[Mendoza]

how can the russians afford to give every ticket holder a free visa and free ground travel?

BBC Sport - Football - David Beckham's passionate World Cup bid presentation

 

[Dave the OAP]

so the russians are saying its ok to come visa free if you have a ticket , BUT not if you dont have one.

Interesting

Won't pay any of the workers probably. Saltmines if they complain.

More to the point, where does that leave people who can't easily get tickets to see their country up front? Whilst I haven't travelled, it seems to me that the beauty of the last few tournaments (inc South Africa) is that people have been rocking up with or without tickets and enjoying the atmosphere. Seems like some sort of harping-back to the USSR where you will stopped and checked at every stage for your tickets (read papers).

Can't remember anything she said

 

[Beach Hut]

Did he just say home shitty ?

 

[ATFC Seagull]

Arshavin played that quite well I thought - perhaps a 5 match ban from the FA?

 

[Telboy]

We could not have done any more. Do you think William has given out tickets to his wedding to the delegates!!

 

[ROSM]

The russian video about the boy dreaming of scoring the winning goal in the final linked very nicely to the section of video about the russian stadia. Given that none of them exist currently that must be a dream sequence too?

 

[Beach Hut]

This is a very stop start presentation, that girl just on was fecking awful in speech

 

[Withnail]

Haven't we spent something like £15 million on this bid? We know they take bungs, why didn't we just give them the money in the first place and save all this voting nonsense.

 

[philsussex]

This is a very boring speech

 

[ROSM]

but once translated you may can be sure that the FIFA members heard her say:

'I'm so desperate to see the world cup in my mafia state that I'll happily let you take me up the gary later tonight'

 

[Beach Hut]

This is gash, this bloke is speaking in pigeon English

but you would?

Abramovich could afford to give every ticket holder a free Visa card and ground travel if it meant securing the vote.

If the Russian women were a honeytrap good enough for the KGB to use, the ones in the bid video will probably be good enough for FIFA delegates.

Following the map with the iron curtain re-drawn on, he's now trying to take ownership of the former puppet states/Warsaw Pact countries!

Give her a break, she's not presenting in her native language. If you can give a speech in front of millions in Russian without making a slip, then I salute you.
