Italian football has never made a secret of the fact to launch healthy with Libyan billion, and also FIFA courted Qaddafi's regime willingly out of international isolation. «Old men and» old ladies "could bring down about now - it would be more than fair.»

With money, one can buy everything. This has proved impressively Muammar al-Gaddafi in the past 42 years. The list of stars who the rich desert man to occur, is getting longer and longer. Nelly Furtado, Beyoncé, usher, Mariah Carey - they all took a hefty fee and sang for the Qaddafi clan. And all of a sudden, their behavior is embarrassing the pop singers, now they want to donate their fees. Mariah Carey did not know for whom she sang, she had been naive and feel terrible to have done with this madness.

And as often happens in times of great political events, dividing people into two categories. In this case, those whom are embarrassed to have taken money from Gaddafi are on one side; Italy is on the other side. At the latest since Berlusconi, every child knows: nothing is embarrassing the Italians.

This can be confirmed in the case of Libya. Especially the Italian Football League benefited from the multi-million dollar oil injection. Since 2002, 7.5 per cent of the top Club Juventus Turin include the company LAFICO. LAFICO is the Libyan State holding LIA and is the second largest shareholder of the Club.

Old ladies be not ashamed

Juventus not ashamed, on the contrary, the Association is shaking. The Supervisory Board met last week, but one was missing: Khaled Fareg Zentuti, Laficos. The absence of one man already tearing a huge hole in the Treasury. 39.5 Million euro net loss implications for the financial year 2010/11. In the previous year, the Club with the help of Libya stood much better: an increase of EUR 14.2 million proud sparkled on the statement. Here, the Club can use now no further problems.

» Old lady «, as the Club is called from the Tifosi, seven is only ranked the Italian League, qualification for the Champions League 2011 is located at unreachable distance. The defeat against AC Milan last weekend was just another step down. It is more likely that the old woman Club ashamed of his poor performance, as for any money. Glad they can be however that Gaddafi's long bragging to join Juventus even more, was just hot air.

Gaddafi is begging money, but actually almost to the good old football tradition in Italy. Greedy, the League investigated the dictator to get a part of the large cake. The Paramour of US Triestina won the million. The playful can this has not much used: athletic the Club was relegated last year, was allowed to remain in the series B, after the AC Ancona's competitors had to file for bankruptcy. Currently, the team is beaten down in last place in the second division. But also in Trieste you ashamed, just like in Juventus, for maximum performance.


Shopping in the Football League, however not enough the eccentric dictator Gaddafi. To watch from afar bored him, just like when the pop star was the motto of the revolution leader: right in the Middle instead of only! So he brought the football in their own country: he paid almost half a million euros for the game to the Italian Supercup between Juventus and Parma AC, which in 2002 was held in Libya. "And again: to date, which has» repentant «Club the Gage not donated.

Gaddafi is Blatters big Idol

Actually, you can not even scold the Italians for their behavior. The most powerful man of football, Sepp Blatter, must have taken the dictators as a great role model. Even if he is more like the calculating Mubarak as the quirky Gaddafi by his personality, he can not expel from his throne.

Determined clawing to the 75th anniversary of his power, wants nothing to do by the resignation. His career as President of FIFA, it is surprising here, began in 1998. Almost the entire 1990s Libya international was very isolated, the UN imposed an embargo in 1992 after the Lockerbie affair.

At the time, al-Saadi Gaddafi FiliuS felt he could easily burnish his country's reputation scratched on through the glittering world of football. Thus, the lone State financed the electoral campaign of Sepp Blatters: cooperation agreements were concluded with 17 African organisations, Ghana's support for Blatter reportedly worth 200,000 U.S. dollars. Blatter won, has been President since 1998, and buys, how you can hear hard votes.

Even though the great dream of the World Cup in their own country is long overdue, the African Championships to be held 2013 in Libya. It is uncertain whether the country has calmed until then. Gaddafi and his clan are not more ramblings from celebrating but with security in their fan curve.

While the Football League is silent, Berlusconi has now set a character: he announced publicly the friendship with Gadhafi. Not on Facebook, but in time-honored fashion television. Juventus Turin has here little resources, the friendship when money starts really in football.

Only when no money is flowing, can the Italian Football League away to his faithful friend and together perish with him: all three Italian teams have lost the first leg of the eighth finals of the Champions League. But it is precisely among friends: when it goes down, then together.

 Like the greats, you can buy the best football players in the world in the FIFA Soccer Manager, put together his dream team and show how the Bunny hop. Who is wise, accumulating a few hundred million and committed Messi, Robben or Messi.

Finally, it plays is with money in football easier, actually even quite simple. Long time, but this was the recipe of success: take much money, to buy the best players and win the trophies of this world. The Chelsea, Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Manchester City are among big proponents of this simple but costly matter.

Just imagine that a few super-rich Rotzlöffel sat together before their game console and all of a sudden had enough of them to have the player only virtually. You wanted more, eventually you are money can buy everything. The Russian oil billionaire Roman Abramowitsch was one of this spoiled boy. in 2003, he bought the FC Chelsea, began the story of the rich man on the mold. The Club was still just as good as bankrupt, the patrons exhibited en masse blank cheques to himself the team properly aufzupimpen à. His training on the PC paid off: three times, Chelsea won the English Championship since then.

And it is suddenly under billionaires in vogue, to keep a football club: half of the English Premier League club has changed hands over the years. Seems to have been best, but Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Member of the ruling family of Abu Dhabi. 2009, he bought Manchester City.

A club without expertise

German clubs were so far unaffected by the Arab money blessing. This is about to change now. A previously mysterious investor from Abu Dhabi to bail out the standing before the bankrupt Club 1860 Munich. After the Süddeutsche Zeitung previously speculated, the unknown investors finally got a name: Hasan Abdullah Ismaik. Even though his fortune for the most part comes from Abu Dhabi, is Ismaik Jordanians. 49 Percent of the shares of the club wants to or rather he is permitted to buy according to the statutes of the German Football League (DFL).

Ismaik wants to shell out €14 million for it. Yesterday he paid a short visit to Munich, now he can shine through the Club, all documents are translated. So but not enough: He wants to vigorously continue to pay, to buy a lot of Nice players. Only the motivation of the buyer remains questionable. While Manchester City at least when buying in the first Division played, 1860 Munich currently not once again makes a decent figure in the second Bundesliga. Although the Club is Club proudly, has but little to do with skill. It remains to be seen whether the millions of early flushing the club into the Premier League.

As the first dare speculation surfaced the presumption made wide, the mysterious patron was wrong only in the Club: indeed the local rivals, FC Bayern Munich, has been weeks of negative publicity: the success spoiled Club has issued last Saturday a sad performance against Borussia Mönchengladbach, bringing up the rear of the table. Pleased with the victory none fans has become at the end probably and players were simply relieved to have finally reached the longed-for third place. Should Bayern not defend this coveted spot can you miss participating in the premier class, an unimaginable disaster. Finally the Champions takes place League final next year in Munich.

Women buy clothes, men football clubs

The local rivals can only dream of such problems 1860 Munich. Although the second Bundesliga team has lost at the weekend against Aachen, but this is still the smallest problem of TSV. The Club is nearing bankruptcy, can no longer pay its players. The unloved city rival has offered his help. «And distracted exactly this gracious gesture of President Uli Hoeneß on Saturday from the shabby kick of the record: in painstaking work made the fans banners and attacked Hoeneß:» who shifted to the blue millions, not has earned our trust.»

But the fans of the other side are little impressed by the help. Rather, they would descend until in the fifth League as further help of FC Bayern. And now this new guy on the mold joins in this preschool class mature idea smaller beleidigter guys.

Still, it remained almost a year to Diego Maradona. Now, he is a new trainer of the Dubai success Club Al Wasl. Except for a few quirky headlines, which will bring nothing but the Club.

When I was little, Diego Maradona was regarded as a God as the God of football. The divine worship, even in Germany, was omnipresent and ranged in my childlike consciousness. She ranged even to the extent that I was wrong again following joke again: small Xassan sits with his Grandma in the Church. «All hibbelig he says to his grandmother:» Grandma, I need so badly to toilet. » My little one, then go but secretly and stand behind the Holy Maradona.» At this point, I always had to interrupt the joke because the adults already had to laugh. Thus, the joke was not even end. I did not understand the punch line at the time, Maradona was, after all, but a Saint.

In some corners of the world, people tell this joke probably today. In the United Arab Emirates, some people go so far as to call Maradona as the eighth wonder of the world. This quote comes from the mouths of Marwan bin Bayat, Vice President Al Wasl, one of the most famous football clubs in Asia.

And exactly at this Club, the eccentric football God signed a coach contract. Diego was actually on the way to the Switzerland. He wanted to listen to there a coach quote. But his connecting flight from Chechnya was late, wait, he didn't. A Superman like Maradona does not appear, the Swiss should have known that fact. But perhaps Maradona also didn't know that waiting in the Switzerland belongs to, that there just everything slower by outfit goes.

Thus, he took a machine to Dubai, where another offer waiting for him. The engine was finally on time according to the motto: first come, first malt. It can be discussed here, whether it was fate or an epiphany of God. Who shoots goals by God's hand or can box, can take for themselves claim to be guided by God. To trust is the strange little man at least to assert this.

From the athletes to the Witzfigur

But if Maradona von Gott was launched when he boarded the plane to Dubai, the Club Al Wasl is infested with the devil then? Or what could be the reason for an obligation of the former heroes? Eventually much has happened since the last won World Championship in Argentina in 1986. The hand of God fought at the time the ball into the goal, Maradona's nimble feet dribbelten the British football players on the sidelines almost floating, he bounced on hard at the end to the ground of reality.

