the "Israeli Soccer Confederation", thereby not recognising them as a country.

Seems fair.

Yeah it will; Qatar allow alcohol consumption under certain circumstances. But it won't matter, 'cause everyone will probably have to drink nothing but chilled water to avoid passing out from heatstroke.

I never said it wasn't. I said that Budvar own the rights to the name Budweiser in Germany, not Anheuser Busch.

Not quite. The rule is not that governments can't get involved with the affairs of FIFA, but that governments are not allowed to get involved with the affairs of their individual countries Football Associations, e.g., the Irish government couldn't decide to sack John Delaney or Trappatoni without repercussions from FIFA.

Nothing hyprocritical or unusual about FIFA and the Brazilian FA + government having these meetings, they are a standard feature of each World Cup. For South Africa at this stage they would generally have been about spectator and player safety and the slow pace of stadium building. The fact that they are already onto ticketing and sponsorship for the 2014 tournament is positive news.

Drink will be readily available in the designated fan zones for each match. Each fanzone and stadium will have carbon neutral outdoor air conditioning. I wouldnt write off the Qatar World Cup, I actually believe it will be a complete success. The Russian World Cup will have far more problems imo

Eh the word you're looking for there is Scaremongering

It's the FIFA modus operandi, they pay for nothing and walk away with the profits. They basically forced South Africa to set up special coutrs during the world cup at a cost of millions, and then there were virtually no arrests because there had been an extra 100,000 police reserves trained especially for the event

Brazil will back down because FIFA will threaten them that they will take the World Cup somewhere else, they wouldn't bu the threat is normally enough. I do like that Brazil have refused to deal with Valke anymore, a weasel of a man if there ever was one

No Beer At Brazil World Cup?
