Re: FIFA World Cups Reply #150 – 2015-07-06, 09:51:24 In more news, France and Germany intervened over World Cup votes, says Sepp Blatter.It looks like the mud is being spread around. The result of the Swiss investigation into the awarding of the World Cups to Russia (1018) and Qatar (2022) will be interesting to read. I hope they get it out before the Finals take place!

The Swiss are good at being neutral.

Neither was fascism a concern for the USA at that time nor did it boycott the games.As you probably know, the USA was one of the participants.Besides, should I enumerate some big US corporations which helped Hitler to vage war? ...Anyway, how about a more recent example (one example should suffice so far) instead of yours that is more than 80 years old?Should the FIFA have ban the US soccer team from the 2006 world cup because of the Iraq war which was in breach of international law and based on lies?What sanctions would be appropiate for setting on fire entire regions?Should dirty geopolitical games be extended and used as propaganda on sports and athletes?In case you think it should - who can guarantee that it will be done equitably?You? The USA? Russia? China? Switzerland? Or rather Tuvalu?

Re: FIFA World Cups Reply #157 – 2015-07-08, 10:18:38 On September 30, 1938, British prime minister Neville Chamberlain (an advocate of appeasement), French premier Edouard Daladier, Italian prime minister Benito Mussolini, and Hitler signed the Munich agreement. The Munich agreement ceded the Sudetenland to Germany. In March 1939, Germany occupied and dismembered the rump Czechoslovak state.=======================================My picture or my avatar?

The trouble is that idiots like you make it sound as though corporate America knew in advance of Hitler's plans and in fact that more than 60 million people would be slaughtered in a world war. Moreover you make it seem as if IBM, Ford and Bush's grandfather were not patriotic Americans, but indeed, more evil than Hitler himself. Why do you do stupid shit like this--you sound like rj, only much worse and more prejudiced (jealous).

There is a distinct difference.Feel free to enumerate big corporations from "Spain, Italy..." able to boost with technology German war industry so it can wage war.As for the USSR, you are really funny. It must be your 'intellectual' verbal contribution to global warming.