Twice, he almost died from the effects of drugs, made only headlines with scandals, but no longer by successes. A thick Witzfigur, from the legend athletes dribbelndem from the was a junkie. But he stood up again and again, always looked the way back on his throne. Because gods are immortal, the former star had thought likely, when he became coach of the Argentine national team. He saw himself as the one, the true coach of team Argentina.

Messi is just Messi

Without tactics, without a plan, but with love, fun and enthusiasm he wanted to win. He thought well: so my mom has also made this with me before each game there was a hug, a kiss and appeal. In this way he became 1986 World champions, play he could also single-handedly.

However, he relied not only on air and love: he had just an ACE 2010 in South Africa in the sleeve: Lionel Messi. The talented young star could easily be confused with Jesus with the son of the Almighty: Messi, the image of Maradona's. Argentina became the high favorite in the race, she crept after the defeat against Germany humiliated from the field. People are just no gods, Messi is just Messi.


And maybe it was the hand of God, prevented that Messi had shots at the World Championships in South Africa in the gate in the last year. Shot 30 times, 30 times nothing happened. Wanted the sky to prove who's the real boss? The Mission of God is successfully completed in Argentina, Maradona is only a man. He lost not only the position of coach of the national team, he must train today no single team in Argentina more, ban for life.

But still the question what exactly is Al Wasl of the eighth wonder of the world remains unanswered. Just imagine, how Maradona heart the Arab players before each game and kisses, as he painted a cross in the air continuously, rage snaps out, is weeping on the floor, to end up talking yet again only by losses or renewed drug use by itself to make.

The Club in the past won seven titles, most recently 2007. Last season, it was just once fifth - of twelve crews, in the current season the Club stuck four matchdays before the end with 20 points behind League leaders Al-Jazira on square four. And now the eighth title with Maradona's divine help?

Being aware, its unpredictability so the minds of the Association. Secretly they hope probably accept flee quickly by itself. They have used it for a little attention. That got it, after just one day, all major newspapers and news agencies of the world reported on Maradona and Al Wasl. It is not more than a divine joke.

Is the cat out of the bag: Mohamed Bin Hammam in June, FIFA President Sepp Blatter calls out. While many of a revolution in the FIFA talk, Bin Hammam planned this move for a long time.

Villains live dangerously. Especially if they take even more villains to the friend. This just a villain would need to know the laws: it's going to eat and be eaten. Sepp Blatter, the godfather of FIFA, appears to have had little time, even alone to look at the gangster classic in his life. However just he into a Federation has been large, many observers compare with a Mafia family.

Until 1974, the FIFA was a rather small, modest Association. There was cash distributions only every four years after a World Cup, in the cabinets of the bosses were still not bundle, only a few more. It was just about football, not for money. But a small group of ripped guys realized the potential of football: the printing press was born.

And at this time the Brazilian Joao Havelange at the football sky appeared exactly. Havelange had actually to do with football, he was swimmer, water polo player, had participated even in the Olympic Games. But it didn't when he became President. Yes no longer primarily was to the sport, it was money, lots of money.

The price of FIFA: Take and give

If someone can embody a mafia boss from a sleazy gangster movie, then it was Havelange. Like a spider, he harnessed a network of friends in no time. Sly, he realized above all the great benefits of the supposedly weaker countries of Africa and Asia. Finally all votes counted in the democratic world, the FIFA equal, and there are indeed plenty of poor countries. The rulers of these lands often were dictators, didn't bother him.

Sani Abacha, Nigeria's dictator Havelange gave the nickname"the man who keeps his promises"and got as thanks the award of a Junior World Cup in his country. The principle is actually honest: it comes to take and give. Would be executed not opposition in Nigeria at the same time. But that was the price that FIFA had to pay to fill the Club cabinets in only four decades with billions.

Sepp Blatter has copied from precisely these structures. In the 1990s, he explained the dictators of the world to his best friends. He took their money and football that brought them home. His arguably best friend was a long time without question the Katari Mohamed Bin Hammam.

The rich investor from the small Gulf State was one of the major financial backers of Blatters during his campaign. Until its won election in 1998 had the world not expected that the Swiss could prevail against his rival Lennart Johansson. But the world had made the Bill without the money-filled envelopes which changed hands in the environment of choice.

To detect the corruption, you have to understand not even particularly much of it: Havelange had tired of the gangster games and voluntarily left the FIFA. He did favor exercise its influence to Blatters, 2014, Brazil surprisingly is host of the FIFA.


Libya's strauchelnder dictator Muammar al-Gaddafi bought the voices of Africa and 2010 the World Cup in Africa took place, completely democratically, without having ever allowed to apply a country from another continent. Why a World Cup should also not finally discharged in Africa, asked the people and were happy for the continent.

But then came the meltdown of the history of FIFA: the World Cup will take place in Qatar 2022. But it is only really a meltdown, no one who understands the structure of the FIFA was really surprised; Bin Hammam since only he held the ultimate reins in his hands, years in contrast to Blatter so far rather in the background is.

His personal ACE in the sleeve is his long relationship with the Emir of Qatar. The two know each other from Jack times, in which she sat apparently together and forged plans for world domination. At the right time, 1995, the Emir had his own father from power and brought Bin Hammam on the world stage of football. Only a year later the Katari in the FIFA Cabinet sat.

And while Sepp Blatter was seeking able, Bin Hammam look out who exactly should kill him where he wanted to go after the right playmates: to the top. He recognized the villains in Blatter and became his best friend. In the world of football which is very simple: you give money and collect the votes and you have really good friends.

When friends become enemies

Bin Hammam Bill went on: he continued to faithfully, Blatter and secured his position in the FIFA. In return, won Bin Hammam 2002 that choice is that Asian Football President, into a Mafia family just as usual. Shortly after his election, the Desert Fox continued signals that he saw not as a helper, but as a leader. With huge steps, he shot the Asian Football forward.

The Swiss did not fit the self-conscious behavior of his friend and interfered in its business. But Blatter has not considered at this point, that among gangsters friends can quickly become enemies. Long has Bin Hammam fought off to make up for the election to the FIFA Presidency. Indicated he has denied it but always there, confusion is provided, at the end. He has waited until 2022 was the result of the award of the World Cup.

Actually, the trade-off was different: the granting of the World Cup to Qatar should secure Blatter again voices and money. Almost dutifully had Bin Hammam helped to evacuate Blatters close, the South Koreans Chung Mong-Joon, out of the way but still in January. In a vote of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), the billionaire lost his position as one of the Vice-Presidents of Blatters in FIFA's Executive Committee.

Chung Mong-Joon since 2002 tried in vain to meet Blatter from his throne. And also Bin Hammam harsh attacked the South Koreans. Astutely, he described the Katari as criminals. Bin Hammam countered aggressive without to conceal his true face here. Who to place him in the way he beat off head, hands and legs which. At one point, the world of FIFA differs however from the dark world of the Mafia bosses: uncomfortable journeymen are not shot on a hidden backyard, you can simply select and replacing it with a friend of the family: In case the election to the Vice-President by the Jordanian Prince Ali bin Al Hussein, a brother of the King.

Bin Hammam is no revolutionary leader

With this move has Bin Hammam not Blatters main competitors switched off, but his own. Last Friday, he has now officially announced to compete for selection. Even though insiders still don't believe, that Bin Hammam really is, the spectacle of the past years seems like a perfectly staged play. Blatters reputation has suffered greatly through the double award of the World Cup last year and the accusations of corruption.

Some speak of revolution, now the Tunisian spring in the FIFA had arrived. Although adorns Hammam like this to want FIFA make more transparent and end corruption. But he is no revolutionary leader, Hammam is a usurper. Long he has planned this moment, who bought the right people, and given the wrong out of the way. At the end, not he wins better, but the nastier fight Blatter against Hammam.

A year ago, Diego Maradona coached the Club Al Wasl in Dubai. He has achieved nothing yet. Now burst also the last chance for a title this season, his team lost the GCC Champions League final in a penalty shootout

We all have probably: a dream or an idea we want to become what once, when we are big. Doctor, lawyer, singer or just football could be on this list. But what wants to be one even if it already is one of the greatest footballers in the world? Footballers have dreams, what they want to do later? To be coach of the Emirati Club Al Wasl is not definitely on the wish list of a player.

Diego Maradona was once one of the greats. Who was allowed to call themselves already otherwise with impunity the hand of God? He had a vision of early what post he would take after his legendary time as FIFA World Player: the coach of Argentina. He saw himself as the only people the truth, which was allowed to bear this title. That he realized this wish, we all know. We also know that this dream is quickly burst. It was even worse: he got a ban for life, for Argentine clubs. So, Maradona looks today like a politician in exile, banished from the home. A year ago, it moved Maradona to Dubai. The eighth wonder of the world, you had titled it there probably quite to his liking. Convinced had him probably the money and not the slimes: are whopping three and a half million euros plus a private jet for two years on his contract.

Maradona is circling his love handles

A year later now but follows the sober balance: miracle he has brought no cups let alone. Occupied Al Wasl last year still the fifth Patz of twelve teams, the Club now only on the eighth made it. Success is different. Last the team could get the double of League and Cup 2007, it won the GCC Champions League 2010 (here tell GCC). With Maradona the Emiratis had most large, they wanted to build on the successes. Last Sunday there was the last hope this year to bring still the first trophy as coach home. It was the GCC Champions League final. The chances were not even bad, won 3-1 in Bahrain Maradona with his boys in the first leg. As we know the enthusiastic Argentines, he danced omitted after the victory, left circle his Hüftfett in the stiff Bahrain, embraced and kissed his players left out. To win, with a large portion of certainty he step now so in the finals. A bit it reminds even of Munich as Maradona also had a final dahoam. But so the comparison will not succeed. Finally, the Emirates not Germany, Dubai, not Munich and the GCC Championships are probably also the UEFA Champions League. There is an outward and return leg, each team in the Gulf and a trainer has a finale everyone dahoam. Nevertheless, this cup for Maradona was worth not less than Jupp Heynkes his. The joy remained barred from two at the end, both times the penalty shoot-out blew up the big dream.

