Spagna, fiesta e delirio: gli eroi "incoronati" dal re Blatter: "Finale violenta"

Madrid - "Campeones". Magliette della Roja e braccia al cielo. Il tasso alcolico ancora altissimo dalla nottata di fiesta pura. E' atterrato alle 15 in punto all’aeroporto madrileno di Barajas l’aereo Iberia con a bordo la nazionale spagnola che a Johannesburg ha vinto la Coppa del Mondo di calcio.

Gli eroi incoronati dal re Dalla porta del velivolo, ornato con la scritta "orgogliosi della nostra seleccion" e con un enorme "Campeones", è apparso per primo il capitano Iker Casillas con in mano la Coppa del mondo. L’ovazione delle decine di presenti è arrivata appena il capitano ha alzato il trofeo. E quando il ct Del Bosque ha ripetuto il gesto verso il cielo. L’arrivo della Roja non è però previsto nella cerimonia ufficiale, come successo negli Europei del 2008, e sono poche le persone che si sono recate a Barajas questa mattina. Subito dopo la Nazionale spagnola ha incontrato re Juan Carlos a Palazzo reale e successivamente il primo ministro Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero.

Bagno di folla, madrid in delirio L'autobus scoperto della nazionale Campione del mondo si è immerso verso le 20 nella marea umana tinta di rosso che stava aspettando ansiosa gli eroi della Roja all'entrata del centro di Madrid, nella piazza Moncloa. In città, le strade del percorso che realizzerà l'autobus sono letteralmente state prese d'assalto e sono ricoperte dai colori rosso e oro della rojigualda, la bandiera nazionale. La televisione statale parla di più di un milione di persone in delirio per i campioni nel centro di Madrid e nella spianata di Principe Pio. Al piano superiore del double decker i calciatori festeggiano salutando i tifosi e bevendo birre e, apparentemente, anche cocktails. Secondo Rtve la festa scoppiata in città è ancora maggiore di quella di due anni fa, quando le 2furie rosse" tornarono a casa con la coppa d'Europa, e che fu storica.

Blatter: "Finale violenta" Il presidente della Fifa, Sepp Blatter, ha criticato i giocatori di Spagna e Olanda per il gioco duro che ha rovinato la finale di Sudafrica 2010, una delle più brutte nella storia dei Mondiali. All’indomani del match vinto per 1-0 dalla Spagna ai supplementari Blatter ha bacchettato le due finaliste assolvendo invece l’arbitro inglese Howard Webb, che nel corso dell’incontro ha estratto 14 cartellini gialli ed uno rosso: "La terna ha dovuto affrontare un compito molto duro". "Sul piano del fair play la finale non è andata esattamente come ci aspettavamo e come mi aspettavo", ha detto Blatter oggi nel corso di una conferenza stampa. Dopo la finale l’arbitro Webb ha ricevuto critiche da più parti per essersi fatto sfuggire di mano la partita. "Non sta a me giudicare la performance degli arbitri - ha spiegato Blatter - posso soltanto dire che la terna ha dovuto affrontare un compito molto duro e posso dirvi che non sono stati aiutati". Nel corso del match gli interventi più duri sono stati commessi dagli olandesi, che hanno rischiato di subire almeno due espulsioni nei 90 minuti regolamentari. "Non posso parlare della condotta della nazionale olandese ma da spettatore ho visto ogni scorrettezza - ha detto Blatter - quando si impara a perdere non bisogna dimenticare le basi, che sono disciplina e rispetto".

