February 2, 2011

Russia won the race and in 2018 hosted the FIFA World Cup and the tourism industry in Germany has its disappointment, as he had planned to tap their potential as a tourist target has awarded the contract to host the tournament International.

The optimal design of honor, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has assured that the visa rules of FIFA in 2018 would be waived for all Russian foreign tourists with tickets to the game a.

The general perception in the United Kingdom,offer that was one of the strongest competitors in, is that the country the opportunity to host 2018 FIFA World Cup scattered according to a recent revelation of the British press (BBC and The Times) on cash for the scandal because of the vote FIFA executive members of which two were suspended and fined one.

unhappy with referee Webb Holland

January 26, 2011

Netherlands coach Bert van Merwyjk spoken against referee Howard Webb after his side's 1-0 defeat by Spain in the final of the FIFA World Cup 2010.

The game in a physical fight to deny that in 13 Dutch players earn yellow cards, including two and a dismissal of Heitinga brought deteriorated.

Van Merwijk felt the referee had controlled the game well and that his team was not the only fouls.

Dutch fans booed Webb and hisworkers in the country during the awards ceremony. Webb had a difficult task to do in a final, has seen a record number of reservations and other serious accidents.

Players have won nine bookings and Holland were lucky to have 11 players on the field in the first half, according to de Jong planted his boots on the chest of Xabi Alonso.

Netherlands were particularly annoyed when Webb refused to award a corner after a Wesley Sneijder free kick deflected out of play by Fabregas. Holland defender Mathijsenearned a booking for protesting moments after Iniesta goal sealed the fate of Holland.

Arjen missed a couple of one-to-one chance foiled by Casillas in the Spanish target was. In the second of them, Puyol went off the seals from the penalty spot. Robben took issue with Webb awarded a free kick and a second yellow card Puyol. Webb awarded seals of a card for his trouble.

FIFA World Cup 2010 – Group H Preview

January 25, 2011

Spain has been the dominant team in Group H. The top rankings of the Euro 2008 champions are the favorites to win the World Cup. The closest they came to win the award was difficult semifinal end of 2002, when the event was organized jointly by Japan and Korea. I can not think of Chile, Honduras and Switzerland to mount any challenge to the hegemony of Spain in the group.

That said, the pressure of expectation is heavy in Spain. They are the team in shape, come from within€ successful campaign.

Spain hopes to obtain from the group matches without much fuss, in their pursuit of their championship. In David Villa and Torres have a more powerful combination attacks that most of the defense can be deceiving.

David Villa Xavi and Xabi Alonso is trying to support midfielder Sergio Busquets. Pedro, they just show support for the two in front, in case one of them were on the bench for some reason. Torres could be particularly important in SpainEquation of things, as indeed demonstrated in the final of Euro 2008, where he scored the winning goal.

In Carlos Puyol can have an all-rounder Spain lead the rest of the line of defense if any opposition front on a rampage. He is also capable of hunting with dogs, if necessary – really a dream for every coach.

Spain and Switzerland met last in 1989. Neither team is the one that was then. Switzerland has always been something of a worker, and only scrapedthrough qualification. Spain has played Chile, 2-0, 1950 in the cabinet, its recent meeting in a friendly in 1950, finished 3-0 for the promotion in Spain. Honduras has a better performance against Spain, a 1-1 draw in World Cup 1982.

South American teams, Chile and Honduras, have never met in any World Cup before. They won two of the four test matches played in the last ten years.

Switzerland has met and lost 1-3 to Chile in the toilet in 1962. Honduras has never played against the Swiss,expect that the best preservation of them, because the relative strengths of both teams.

Then, the second in this group might be a choice of seats between Chile and Honduras. The winner is expected to Brazil, taken within the last 16 years. It 's like falling out of the pan fan the fire. It is a cruel world!