In his career as a player, Maradona had everything always at his feet – in an emergency in his hands. He then sold it as known as the hand of God. This is not possible in the coach business, he had to learn to do so again once bitter. Here, he can tell players what to do, what tactics against these and those teams might work, how you can win at the end. Play the player must but alone, are any other coaches in the world just on the sidelines and watch, rowing arms, jump can curse like Maradona. He can not run on the field, take the ball and just throw it into the goal. And so explained the defeat: "It was not in my hands".


Majid Nasser sees red

At the end it is not defeat but, hurts the Maradona, it is especially the how. The football world had with Bayern, had so well at the end as no one Chelsea the Cup, could Maradona as opposed to for his guys only ashamed. It was not the goal in the ninth minute, which sealed the downfall. Goalkeeper Majid Nasser was forced to leave the place after. A short scramble and the joy of Muharraqs after the goal provoked him so that a strong SAP with its massive skull missed the scorers. While Nasser already loses a lock over incredible 17 games in the League. In March of this year, he beat Al Ahli coach Quique Sanchez Flores on the back of the head easily. The reason: Al Ahli beat Al Wasl in the semi-final of the Etisalat Cup.

Apparently it Maradona saw as divinely ordained, that the Champions League did not see this lock - finally it does not belong to the domestic competition. But as so often proved Maradona as a coach that he does not always all right. That he can make water but no bread. But maybe he just can do nothing about it. Perhaps, Al Wasl is just, no team can bring to the top with the right attitude. In the 79 minute had Maradona helplessly watch, as was the second player with red square. His protégés have not learned it well to control emotions and anger. Right in front of the Bank of his coach, Al Wasl was rotten players Rashid Essa, Rashid Abdulrehman saw the yellow card for it. You may not know it whether or not provoked Essa was. He may have been simply no desire to play more. He made immediately without further ADO it the goalkeeper of Nasser and brutally stretched Abdulrehman to ground. Now nine left his team-mates on the lawn. Sportsmanship is different. Muharraq won 3-1 at the end. Thus, it was 4-4 after two games, players competed in a penalty shootout. It should not be simply the football God probably thought to himself. Who is so brutal means, has lost nothing on the stairs of the winner. Juan Egnacio Mercier scored his ball in the sky thus greatly reminded of Sergio Ramos of Real Madrid. Also Ramos attack rather than bolt the leather into the goal in the semi-final against Bayern in the star. Al Wasl player Mubarak Hassan scored his in the arms of the opponent's goalkeeper. The thousands of fans in the stadium had nothing to celebrate, while they had tried until the end of their team to assist with loud cries. It has not helped. So solidifies my theory, whether there is perhaps not yet a God. I once wondered if not God look at all games of Maradona's is he accompanied as a coach to thwart his victories at the end. As a small revenge on life, to show who is the true God.

Since the German national team is no longer rumbles through the tournaments, she has her fans everywhere in the world. In Beirut, capital of Lebanon. A report from the classic Germany against Holland.

When the German national team is playing, we suddenly Germany all, we are all a big. But who is entitled to this fact we? Is that an exclusive right of a country or are entitled to the German football-we also people from other countries? In the Lebanon, the answer to the question is clear. «Yesterday, hundreds of thousands of Germany fans hoped for a victory by "us"and cheered after the victory"we have won! «.» But where does the enthusiasm for football in the small Mediterranean? The people there have one thing in common: your country is one neither to Europe, yet it made their national team so far up to the World Cup. You will not forgo good football there but still. So the people on the Mediterranean coast just have other countries found, other teams, where they gave her heart. » The Lebanese fan is a Patriot without leaving home, he gave just his football love another Club ", describes coach Theo Bücker the situation briefly and succinctly.

Rivalry between Germany and Spain

Michel Ghanem is one of them. The 23-year-old is a Germany fan for ten years. "It was the World Cup 2002. I was incredibly intrigued by the team, especially the charismatic Oliver Kahn. " While Kahn was goalkeeper of the national team, Michel wore the Jersey of Kahn. Schweinsteiger is now proudly on his back. » I watch almost every match of the national team. I'm watching the play-offs in bars, the rest with friends at home.» With these friends he has on Facebook group» German football fans (Lebanon) - the national team "founded. Still, the group with 189 fans is quite quiet. In the future, all Germany fans in the Lebanon in this group are to gather here, however. In the Lebanon, it is similar in Europe: the followers of Holland and Germany also don't particularly like, games against each other have a special charm. However, the biggest rivalry there in the Lebanon during the World Cup between Germany and Brazil, during the European Championship between Germany and Spain. "Ninety percent of the Germany fans in the Lebanon are between 17-25 years old. The rivalry is thus based on the last decisive games we have lost ", says Michael Ghanem.


For these European Championships has the Lebanese capital out cleaned up again. To express the enthusiasm for the euro, there must be something more. Huge flags blowing in the street canyons of the Lebanese capital Beirut. Dimensions with which the Antifa to the plan easily could call in Germany. The EM 2012 is a welcome distraction from the crisis reports of the region this year. The situation in neighboring Syria develops more and more to the civil war, including massacres and uncertain output. Not wrong, experts fear that the fighting on the small, civil war-experienced neighbour could skip. The Lebanon is too divided in political as religious ways. And in football? There, the Lebanese are not agreed. However, the lines of conflict not along by political parties and religion run here. Walk along from families. Whether Germany, Italy, France or Spain, one is pure in the Lebanon's personal decision.

The Lebanese acts turns as most Germans

George Saad has decided also to Germany. He peeps all games away in his local pub in Monot. The 29-year-old has seen every game in the past few years, otherwise he is a fan of Bayern Munich. But he may not talk about, too much hurts even the defeat against Chelsea. in 2006, he went to Germany and has seen two games of his team at the stadium. When he tells them he is turns as most Germans.

Further, in the greedy goose, a couple of streets seem to have gathered today all Holland fans of the country. Women have bought uniformly handsome Orange dresses. Sports clothing and face paint absent, women put on chic - mainly orange. It has not helped. Even if the German country fans here were in the minority, at the end, they were the fair. And there is nothing better to win 2-1 against Holland as in a sea of Orange? Oh yes: to overcome Spain in the final.

In Egypt, the revolution has just really started. Ambitious democracy friends fight, want to see heads roll. Far above, the big bosses of the football leagues, once loyal supporters of Mubarak's are on the list.

What do football if stuck a whole country in a revolution? To play no football, anyway. In Egypt, there were three options to choose from. First, The players fled abroad there any upcoming games at rest to prepare for. Option two: You have revolted with. And option three: you were open on the side of Mubarak and fought the revolutionary. One may think himself at this point, people have to do ever better during a decisive hour of fate, as in a football stadium to go. There, the games failed just once as in Germany the school has climbed 30 degrees in the summer, when the thermometer once long-awaited over the.

Mubarak's marketing spectacle

The hypocritical justification in Egypt the revolution may have been to put the Egyptian Premier League in early February. Later, when the first qualifiers for the stood African Cup in March, they took the poor condition of the players as the reason to move the games. The true motivation was much simpler: fear. If the ball is rolling in Egypt, it is not just about football. It is also politics. All pages use the stage of football in their very own way. For the dictator, a game was a pure marketing spectacle.

In the normality of football have always sunbathed the heads of State, gave themselves naturally as cosmopolitan ruler of a satisfied people. » Look forth prefer West, we are like you. Also here 22 sweaty men of a round ball Chase, again hold banners in the amount of fans and cheer when flying the ball into the goal. " The West has seen this always benevolent and smiling back waved. «That one sometimes also on many of the banners "down with Mubarak"there, has one in Egypt like to hide, or eliminated as soon as possible. Because long young Egyptians worked around the football stadium into their own political stage and allowed free rein their disapproval.

One has proved finally clear the Arab world ourselves: A revolution of Hazzard. While the revolution from country to country, the youth in Egypt doesn't give up, continues along the road and demanding their right to democracy. They protected their won freedom as an eyeball and fits precisely that it makes none of the usual suspects but still a thick line through the Bill at the end.


Life is no play

The young guns have so far shown a brave performance. You have not gone home until the unpopular dictator has result in a miserably. But life is no play which simply drops the curtain, when the climax is reached, if the villain is defeated on the ground. Life goes on, really begins after the fall of the tyrant. Mubarak's supporters cling like burs in their posts, try to close the wobbly points in the system to keep the barking hounds at Bay. Before a further explosion of the young freedom fighters, were frightened by the vultures and concluded the stage of ball sports of a short hand.

Muzzled, they wanted to make the protesters. But the stage of grass is past, the new stage is the road. And despite the revolution in football has arrived: the fans clamoring for the dismissal of Mubarak supporters, which are to be found anywhere in football. Their former idols have become enemies: Ibrahim Hassan, al Masry's assistant coach and former player has one of these pesky vultures turned into, which has battled the protesters on Tahrir square. Also Mortada Mansour was allegedly. Mansour is one of the big bosses of Zamalek, which is the most successful Club in Egypt in addition to local rivals of al-Ahly.

Self-confident, football fans now trying to delete the adversaries simply from her piece. The tactic is simple: Pro-Mubarak players will receive in the future just not cheering. The new hate is no whistles, no hate speech, silence. Trainers should be pushed from their posts, no one should be left at the end, who once sympathized with Mubarak. The disappointment of the fans too deep, they will never condone the footballers to have stood on the side of Mubarak's. The rebellious boys of yesterday have become serious opponents, can no longer simply be hidden. In the rumor mill, it vastly seethed that football ultras were the masterminds of the entire revolution. Our insider spot know but better. Many ultras fought while on the front lines against Mubarak, they played but at most a minor role in the ouster of the despot.

