A FIFA Club World Cup Tourney in America

 FIFA CLUB WORLD CUP JAPAN 2011

Special to Fox Sports.

The FIFA Club World Cup is the annual tournament featuring the winners of the UEFA CL, South America's Copa Libertadores, African CL, CONCACAF CL, Asian CL, Oceania CL & host country, etc.

I'm respectfully suggesting Fox Sports submit the bid to host the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup. If chosen, the competition will be played in the month of December @ various venues in the state of Florida, Texas, Arizona, northern & southern California, and Washington. Bring in America's leading corporations such as Microsoft, Apple, Intel, IBM, etc., to finance this sporting project.

10/23  -  World Cup Soccer 2018 & 2022 on FOX.

<> Qatar 2022

Archive: Qatar 2022 Preparation

Congratulations!

Granted the game of soccer isn't as popular as other sports in this country, one of the priorities is to establish a solid base of regular viewers by distributing the matches to the affiliates such as the regional FSN, Comcast, making the game of soccer available to all. When the sports fans, the customers, recognize the quality Fox Sports is providing, the paid subscription policy will be in place. 

Quite frankly, this bidding result is predictable due to the rivals ESPN being stretched financially. Before the start of 2011/12 NFL season ESPN committed multi millions to their ESPN NFL. The NFL battle line is drawn. FOX NFL v. ESPN NFL.

Fox Sports can solidify America's NFL market by acquiring the 24/7 independent NFL network the same way NBC did to VERSUS for NHL games. The acquisition of the independent NFL network will tip the NFL balance in FOX favor for years to come.

11/3 - The ESPN Predicament: They are currently engaged in the high speed race to offset the multi billions $$ investment on their NFL program. Let's see direction at which the ESPN swing is at the moment:

The NBA vacation: The could be cancellation of the 2011-12 NBA season.

No games played. No revenues.

Question: Should Commissioner David Stern quit negotiating?

MLS playoffs 2011: After the stunning MLS Cup final upset to Real Salt Lake a couple of years ago, millions $ wagered on LA Galaxy to win this year. The LA Galaxy's decision to bring in the Irish striker Robbie Keane reflected this claim. Chop, chop!

The weekly college and pro NFL games: The odd is 3,000 to 1 for the 12 corrected picks out of the combined college and pro NFL games, 37 college games and 42 pro NFL options(14 sides + 28 under/over options).

Over the years ESPN has been built upon sports thievery for knowingly, intentionally profiting from games previously decided before played. That is sports stealing. Quite frankly, I've never seen the major sports network that is as coward, stupid & shameless as this ESPN. If the sports betting is taken out of the equation, ESPN'd barely function as an entity. Like an old man walking sideway with the baton.

11/27  -  The college football detective: The recap.

Start with UConn(4-6) where ESPN has vested interest and a group of 5 win teams from the relatively strong conferences before last Friday's and Saturday's games. They are South Florida(v. Louisville), Pitt(@ West Virginia), Syracuse(v. Cincy), Purdue(@ Indiana), Vanderbilt(@ Wake Forest), Tenn(@ Kentucky), Texas Tech(@ Baylor).

The point to be made: For a team, it takes at least 6 wins to be bowl eligible.

What happened? 5 out of 7 5 win teams were ambushed in a two day period. They were South Florida 24 Louisville 34, Pitts 20 WV 21, Syr 13 Cincy 30, Tenn 7 Kentucky 10, Texas Tech 42 Baylor 66. With respect, these scores were somewhat rigged to pave the way for (5-6)UConn to argue.

The bottom line: UConn(5-6) may enter the bowl eligibility in the event there are not enough qualified teams participating the bowl games. After all, they are college kids on those football teams, South Florida, Pitts, Syracuse, Tenn. and Texas Tech, might have been denied a bowl game. The pattern of ESPN's college football conduct, whose greed has no limit, hasn't only been shameful but shady. Not only bad but terrible!

<> Qatar 2022: Qatar made football history  -  Qatar today  

The latest Fox Soccer article. Why is this matter still debatable to this day? Fox Sports' Grand Plan: After securing the 2018 & 22 TV rights, is it true that Fox Sports is trying to swing this World Cup 2022 away from Qatar?

The USA should have learned to accept this loss. Plain and simple.

To Fox Sports, even in the slightest, DON'T be a coward for trying to retake this World Cup 2022 from Qatar.