Many thanks for tinkag the time to respond to my post. Alas, I have not seen your entry on Niger I was looking for the most recent of the Almanack when I came across your recent blog posts. (Incidentally, it's coverage of stories like that one which attracted me to your Almanack in the first place I appreciate your global perspective on the world's game.) I offer the following comments in response to your with respect and in the spirit of your own:I have no doubt that the FIFA is doing good things around the world; and that many good people work for FIFA. Recent events and the news coverage of the past year or so suggests, to me at least, that there is a problem with corruption at the highest levels of the organization. I'm less sanguine than you are about the recent re-election of Sepp Blatter. Yes, 186 countries voted in favor of his re-election (in an election that, in the end, only had one candidate) but that could be a reflection of the corruption of the system (much like when leaders in authoritarian regimes are elected' with 99% of the vote). I don't think it's a zero-sum game where FIFA is all bad or all good. Could not FIFA as an organization be doing good work, especially at the grassroots, BUT also have a corruption problem at its highest level? For example the UN has occasionally been marred by scandals and corruption some quite serious but that doesn't mean the UN isn't on balance a force for good in the world. (Such an analogy is problematic I have not intention to elevate the work of FIFA or diminish what the UN does in making it. Rather, both are large multinational organisation aiming to act globally while dealing with complex politics and large sums of money.) The problem seems to be associated especially with decisions about the allocation of the World Cup, a decision with many millions at stake, taken by relatively few people. The potential for corruption in such a circumstance (witness the recent history of the International Olympic Committee) is significant. I think the appearance of corruption is as corrosive to FIFA's reputation and credibility as the reality of corrupt behaviour. I'd like to see an open voting system for the allocation of the World Cup and if that means the Anglophone countries NEVER host the competition, so be it.I would ask you one question: Do you believe there is any corruption at work in the way that FIFA decides to allocate the World Cup? If yes, how should this be addressed?If no, how does one explain the evidence that has come to light in media reports?As regards the media coverage of this. I agree with you that it's been one-sided. Don't, however, blame the messenger. I, for one, am not British and have interest in defending the British media's coverage of FIFA. I think fixating on this is an error.I do have a season ticket to Heart of Midlothian so I'm well acquainted with the less attractive aspects of the beautiful game!

Feel free to throw the automatic risacm card but if you look at who's selling and buying votes, it seems that many LDC places are the bigger beneficiaries I also don't buy Blather's theory of spreading the World Cup around into places that haven't had it before because the WC's ability to increase infrastructural spending, increase the value of human rights, and whatever else stuff he bambles on about. I'm pretty sure that if you look at what has happened since the 2010 World Cup and the inability of the new stadiums to be full used, the amount of debt racked up by the countries government, and FIFA making it so they couldn't be taxed seems disengineous at least. Diabolical at worst. The '86 World Cup was known, not just for the football, but that the government erected walls around the slums so tourists wouldn't see the poor. How did that work out? Fucking corruption is in all levels of FIFA. Shit, even Sunil backed Sepp. Between America's foreign policy and our inability to curry favor (especially since we have a President from a city renown for corruption), it would have been the perfect time to not back Blather and do what England did. We aren't going to get a World Cup anytime soon so fuck it go down swinging and be at least morally responsible.VN:R_U [1.9.15_1155](from 0 votes)

Im coming around to the idea of the first world countries divesting from FIFA and creating their own Association. I would imagine that if UEFA, US, Mexico, and CONEMBAL split off, there would be zero reason for the sponsors to remain loyal to FIFA. Somehow a World Cup semi final with El Salvador, Ivory Coast, China, and Nigeria doesnt have the same ring to it as Spain, Holland, Germany, Uruguay, Ghana, Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay (which were the teams in the quarter finals.)VN:R_U [1.9.15_1155](from 0 votes)

I dont know where Jerome Veleke gets his information from in a morning,we watch lots of TV and read lots of newspapers,we have seen nothing negative about going to SA,the only comment about the world cup is that due to the economic climate one third of the tickets are unsold,I guess he is looking for an excuse so he doesnt get a slap on the wrist

This would make it more interesting. I think they should add replay for offsides calls. If its a close call, let the play finish and then do a quick booth review. There were too many bad calls this year!

Perhaps&&&..Thats interesting to know. What is being said here is a completely different story with regards to the overseas opinions and expectations of SA during the WC. We shall have to see how it all works out. Thanks for finally commenting on Phuthu Dad!