The vultures can fly further

The ball is rolling again in Egypt. Clubs were after the long break just before the bust, players could no longer be paid. The football stage in Egypt is reopened, will change in the future but. Mubarak and his supporters pumped millions into the sport to buy so a little international standing. Whether the clubs still get stuck to Government funds, is open. But the fans have lost the first battle: coach Hassan Shehata to be dismissed for the time being. He also was a close ally of Mubarak's. The demands of the fans, nor the defeat against South Africa on March 26 could shoot him from his post.

Now the players even in the hand have to be rid of their coach. They lose as long as they want to recapture the hearts of fans, their games until a coach is forced to resign. Because it has in common with the West also Egypt: at the end of only the success is in the eyes of the Club bosses. But where the political stage is the road, it is perhaps soon in Egypt at football matches times just one: football.

Go instead to meet in a duel, Mohamed Bin Hammam and Sepp Blatter in the struggle for power in world football the claws as zickende model candidates. This is neither worthy nor male, refrain from it once was.

Earlier, men were real guys: fought a there was an argument between two opponents, was to duel. Knowing that one dies at the end, it came with a gun armed at dawn to a deserted clearing. Two men, mist, that's it. Only one could win, only one could survive. But that was to the be a man. Long gone are the days of manhood. Now also one of the last domains of man died miserably: the Football League.

FIFA, world football's highest body sinks into a mud-slinging as even Heidi Klum's topmodel not more beautiful had to stage it. It has really started on March 19, 2011, as Mohamed Bin Hammam his candidacy for the election of the President of the FIFA announced. He was long regarded as ally of Joseph Blatters, now he competed against him. He did this not with a gun in his hand, but with extended claws. He seemed attentive» «to have looked at Germany's next top model. In the next episode on Thursday could Bin Hammam and Blatter loose Anna-Lena, scheming Rebecca and co. on the wall.

This, but the links were between the award of the World Cup to Qatar and alleged corruption of the duo Blatter Hammam clearly on the table. In the battle for the supreme power in world football, the former allies has say Blatter and his sleazy machinations and it dug itself a pit is. The mafia world of FIFA becomes a playground of zickiger Brats.

A playground of zickiger Brats

For months, serious corruption accusations follow Blatter, his downfall seemed objectively sealed but just objective. No one has calculated with its dethroning really, the structures of FIFA are too predictable. His Votestacking in all three elections to the FIFA President are an open secret, but acquits Blatter the FIFA's Ethics Committee. You could show him no corruption. The word ethics is at this point a whole new meaning. It is not about morality, but money, what else? The beauty of FIFA is that everyone is for sale. You can rely at least on here.

And while Elisa has just yet wild gezickt Hammam, he now sits in the dock: he is accused to have bought the votes of Caribbean associations for his candidacy. This time, Blatter has shown the finger at his rival, denounced him to the Ethics Commission. A SMS which is allegedly to have sent Hammam his rival, is considered evidence base. » Joseph, am completely ready, have two hours money case passing behind me.» «You can practically see the great men before him, they run in a row with ponytail and high heels and yell: "but he said that...»


And suddenly, Hammam is the selfless Messiah: love for soccer he had withdrawn his candidacy. He wanted change FIFA, make them better, not to soil her name through the mud. From this cat fight he wanted to get out better, but this picture does not fit. Like a wounded Diva he clears the field. So but not enough: Suspended they have it, the self appointed moral standards of FIFA. He had to resign his post as President of the Asian Football: found guilty before he could say anything. Warner have put his new accomplice Jack outside the door with the moral men of world football, finally he had Bin Hammam backed in his machinations.

The men have by Heidi Klum models learned much: women not just give up and move away offended. They fight, Jamie and shouting until they get right. And now all unpack. Everyone wants to know who said what because now when. Cell phones are unsheathed, checked Facebook profiles, emails scanned. Those who want to win no matter how.

Back Blatter remains alone, without a rival candidate in sight, Cheers to the democracy of the FIFA. Speculation about the spectacle offered are many, but they remain only theories at the end. One is the FIFA security: a fruitful victim for wild conspiracy theories. So came during a hot discussion in the zenith editors the idea, Blatter and Bin Hammam could have staged the mud together. The nagging and marked should result in confusion to ensure Blatters re-election at the end.

Bin Hammam has not done his homework

One has foreseen the zenith insider, that Bin Hammam would withdraw his candidacy two days before the election. Therefore, no time to send a new candidate in the race remain. The democracy of FIFA is in safety, eventually it gave Yes a second candidate. This would be a careful out plan, so he has worked smoothly: the deep fall of Katari has rehabilitated the embattled Blatter, the Ethics Committee has acquitted him. And she must know it.

Bin Hammas candidacy a PR trick, a move of two evil guys who secured power Blatters by a perfidious plan to expand their power-crazed goals at the end? No, this story seems even someone like me, a big proponent of conspiracy theories, too conniving.

At the end had Bin Hammam does not thoroughly done simply homework. It seemed so, he acknowledged determined all the characters out of the way, that stood in the way. As he planned the step of his candidacy for a long time, Blatters downfall is a done deal. But he has made the Bill without his opponent. Hammam has built up Blatter, seen the henchmen in him, he needed at the time. The predictable Katari has used Blatter for the own ascent, but forget who was his teacher: himself. He has made powerful too powerful it.

The battle Bin Hammam against Blatter was a battle between two villains. There is no man of honour against a villain in the FIFA. «Even if the British Premier David Cameron demanding that the election due to "grimy shops «move, Blatter will win today the election as FIFA President for the fourth time. A battle among men is different.

In any Arab country, so many married couples get divorced like in Egypt. The fanatical man love for soccer is to blame. A fight between wife and ball.

The final whistle sounds, stunned eyes stare to the canvas at the taped up just yet hopeful eyes. Shock, the hope is buried under a single whistle, under a sheet. Silence, the impossible has become true. The Association of the heart has lost all decisive battle.

The world of football is a private Cosmos, a parallel world, which is a bizarre affair for the uninitiated. Only a few verbs that are necessary to describe the peculiar species of football fans are cheer and shout, cheer and curse, happy and cry. For every game, gather the followers like lemmings in dark, smoke-filled pubs, dignified present the Jersey of their clubs on their chest. Beer drinking at home let their good manners. Football is a man's sport, the Nite guys return the proudly outward, secluded from the outside world.

The special thing about this peculiar genus: Exist everywhere in the world, description is universal, only alcohol is missing in some places, neatly mobbed men who molested is nevertheless. » We are football «the genus combines worldwide, makes cultural differences fade. But while football as a social norm is recognized in our latitudes, the life of the species of the football fans ruled in Egypt of the sport. It is an escape from the dreary everyday life, a break from the male life full of financial worries, a valve against the economic swoon. In the role of the fans aggression can be dismantled, to the frustration of the soul yelled at - a door that remains locked in everyday life.

Football is a religion

When I went through my first Bundesliga and with her became the Champions League, I, how dense pleasure and pain can lie together. The great excitement and the amounts of adrenaline, which are awarded on a gate, just like the deep pain, but a goal if the opposing team. You feel personally attacked the day-long bad mood in a crucial defeat, as well as the terrible comments of others you entered under insults, finally. Suddenly, I realised how misunderstood are men in the world of women. » Is just a game ", it means facing uncomprehendingly. By due! It is seriously pleased or seriously grieved, fun is here understood not.

The following situation is known both sexes: football games are non-negotiable deadlines. There is no discussion, no exception, football is a religion, the games such as the compulsory course in the Church or just the mosque. The loving husband becomes a hooked fan. Expectations and anticipation of the game determine the day victory or defeat decide the mood after the game. Love is like a Russian roulette, it is no longer his own fortune, decide that others do when: 22 men and a ball.

In Egypt women have possessed full muzzle spouses from football. You have tired to determine their football lives. And the women on the Nile also really don't have it: together laboriously saved money for the holiday or less luxury goods the faithful fan invested rather in the sought-after Stadium visits. And if the money is spent, he sits in vest dressed at home and fires his boys, in football must be exactly together, so among men. For love, because little time remains, that got the wife to understand.


There can be no compromises

But the uncomprehending woman wants to understand: pulls in the fight against the ball, wants to stamp out the genre of football fans, but without success. The Egyptian man can not take his soccer, tired has the nagging wife. He feels misunderstood, threatened in his world. In football, there can be no compromise, the divorce is the last resort.

About the rising divorce rate responsible have silent long, about the reasons also. And in fact the majority of divorced couples in Egypt consist of a fanatical football fan and an uncomprehending wife - football as the biggest enemy of love.

While the divorce rate for each football season has boom, the question how much football in a relationship may be actually remains. Love has a chance if the species of the fans in his world for themselves alone celebrates the passion, the partner does not share the veneration of his club? The answer is no. This is not about to do, but must. Not the football kills the marriage, but the horned wife in the fight against the ball. While the love is based on compromises, there can be none in football. At the end, she can only learn to understand that soccer just is not a game.

Only last week, FIFA President Sepp Blatter wrote the Israeli Football Association a letter. It was Mahmud Sabri about the imprisoned football player. Today, he is taken to a hospital, in July, he is finally free.

