President Barack Obama has slammed football officials after America lost out in its bid to host the 2022 World Cup finals. FIFA officials were instead swayed by Qatar's megabucks campaign, choosing them for the World Cup bid in twelve years time.youtube.com I think it was the wrong decision,' Mr Obama said at the White House, joining thousands of disappointed Americans who watched the announcement from Zurich, where a video message from him had been part of the U.S. Obviously we're very disappointed.youtube.com To come up short is very difficult to take,' said U.S. Soccer Federation president Sunil Gulati. He called the defeat 'a setback in moving the sport forward' in a long-sceptical U.S.


From that point it's an opportunity lost. Will we get there? I'm confident we will. It's going to take longer. Qatar, who also beat competition from Australia and 2004 World Cup co-hosts South Korea and Japan as it netted the award to be the host nation of the forthcoming soccer event. FIFA president Sepp Blatter confirmed the small Middle Eastern country's successful bid following a vote by the governing body's 22-man executive committee today. The Arab nation were fancied to win the right to host the event, having ploughed millions into their campaign. The FIFA committee ignored the fact that the country has very few of the required stadia or facilities which the USA and Australia already has in place.


It was the second major sport bid loss for Americans in as many years. Mr Obama attended last year's International Olympic Committee vote on the 2016 Summer Games site when his hometown, Chicago, was ousted on the first ballot. Only minutes after Qatar was announced as FIFA's choice for 2022, frustrated U.S. U.S. Soccer's Twitter site. Gutted', 'USA Soccer is set back another 20 years' and 'Qatar? Wow. Soccer actually just got less relevant in the U.S.' were among the shocked reactions. If anyone needed confirmation that the whole process is rigged, there ya go'. Qatar's staging of the tournament had also come in for [http://www.hgtv365.com/ MLB중계] some criticism because of the weather in the country during June and July - when temperatures can rise as high as 50 degrees Celsius.


The close proximity of the stadiums had also raised some questions. It was probably of no consequence that, earlier in the day, Morgan Freeman fluffed his lines while putting forward his support for the Go USA bid. Freeman somehow missed out a whole page of his script during a speech to to FIFA delegates in Zurich. Former U.S. President Bill Clinton was also on hand to see his country lose out. In a speech at FIFA's headquarters yesterday, the honorary chairman of the USA Bid Committee said: 'I believe FIFA is the main reason soccer has become a unifying force.


FIFA was not convinced, however, and instead awarded the soccer finals to the tiny Gulf state. The Middle East has never before hosted a major global sporting event and Qatar's win on Thursday will do much to boost the region's global profile, analysts said. FIFA voters were likely to have been swayed by Qatar's hefty financial prowess as for the world's largest exporter of liquefied natural gas money is no object. It is likely to spare no expense in constructing stadiums for the event.youtube.com The ultra-modern Lusail Stadium, which has yet to be built, will host the opening and final matches.


Under the proposals submitted to FIFA, Qatar would renovate three stadiums and build nine new ones, with the 12 stadiums divided among seven host cities. 3 billion, the bid estimates. Thank you for believing in change,' said Qatar's current ruling Emir of the state, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani. Qatar will stage a World Cup in and around Doha in a desert summer but promises state-of-the-art technology to cool fans and players alike. At malls in Doha, people gathered at electronic shops to watch the voting on television. On a busy Thursday night, the stores and restaurants were at a standstill as the vote was announced. And then came the huge roar when Blatter pulled 'Qatar' out of the envelope. Qataris and others - including workers from south Asia - immediately started dancing in the streets along Doha's Gulf waterfront. Some blew the vuvuzelas that became synonymous with the World Cup in South Africa. We have worked very hard over past two years to get to this point,' Al-Thani said. Today we celebrate, but tomorrow, the work begins.

The NFL's limited antitrust exemption has nothing at all to do with labor law, it only allows the league to negotiate TV contracts as a single entity. Which brings us back to the NFL. The NFL is a monopoly. We know this because New York Jet Freeman McNeil won an antitrust suit against the league in 1992. But if the NFL is a monopoly, then how is it legal under our nation’s antitrust laws? The answer is the NFLPA. See, unions are exempt from U.S. So practices that would be anti-trust violations if performed by a business suddenly become legal if they are performed as part of a collective bargaining agreement with a union.

BEIJING (AP) - Two Canadian citizens were detained in China recently after Canada seized a Chinese business executive wanted by the U.S. Below are profiles of the two men, one a diplomat on hiatus working for an international think tank, the other an entrepreneur and business consultant dealing with North Korea. China on Thursday confirmed they had both been detained on Monday. A Toronto native and resident of Hong Kong, Kovrig most recently was working as a senior adviser for northeast Asia at the International Crisis Group, a Brussels-based think tank on global affairs.youtube.com Kovrig went on leave without pay to take up his position nearly two years ago and no longer holds a diplomatic passport - or the immunity that bestows.


In this image made from a video taken on March 28, 2018, Michael Kovrig, an adviser with the International Crisis Group, a Brussels-based non-governmental organization, speaks during an interview in Hong Kong. Canadian Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale confirmed on Tuesday, Dec. 11, 2018, that Kovrig, a former Canadian diplomat, was arrested Monday night in Beijing, China. The arrest comes amid a dispute between the two counties over Canada's arrest of a Chinese executive at the request of the United States. As first secretary and vice consul at the Canadian Embassy in Beijing from 2014 to 2016, Kovrig speaks Chinese and he traveled around China conducting field research on politics and government policies and meeting with contacts, including dissidents.


Such work is common among diplomats and foreign journalists in China, but viewed with deep suspicion by China's ruling Communist Party, raising the possibility Kovrig could be charged with espionage. Kovrig is thought to be in his late 40s. He has been a frequent commentator on China affairs for the foreign media, including The Associated Press. He is very capable and a "very smart guy," who is extremely knowledgeable about China, a former Canadian ambassador to China, David Mulroney, told the Toronto Star. Kovrig also worked for the United Nations Development Program after graduating from the University of Toronto and Columbia University. China-based Spavor is known for his contacts with high-ranking North Korean officials, including leader Kim Jong Un, with whom he has been photographed shaking hands and laughing.


In 2015, Spavor founded Paektu Cultural Exchange, a non-governmental organization that works to facilitate sports, cultural, tourism and business exchanges with North Korea. It's one of a few organizations promoting interactions with North Korea that have at times drawn criticism for avoiding criticism of the regime's human rights abuses. The group's Facebook page advertises a five-day trip to North Korea over the New Year, including a visit to the Demilitarized Zone and a hot springs resort. In this image made from video taken on March 2, 2017, Michael Spavor, director of Paektu Cultural Exchange, talks during a Skype interview in Yangi, China. A second Canadian man is feared detained in China in what appears to be retaliation for Canada's arrest of a top executive of telecommunications giant Huawei. The possible arrest raises the stakes in an international dispute that threatens relations. Canada's Global Affairs department on Wednesday, Dec. 12, 2018, said Spavor, an entrepreneur who is one of the only Westerners to have met North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, had gone missing in China. Spavor's disappearance follows China's detention of a former Canadian diplomat in Beijing earlier this week.