It was a hard way of the Mahmud Sabri has chosen. Go he wanted him to the end, if it had to be until his death. In June 2009, the Israeli army has imprisoned Palestinian internationals today 25, former. He was accused to be a member of the Islamic Jihad, he should have planned bombings against Israel. He had always rejected the accusation. Three years it has held him without any negotiations, without a trial. Sabri was a special case in comparison to many other prisoners. He belonged to the category of 'unlawful combatant', 'illegitimate combatants'. An Israeli law allows simply to hold these people indefinitely.

Release or death

Over three months ago, Sabri began to take his fate even in the hand. He started a hunger strike, like many other inmates. Stop he just wanted them when Israel finally free could be him, or allows him at least an ordinary process. The other alternative was death for him. At the end, he weighed 30 kg, his condition was life-threatening. Yesterday it was finally so far: Sabri ended his strike, ate a piece of chocolate as evidence. Today he is to be introduced in a hospital, on 10 July followed by the final release. His dismissal ended one of the longest hunger strike of a Palestinian in an Israeli prison probably.

Only last week called Jibril Rajoub, President of the Palestinian Football Association (PFA), 2013 to evade the hosting of the under-21 European Championships Israel. In a letter to UEFA President Michel Platini he expressed his concern to health of Sarsaks and another jailed player.

Reason for now sudden release of football player is unquestionably the switching of FIFA President Sepp Blatter. In a letter to the Israeli Football Association he called a reasonable process for jailed players. He further pleaded that the player is granted to physical integrity. But other celebrities like the former Manchester United player Eric Cantona, or the filmmaker Ken Loach played an important role. They collected signatures and were to draw attention to the necessary media whirl to the public on the situation.

Pressure on Israel by pages of UEFA

Yesterday, the Israeli Football Association published a letter. Is the President announced UEFA that 2013 will U-21 European Championships in Israel as announced will take place, "but not without a certain amount of pressure on us to put" the Association in the letter writes.

According to Israel, the only prisoner in the category 'illegitimate combatants' should have been currently Sabri. Whether this information is true or not: so far in any case, Sabri was the first prisoner, who has experienced a such international attention and assistance by a hunger strike. While the other prisoners long before it ended the hunger strike, he not just stopped. At the end he has forced not only his release, he has drawn media attention to Israeli prisons. Because there, thousands of Palestinian prisoners needlessly arrested part, so far in vain waiting for a trial.

Qatar has once again shown: you can buy everything with money. Without further ADO, al-Jazeera has purchased the broadcasting rights of French football. In France, it went with a new transmitter at the start and shows the Euro 2012.

Somehow one thing belongs to football in Germany: the bleating. But now the national team provides little reason for criticism, people began to understand that the Group of death because of Germany and not Holland is named, newspaper journalists and viewers with popular TV presenters and commentators of the ARD and ZDF embrace. They come up with a reason: incompetence, too much unnecessary drivel, sometimes they mention even to little, as the thunderstorm and the game last Friday. In France, the situation is very different.

The French have been robbed. It has simply removed them from the television plan parts of EM. On Tuesday, the French are lucky again: cozy at home, you can track the game against Sweden. They do not have this privilege on all days of the Championship. So, they could not pursue as Greece simply kicked the Favorites Russia out of the tournament. Only in pubs, or just against cash. The dilemma of the Qatarische television giant al-Jazeera behind. After TF1, M6 and Canal + were too hesitant and wanted to pay mainly for little money, suggested to al-Jazeera. Twice have simply paid the station and made perfect as the business. Canal + had miscalculated himself. So easy it can be. The broadcaster acquired in addition to the rights for the Euro 2012 rights of the Champions League and Ligue 1. Since the Frenchman can be glad seeing football as a kind of human rights: according to French legislation, certain games on public television to be broadcast, this is stipulated in the so-called 'white list'. Thus, al-Jazeera could acquire no exclusive right for many of the games. Nevertheless, M6 and TF1 have although the broadcasting rights to many games, al-Jazeera has brought the old guard of the main journalists and football stars in the team itself. Darren Tulet and François Pécheux, to name only two.

Qatar aggressive shopping alarmed politicians

On June 1, al-Jazeera now accompanied the specially newly created channel at the start: leg sport 1. The second transmitter follows in July, just in time to the beginning of the League. For the development of the channel al-Jazeera was no other than Canal + CEO Charles Bietry. Baladi sport 1 is now Vice President of leg, finally he know himself well with French television. To properly digest you can't do the news. The Frenchman, probably noticed in France, can the EM and watch the Champions League only on the channels al-Jazeera? And must even pay? France goodbye thus became the first country in Europe completely free TV in the Champions League, only the finale is on the 'white list'. Politicians in France are already alarmed. The aggressive purchasing of Qatari irritated and scares them both. Now, you request an extension of the white list. Charles Bietry reacts immediately and stated that al-Jazeera had never before even the rights to purchase the Tour de France or the League Cup. This will not occur, this remains a clear right for all.

It is not the prices that scare off the French. In the month of leg euros measly 11 sports, a real bargain. Refinance Qatar so hardly can the two new channels. Approximately 300 million euros annually estimate experts the cost of leg sports 1 and 2. Since many subscribers in France must be found. Nasser al-Khelaifi, Managing Director of al-Jazeera sport, is also here not in the cards look. He reveals not how many television subscribers he needed to to get the cost or how much he actually paid for the rights. Certainly not, how many subscribers it already on his list has. But somehow it doesn't seem even as this was his goal.


Nasser Al Khelaifi

Qatar uses large market entry in France above all, to export their own expertise. And to test, because France is only the beginning. Finally, the giant is market leader in the Middle East. All 17 sports broadcaster al-Jazeera can call his own, transfers the Champions League, the Primera División, and other large events in the entire Arab world. The transmitter will continue to expand. He has other, bigger. Country by country you now check whether there would be a gap in the sporting goods store, need for a further station. In France, there have been these. In August, it is with another channel in the United States, type as well as in Spanish a high portion of soccer from Latin America, Italy and Spain. There, you will concentrate on international sport and less on domestic leagues. "Here we have a completely different concept than in France, so the Qatari." "It is not about competing with EDPN or Fox, it's more about a niche product, the spread of international sport"

The acquisition of television rights for many was a surprise coup, it's surprising but actually little if you know that Nasser al Khelaifi behind everything is. After all he is with the Qatar investment authority in the back, the Paris Football Club, Paris Saint-Germain last year just bought. He is the one who already pumped 200 million in the Club, wants to make the French League again betting capable Kamp, who is on the lookout for a new Messi. There will be no conflicts of interest between the two stations and the Club, so the al-Khelaifi. Nevertheless, a journalist and Director of a television Empire is owner of a football club at the same time? There remains a sense of unease.

The battle for the Premier League

Quick is really clear what it's really about al-Jazeera. They have their biggest interest at the British television rights to the Premier League. Because this was considered the most lucrative business in the World Football League. $ 2.9 Billion to pay sky and ESPN for the live broadcasting rights to the Premier League in England. The contract runs a season, now will search for a partner for a new three-year contract. "We have received also the Premier League an offer as some others. "We will review it and examine just the situation on the ground, whether there is still room for a further sports station", al-Khelaifi says.

UEFA welcomes the opportunity, to expand its partnership with al-Jazeera in France, it is called pages of UEFA. "We appreciate the dissemination and engagement for the UEFA Champions League in the Middle East and North Africa and look forward to be able to see a portion of the offered programs in France now," UEFA stressed. It may be a coincidence when granting rights that the President Michel Platini is French. One thing is certain: obviously, Qatar pursues an ambitious plan: by 2022 it will have established an international sports brand. It is the monopoly of the TV rights in all major countries to have for all major sports. Soon, it will be apparent whether it has achieved the first step. If not, there is still a little time until 2022.

FC Bayern will fly in the training camp to Qatar. The highlight: The friendly match against Egyptian champions Al Ahly. But the climate in Qatar is intolerable even in winter. Egyptians and Germans sweat to the bet.

We write the year of one after the awarding of the World Cup 2022 to the tiny Emirate of Qatar. Since then a lot has happened: the Qatari and President of the Asian Football Federation Mohamed Bin Hammam was suspended mid-from all positions and has nothing on lifetime to look more in the football business. Corruption in the election to the FIFA President has him Joseph» Sepp "Blatter accused, gave the FIFA officials Blatter faith. But also the Swiss no longer comes out of the negative headlines: since October is now even the FBI Blatter on the track and wants to prove his bribery.

Time and again, the word is corruption in connection with FIFA and the World Cup award. Nor-DFB President Theo Zwanziger puts on the Crown this suspicion: he wants to reconstruct the granting to Qatar, to understand how it came about that the World Cup not England or Australia went.

But the hottest debate turns around again and again - the climate. The FC Bayern München spends training base in the Persian Gulf for the second time. The weather was beautiful in the winter, the training conditions optimally - or corruption is lurking here too?

The Club in the Gulf or in other parts of the Arab world with Security feels comfortable and at home. The Bavarians are typically the only known German Club. «Without any phrase, an Arab of probably every German asks:» you are German? I love Bayern Munich. Whether in bad German, running English or just Arabic, it goes to Bayern Munich. And also in Qatar, over 500 fans swarmed during an autograph session to the kicker.


Blue in Qatar

It seems so in the Gulf to give football fans, the enthusiasm for Bayern is no farce, corruption, and bribery of the fans? -Absent. It moved at least 8000 football fans in the Stadium on Saturday to cheer the German against the Egyptian first division. From the outset, one was clear: both teams take seriously the game and want to win always.

Coach of Jupp Heynckes had run his best eleven. Al Ahlys Fußballdirekor Sayyed Abdel-Hafiz in advance announced that his team would give anything to give the fans a good game. Both teams kept their word. Ran, fought, Bavaria acted aggressively towards the front and Al Ahly had, however, aggressively. After just 11 minutes, striker Mario Gomez had to due to an injury from the square, the game promised to be thrilling.

Announced as a game, gave the UAE channel Dubai sports one of the friendly match. As usual overturned the commentator from sheer euphoria to his voice and generated excitement, where actually none was. «Only with the name, he always had his problems: from Heynckes he made easy» Heiniks «, short from Timoschtschuk» Timo «.» Finally also Bastian pig Teigers arrived name change on the Gulf, if still not quite correct. Almost lovingly called the comment"Schweinisteiger"whenever his ball contacts.

While the game actually looked quite normal from the TV and ran off, but something was different than in usual games. Broke at minute 13, the red shirts of Bayern seemed darker than usual, were you wet? It is raining in Qatar? No, it was not raining, it was just pure sweat that soaked the jerseys, trousers, after a very short time. Even the heat accustomed Egyptians glistened, the sweat trickled down two teams after only 13 minutes face down.

Sweating in the winter? Thereby, not only Franz Beckenbauer insists sustainably, to move the World Cup in Qatar in the winter months. No real alternative as it seems. But was it ever? Traditionally involves football viewers to the quotas to the fan itself. What thinks the emperor at such proposals? Fan zones have become an integral part of the football fairy tale in the summer, in the blazing sun with the players just with crowded pubs and restaurants - TV on all sides, sweat, indoors or out. Snow instead of welding? Who has bribed the Emperor? Maybe Qatar?

Cool 30 degrees - more does not

Suitable to the torments to the climate that now comes out: cool football stadiums with air conditioners down much had been too expensive - and highly unreliable in such large scale, finally admits John Barrow of the competent architects of populous. Sun-protected grandstands and traditional Arab ventilation methods should provide for pleasant 30 degree, less is not possible. Cooled stages were seen as the reason why the award to Qatar went. All lies or understands the Emirate, what is to come?

A few months ago, it sounded strongly to stick up to 150 billion euros in stadiums and infrastructure. The budget is shrinking continuously, the frustration of just German companies increases. Only 8 instead of 12 stadiums will be built, tenders take more and more. It will not be the great depression probably in Qatar.

Yet long not made to the chapter award of the World Cup in Qatar. Still, there are ten years to uncover the corruption allegations. Until then, the Emirate has flat, rather the balls before it shoots back.

While the euro reached its peak just play the Arab countries to the Arab Nations Cup in Saudi Arabia. The Lebanon went with the projects in the tournament, finally to end the long series of negative. The team unsuccessfully failed because of their great goal and lost 1-0 against the Iraq.

It should be a liberating blow. Just arrived but the football euphoria over the Lebanon: players, coaches, and fans had gained success, believed in the turning point in Lebanese football. It was a historic victory as the country participate in the final qualifying round for the World Cup 2014 clinched. The officials were running already with one leg in Brazil. Only coach Theo Bücker held the balls flat. The German wanted to certainly not know nothing of Brazil by a group. The first games of the qualifying round confirmed his sober expectation: the Lebanon lost beat Qatar 1-0 and 3-0 against South Korea, for a 1:1 was it against Uzbekistan. Thus, the Lebanon is disappointing.


While the next qualifiers for the World Cup are only in September, started on Sunday of the Arab Nations Cup in Saudi Arabia. Since 1963, there is this Championship, which took place very infrequently since the beginning. The team of coach Theo Bücker competed in the opening match in Group C against the Iraq. It should mean a U-turn, after all the lost games this year. Even if the team on the absolute peak is, it has won only once this year - against the Iraq. With this game, the Lebanese team already qualified for the final World Cup qualifying round; the enthusiasm in the country was limitless. The last and decisive round could be achieved for the first time in the history of the country. The subsequent match against the UAE became the popular event. Schools were closed, offices also. It seemed as if had any Lebanese watched the game on television. The Lebanon lost 4-2, and with this defeat, the success series died. No game could be won since then, none of the friendlies. Team teaming earlier this year before the confidence this has fallen again to the level of the pre-Bücker era.


Unit instead of quality

The game could not stop the losing streak on Sunday. Instead, a further defeat on the account of the Cedars, as the team in the Lebanon is called, was added. It may be that the team had to give up on key players like Youssef Mohammad, Captain and heartbeat of the team. So was the opportunity for the young, but the young footballers such as Nader Matar could shine a little. Lebanese media said in advance that many of the usual excuses would not apply in this game. For two months, the team trained continuously together; Media representatives hoped this would lead to a better unity and uniformity in the game, which would decrease the poor quality in comparison to the other teams. Before the qualifiers, Bücker stressed not to want to compare his team with the opponents of the group. There would be no professional structures in the country and few financial resources. The country should slowly build on the success, create structures and professionalize the team. This need time and patience, said the coach.

No luck in the game

In the first half, the team Badger could not shine. The inexperience of the players was clear: colorless acted both sides straight in the first half, earned only a few chances. The first 45 minutes were to end without that one of the two teams was even remotely threatening for the other side. Fortunately, the second half of the game offered greater pressure on both goals. And it seemed at times as the Lebanon approached the gate more than the Iraq. From the 70th minute, presented themselves to the Cedar as the clearly dominant team, but gave a chance to the other.

First, Abbas Atwi could not exploit a free-kick. Midfielder Akram Moghrabi in the remainder of the game then awarded two high-profile opportunities. Coach Theo Bücker stood helpless and gesticulating wildly on the sidelines. Thus, there were awarded chances that eventually were responsible for the defeat of the Lebanese team. In the 89th minute, the Iraq made it finally to go with a hit in the lead. The game was finished. But not the plight of Lebanon: on Wednesday, the team meets on Sudan. Whether itself to a renewed attack the team can pick up, we will see.

The new financial Fairplay rules UEFA will apply in the coming season. There was already a foretaste: after a small transfer scandal, UEFA excluded the Turkish Club Bursaspor of the Europe League. The international sports Tribunal decided however – the Turks must play.

In recent weeks, newspapers have written much about football. Of course, it was also EM - since the pages are filled with the big stars, the tops and flops. In the end, Spain has made history: A title hat-trick managed to achieved the highest score in a European Championship finals. The players have just shot away the crisis in the country. In addition to the blockbusters of football, there are also stories who managed during this hot phase not in the pages of newspapers, no more than a small message. One of these stories played out in Turkey. We are talking about great sarcasm, which may not easily be swept under the carpet. Football wrote in 2007, as the Turkish Club Bursaspor midfielder bought Collins Mbesuma; the transfer fee was ridiculous 375,000 euros. The Club could at that time but do not afford the players from Zambia. Bursaspor not paid the money and paid the debt until years later. Jump into 2011: Bursaspor writes in the black, is debt-free. Over the past four years were successful: first the champion, then the first participation in the Champions League followed in the year 2011 the Europe League. The debt and the unpaid transfer were forgotten – it was thought at least. The UEFA but debunked the Turkish audacity. Completely horrified about this uncouth behavior she punished the Association now hard: the bitter consequence was the exclusion of the Europe League in the 2012/13 season.

The CAS speaks justice

The Turkish Association did not accept this Edition: "it is impossible that we get such a penalty. We have paid the money with interest and are now debt free. How can an association that anyone owes more money, be punished? The judgment is a legal fiasco,"complained Bursaspor President Ibrahim Yazici. If you even take the finance as an example, there are just the Turkish League and the Turkish associations, who absolutely exemplary economies compared to Spain, Italy or England, and single and sell. Thus, the Turks submitted opposition and turned on June 8th at the International Court of arbitration for sport CAS (Court of arbitration for sport). Last week it delivered its verdict: in the next four years, Bursaspor is locked for a UEFA club competition, but only on probation. Only the fine five-fold of the CAS of 50,000 to 250,000 euros. In the coming season, Bursaspor may take part in the Europe League. This is a clear signal of the CAS on the UEFA: us does not come with such a small fish! UEFA is indignant. It accepted the decision, but obviously disappointed and surprised. Finally the verdict have nothing to do the oh-so-important financial Fair Play. Compliance with which was but according to UEFA of enormous importance. The bosses there are adamant that it is not right, if clubs would not pay off the private debts. The football and all leagues would have to match the rules established by the UEFA. These could be challenged not just by the CAS and questioned.


Fasting has considered the UEFA course completely right: If you buy a player, who must also pay - logical. But the Football League writes stories that wonderfully illustrate how the UEFA itself to a soap opera degenerates: it was once the most expensive footballers in the world, which rich was worth 94 million euros. 94 Million euros, which would - have Manchester United for him and got! Never before, there was so much talk to a player, and a such amount. FIFA boss Sepp Blatter felt the sum as justified - after all, Christiano Ronaldo is the Picasso of football. Ronaldo joined no not to any club, he moved to the Royal, to Real Madrid. The Club, Ronaldo is literally tailored to the soul. Single hook was at that time: the Club could not afford the superstar. So he borrowed money from a bank. Lender was the Bankia here. Now we know: even there, there was a catch, because the Bank could not afford this loan and borrowed money from the European Central Bank again. Strange but true: The monetary authorities were to the creditors of Ronaldo's. But this is not enough: six Primera División clubs owe the State together over 750 million euros. The bulk of expenditure of clubs is leveraged, the total debt is 3.5 billion euros according to insider guesses.

Is not wrong just wrong

The comedy goes even further. While the Spanish Government will not collect the taxes of the football sinner, Spain calls for help, in the form of international money donations. Otherwise, the Spanish League in the nu would be bankrupt and none of the clubs could pay back the money. In this respect, Spain is justified when football finally had a prestige project and you could not ask to ruin this. And the UEFA? It is all in order. She has nothing against the tax advantages of the Spanish clubs. Last month, she told the tax benefits did not infringe the desired level playing field.

It is fascinating to observe how different to UEFA rated right and wrong, how much courage against soccer giants such as Barcelona and Real Madrid just remained silent. Bursaspor is pilloried, it is almost obvious that the Association for the mistakes and scandals of other Turkish clubs with simply will be punished. It goes to Sippschaften, UEFA grabs all Turkish associations in a pot, checks for errors and punished. The UEFA as moral police travelling in Turkey. The alleged transfer scandal is but five years, because today much more exciting in the Turkish League is: betting scandals, bribery scandals - the Turkish Football League surpassing even with negative headlines. The Istanbul Club Fenerbahce, which finished second in the masters last year, this year was in their sights. The Club will have achieved especially with manipulated games this. Chinas was Fenerbahce President Aziz Yildirim. Yesterday he was sentenced: to six years and three months in prison. Fenerbahce also should be excluded from the next Champions League. The CAS decided again against the demands of the UEFA, it is played King class.

You cannot compare Bursaspor and Fenerbahce, just as you can compare Bursaspor and Real Madrid. The International Court has sent a clear message in the judgment of Bursaspor: Dear UEFA, some listen to us to pretend. Be brave and finally dare to indict the true problem children and taxpayers - Spain, Italy and England. In an emergency, Spain would rewrite history. However, the speech would be in this chapter not of heroes.

EIT 2007 FIFA has banned the wearing of headscarves at the football matches. Her Deputy wants it, Jordan's Prince Ali bin Al-Hussein, now change--and plays it quite generous with the concepts of culture and religion.

It is little more than a year ago, Ali bin Al-Hussein, Prince of Jordan, came to the Office of the Vice President of FIFA. Its predecessor, the South Korean Chung Mong-Joon, FIFA considered of risk for powerful bosses and was summarily voted out. The Jordanian Prince fit better in the new concept, hammams am a plan from the pen. The plan was easy to understand: key positions should be filled with heads of the Asian Football Federation. After the Deputy moved to Jordan tics Bin Hammam after the President. Although this plan did not, Ali bin Al-Hussein sits on his throne and finally begin what observers have been waiting for: he used his power in favour of his interests.

In June of last year, the women's national team of Iran itself to participate in the Olympic Games 2012 disqualified in London. The team competed in the Jordanian capital of Amman with the hijab. According to the international rule of the FIFA, this is however not allowed--religious and political symbols are strictly forbidden at football. As well, that in addition to the Iranian Kickerinnen three ladies from Jordan violated the rules. So, they were blocked by FIFA to participate in the Olympic Games.

And not surprising, that all of a sudden the topic in Amman of high heads of football including women's groups and women footballers hot was discussed. Jordan does not tolerate the exclusion of own women, wanted to finally eliminate the tiresome dispute over the headscarf. The woman Committee of Asian Football (AFC) commissioned the Jordanian Prince FIFA of the need to convince that Muslim female may wear a hat that upon their religious as cultural beliefs in harmony. The Prince with just this concern before the FIFA joined in December.

Evolution in the reverse direction

The power use of Jordan's may also be so logical, so absurd arguments for the ban of the headscarf ban failed however. At one time, the headscarf is not religious symbol but more cultural due. Culture is not prohibited by FIFA after all, culture had nothing to do with discrimination or oppression. We speak so in future of cultural differences, if we are talking about the difference between women with and without head scarf or hijab? Or are women who wear a head scarf, simply presumes?

It is now in Amman, the rules of football would have to adapt to the evolution of the game. In recent years the headscarf has become a central point for discussion within the international football because just more and more women are playing football. Worldwide Muslim players would be excluded from the ball game. FIFA must adapt to this development. That it is in most of these discussions and bans the theocracy of Iran or the wahhabitisch embossed Saudi Royals, seems simply to be excluded in this debate.


And here it is always absurd: conservative Muslims fighting with words such as evolution, to keep their rigid religious constructs development and adaptation. Point the finger at the FIFA and say: you must finally evolve you, adapt ourselves so that we can follow our old rules, which have existed for centuries. And you easier to do this, we lie to you: today, we wear the headscarf not out of religious conviction, but purely cultural reasons!

Who links the Prince - FIFA or Islam?

FIFA has Prince Ali bin Al-Hussein can convince already in December. She has agreed to the proposal to lift the head scarf ban. Beginning of March the Prince should now before the IFAB (International Football Association Board), the present his so-called law makers of the Holy ball sports of. On this day, it will be apparent how powerful really is the Vice of the FIFA. Should he win, one thing is certain: this was only his first prank.

The second point on its agenda could already be set: a general prohibition of alcohol during World Cup. Now is Qatar in emergency of Declaration of and Zugzwang. Beer even now belong to soccer, which have to accept the Emirate. Or not. Maybe then joins the Prince with a new request before FIFA and asks an alcohol ban, finally play football but so many Muslims worldwide. One must go with this development and to take into account. This is actually nothing to do with Islam, we drink nothing only for cultural reasons.

But at the end it is perhaps not the FIFA, who converted to Islam. Maybe link the Prince not the FIFA but Islam itself and secretly pursuing a liberal agenda? Because all too happy Muslims rely on the practice of their religion, in the diaspora to freedom of religion. But what can they rely in the future? On the right to culture? And just imagine, what happens, if alcohol and the head of hair for the show places suddenly no longer would be contrary to the religion, but only against cultural views. Perhaps twitters a corresponding fatwa tomorrow an Islamic scholar, the Iran's women will be pleased. Thus, the debate and this column to the FIFA and the headscarf would become obsolete

In March 2012, the International Football Association Board (IFAB) decided that Muslim women footballers should wear from now on special headscarves during a football match. A corresponding vote was taken at that time in London. With this vote, the IFAB revised the ban on headscarf by 2007. A final decision will be taken but only at the special meeting of the IFAB on July 2 in Kiev, the World Football Association FIFA said. Yesterday, there was the decision now: Michel d ' Hooghe, Chairman of the Medical Commission of FIFA and UEFA, withdrew his vote against the headscarf. "I no longer have the problems I had so far with the headscarf.
Next week the IFAB gathered again in Zurich to test the corresponding models. Only last month, Michel D' Hooghe rejected two copies. He feared that the cloths could rub on the head and neck or too much heat women during the game. The revised models have convinced D'hooghe, a final decision of the IFAB for the headscarf is nothing more in the way.

Triggered, the Vice President of FIFA has this debate, Prince Ali bin Al-Hussein of Jordan. Last year, the Iranian women eliminated prematurely in the qualification for the Olympic Games in London. While the team had passed the first round without a loss. However, they said that a game against Jordan in the second round. Reason: they should compete without headscarf. Result was, the game has been enhanced with a 3-0 against the Iran, the same thing happened with the following games.

For the second time in a row, Egypt for the Africa could qualify Championship. The political situation in the country and the ongoing qualification for the World Cup should be blame 2014. Because that is the big goal.

Sometimes, you must set priorities straight when it comes to success. Since it can sometimes happen that will give something needs to achieve something else. In Egypt, so a case can be observed. Even if on the Nile just much happened presidential elections, the dissolution of Parliament, Mubarak's alleged death - dealing with football, the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations and the 2014 World Cup. Both qualifications run currently, and Egypt takes part in two. The football layman may wonder at this point: How can that be two qualifications at the same time? The reasons are simple: the African soccer bosses have need to move the African Cup of Nations. The Championships were held recently. In February, Zambia surprisingly beat Favorites Ivory Coast. In two years, the next tournament should be held in the same year as the World Cup in Brazil. Moved to take this double players, the African championships on odd dates, it is played now twice in a row for the trophy. This means for some teams but now that they must play the qualification of two tournaments at the same time.


Three titles and then the off

That this is not easy, Egypt is currently experiencing. And it is precisely the football in Egypt, who suffered many setbacks in the past 16 months. The revolution and the overthrow of Mubarak's brought to a halt the national leagues for months. Footballers could not exercise, do not play, earned no money. The country missed the qualification for the Africa Cup of Nations last year and entered as the first defending champion in history, who did not participate in the following tournament. Seven times, Egypt won the Cup three times in a row. The real tragedy played but in February of this year, when 74 soccer fans in port said died during a football match.

The effects of double taxation and the unrest: Also failed this year Egypt in the qualification for the Africa Cup of Nations. In the first leg against the Central African Republic, Egypt lost 2-3 at home. The crew of the Nile does not have a 1:1 came out in the second leg on Saturday. Really dramatic actors of Egyptian football but cannot find it. Normally the defeat would have transformed the country into a cauldron, a defeat in the qualifying round before Mubarak's fall would have been an unthinkable scenario. After the game, the spokesman of the Egyptian Football Association Azmy Megahed denied any rumors that one would separate after the defeat by coach Bob Bradley. "This is just stupid talk. We adhere to Bradley. We hope that the Egyptians will forgive him. He has to work in recent months under very difficult conditions." However, Megahed and the Egyptian Football Association require an explanation. "I take the responsibility of the defeat, but our departure from the Africa Cup of Nations is not the end of the world. Not even when you consider that the unstable situation in the country affects all areas of our life and everyday life", as Bradley. The Americans trained before the national team of the United States is Jürgen Klinsmann's predecessor. As the cause of the failure in the Africa Cup of Nations, he sees but especially the parallel-running skills. Only five days before the national team against Guinea played, the players were exhausted according to Bradley. "I have not expected such a performance. This reflects the performance of our team in any way", the 54-year-old says visibly stumped.


The target is Brazil


It is unlikely that Bradley to his job must fear. Finally, with his team, he won just the first two games of qualifying for the World Cup. 2-0 against Mozambique and 3:2 against Guinea. They currently lead the table with six points and have a good chance to end up as group winners in the World Cup to start. Once Egypt did qualify for the World Cup. That was in 1990 in Italy. Two draw against Holland and Ireland with a defeat against England, the team was however already eliminated from the preliminary round of the World Cup.

Although Egypt is arguably the most successful team in North Africa, they could never again build on this success. They playful the last great opportunity to participate in 2009 against Algeria. In the third round of the qualifiers failed the team against rivals Algeria in the decider. "I think that it is incredibly important to understand what influence has the tragedy of port said to the society and the football community," coach Bradley said. The 54-year-old is sure: to play for the national team is today a much greater responsibility than before the accident. On Monday, Bradley said he was as disappointed about leaving Egypt in the Africa Cup of Nations. Maybe he was there but did not going. For coach Bradley, there is currently only one goal: the World Cup 2014 in Brazil. And to the next qualifying matches in March is still plenty of time to rest.

Yesterday, the International Football Association Board (IFAB), chaired by FIFA President Sepp Blatter for a special session in Zurich is met. Discussion was mainly about the pros and cons of the headscarf. Unanimously, they have lifted the ban eventually.

Rarely, the Football League brought to heated debate over a piece of cloth out as the running head scarf debate. It is five years that FIFA against the head scarf - decided for security reasons, as it was called. It was since then not permitted to deny tournaments with a hijab Muslim women. An end to the debate did not, instead she came last year really rolling: the women's football players preparing on the qualification for the Olympic Games in London, among them players from the Iran. The team traveled to Jordan and joined dressed with headscarf. Result: FIFA disqualified the team. This game, like the subsequent games, scored 3-0 against the Iran. Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was angry over the disqualification, described the decision as "inhuman" and called the FIFA a bunch of dictators. In the case of Iran or Saudi Arabia, it is the State itself, which imposes a strict dress code to the women. The Islamic Republic of Iran forbids them to play custom-friendly headgear without.

Considering this case but again, then not even primarily involves the ladies from the Iran. Three women from the Jordanian team did not allow for the Olympic Games, she wore a headscarf. Here it gets interesting: Jordan is one of the countries that has a predominantly Muslim population, writes a head scarf but no one above. 93% Of the population is Muslim; Nevertheless, women wear headscarf or not. So also in soccer: while eight women wear a headscarf, three of the players to be. It may be coincidence that prompt the Vice-President of FIFA, Jordan's Prince Ali bin Al-Hussein, the case took on. Finally, one does not bear in Jordan, that would violate own women by FIFA. With vehemence, he rolled up the new case, shot his project forward. Already in December 2011, he went before the FIFA and asked to reconsider the ban. FIFA must ensure to exclude anyone from the sport. It was about time to break new ground, to revisit the structures of world football and not to close against innovations.

Headscarf as a cultural symbol

As Jordan's Prince Ali bin Al-Hussein appeared before the FIFA, especially his argument was exciting, he formulated for the headscarf: FIFA in the past strongly against discrimination committed. This is one of the reasons who spoke against the headscarf, because finally, in some countries, women oppressed and forced to cover themselves. It was important, however, that FIFA had expressed religious symbols against any. On the course, everyone should be equal, should any differences there are, nor religious. Thus, she banned all religious symbols, even the headscarf. Jordan's Prince argued that the headscarf itself was not religious, but a cultural icon. Here, it was not countries like the Iran at the pillory but FIFA, because she close all the women from international football, opting for the veil.

FIFA has patiently listened to the Prince and even agreed to at the end. In March of this year, one stepped forward before the rule of guardians, the International Football Association Board IFAB. Here he presented immediately appropriate models that could be worn by ladies in the future. With the condition that FIFA Chief Medical Officer Michael H'ooghan which must examine Bandanas on their sports fitness, voted on March 4 for the wearing of the headscarf.


All should be equal in the square

Such a statement, of course, provoked excitement. Prompt three women's organizations to speak, who wrote a letter of FIFA; reported in France above all the militant feminist Anne Sugier, President of LDIF founded by Simone Beauvoire (Ligue du droit international des femmes). Here, it was said that the veil is a religious symbol which stand for oppression and it could not support the FIFA. The Western feminists were visibly upset that FIFA would adapt global sporting rules to Islamic laws. In the following months, always conservative Christians and feminists say are reported. Just the women in the Arab world is fighting for more rights and then comes the FIFA and turns on the side of the oppressor? The demand not only encountered resistance. In March, UN Special Representative Willi Lemke in the debate intervened and demanded a headscarf with Velcro as a compromise.

The IFAB did not confuse the voices. You decided yesterday in Zurich unanimously for a first test phase. In October cuts and design will be voted in Glasgow on substances. Designers from all over the world presented their sport suitable for cuts in the past few months. They tested were H by FIFA Chief Medical Officer Michael'ooghan. Many models convinced him not: he feared the cloths could tie, choke, and above all cause overheating. However, on Monday he announced: "I no longer have the problems I had before with the headscarf." Which of the models has convinced him at the end, is not revealed yet. "The question no longer is whether players may or may not wear headscarves. In the future it is only to the design and color, where headscarves are allowed", FIFA General Secretary Jerome Valcke said. The final vote whether the headscarf is sport suitable for at the end, takes place next year at the annual general meeting. Until then, the test phase be completed and should a medical catalog are available.

South Sudan is not only the world's newest State, he is also the youngest football association. One year after the establishment of the State much has been achieved. Membership in CAF and FIFA could be celebrated. Only a success is still waiting: the first victory of the national team.

In southern Sudan, it is difficult messages to oil conflicts and border wars to think about football. But this belongs to the image of the most recent State of the world. On July 9, 2012, of the southern Sudan celebrated one year birthday and also a football team needs an African State. So it made immediately after the establishment of the State on July 9, 2011 in Juba to work. But the cold start not just went up. The first friendly match against the Kenyan top Club Tusker F.C. went lost. Despite early lead the "Bright Stars" Sudanese referred to were beaten 1:3 at the end. After independence, this could not however cloud the ecstatic.

The Südsudanesischer Association had already more pressing problems than a defeat in a friendly match. Lack of infrastructure, organization and experience limit the chances of success. Therefore, July 10, 2011 in the national stadium of Juba was proclaimed in the evening also another target. Membership in the African football CAF, as well as in the World Federation FIFA.

And indeed: much faster than expected, the South Sudan Football Association arrived to its destination. On 10 February, 2012 South Sudan at the ordinary general meeting of African football CAF recorded solemnly in Gabon as a member of the Association. Even Blatter & co could request the most recent State of the world not be are. The International Federation of association football, FIFA briefly summarily abolished its two-year waiting period for new members. He was gone free. After less than a year after the establishment of the Association, the southern Sudan was on May 25, 2012 on the FIFA annual general meeting in the Hungarian capital Budapest 209. Member of the Association. The overwhelming result of 98 percent votes in the FIFA delegates had great similarity with the result of the independence referendum of South Sudan in January 2011.

The qualifications for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations, the Bright Stars while still not teilnehmenen, but qualification for the Africa Cup may 2015 and for the World Cup 2018 in Russia nothing in the way is.

But football is not decided at Association conferences on the lawn. There the Bright Stars ran in July in Juba again on 10. After FIFA membership was now the first official friendly match and the first game against a different team. The team from the neighboring country of Uganda was a guest. The expectations on side of southern Sudan were great. Because aground Uganda with a B-team. Most of the players came from the U-20 squad. The southern Sudan had, however, run its international stars. So was Richard Justin from Khartoum and also the scorer of the Indian League James Joseph did not shrink from the long journey to Juba.

But also with concentrated personal power of southern Sudan did not over this time a draw also. 2 2 the expiration value is with goals from Justin and Joseph for southern Sudan. However, was it this time, too satisfied in Juba.

Optimistic, the official in Juba is in particular the youngest trainer obligation of the Association. Since June, the Serbian coach Zoran Djordjevic signed a one-year contract as first official coach of the southern Sudan. Daniel received the award to the best coach of India as the first foreigner. In addition, he was successful as Bangladesh's coach and games the won the Gold Medal of the South Asia 2010. His team played against Nepal, Bhutan, 4-0 3-0 1-0 against the Maldives, 1-0 against India and won the final 4-0 against Afghanistan. 5 WINS, not goals. In Juba, one is convinced, the first win for the Bright Stars is no more forever be with Zoran Djordjevic wait on.

Theo Bücker: Yes, that could happen. Nine months ago, the Secretary General of the Association more or less forced me to take over the national team. He called me: ' listen to Theo, you are our friend. You know that you need to help us. You will need to take over the national team. But you know, we can pay you anything.' I said yes, soccer is my life. This is much more like bread and water for me. At the beginning all alone have let me work. The players have thirsted after success, have just stared at me and said: ' get burning. And zackzackzack were we, how it is said so beautifully in the Sun. As we were then, many from the Board came naturally. Everyone is at once the father of success. All those responsible are for over 25 years, but none has ever come to a game. You are now trying to explain to me how the game works. And there is the rub. The success that we had indeed proven in the last few months, has grown exclusively on my and the crap of the players and otherwise cooking anything. If I leave here tomorrow, then everything collapses here like a House of cards. I do not agree with many things that run in the Association. And I don't want that we now experience a roller coaster ride. If non-critical things do not change, it is for me to make more sense.

When you talk they listen, all large heads of the Federation would have to be replaced.

No, not at all, only the door keep they should. Is that what you've done so far. Sits there and says nothing. Yes I am not against you. I am only opposed, that your of the dead wakes up and tells me the game.

How high do you see the chance of qualifying for the World Cup?

All associations are ahead light years from Earth. We are the only association that has no money at all. Has no base, no structure in the League. I can take only good players as coach, where daily well trained and worked and is a constant competition in the League on the weekend. Haven't we all. I am indeed a sorcerer. That's what I've done since isn't Yes actually. But I have proved that the way I train, can catch up with others.
